Quick dash in, :hello: and dash out again - Saturday is a big day for match betting! Love to all xxxxxx

Good luck JM. I'd try match betting, but I dated this guy once who did spread betting and he casually told me he'd lost £10k, like he'd lost £5. He did have a lovely car and made a lot of money through it but I just can't seem to get my head around any of it. I once went into an old style bookies to make a bet on the grand national and we had to get an old guy in there to help us. :rotfl:

Also, I have a cold so my humidifier is going at full tilt and DH has manflu so needs much looking after.

I am the epitome of a little knowledge is a dangerous thing which makes me difficult to treat. Arguing with them and challenging their methodology tends to make me unlikable it's not as bad as it can get yet hopefully I have caught it in time so if I re train myself it will be ok. It's a reaction to stress

Not unlikeable Mellymoo, don't let anyone, least of all yourself label you as that. Hard work for practioioners times, from their perspective, maybe (although I think it does professionals good to have the orthodoxies challenged once in a while,) but not unlikeable.

Being an avid reader has its downsides I read anything so lots psychology and psychiatry text books as well as fiction I only found one I liked and she does grief not ED she was good I actually came away thinking about what she had said instead of laughing at her and advising her that I personally veered more towards jung than freud and felt both were an over simplified view.

Good idea with the peanut butter thank you, going to try to sleep now.

Ah, but spreadbetting is gambling. Match betting isn't. You can only lose money if you make a mistake (which means you haven't checked something, it's not actually difficult once you understand it).

It's a constant surprise to me that I am considered good at my job I need to learn to drive to open up multi site and mean I'm not reliant on Mr Moo and the bickering

That would be a great goal, learning to drive. Then you'd be in control of your own logistics!

Considering the crud I have on at the minute it's not a surprise I have relapsed I can't control anything else and need to control .

Well, look how you handled leaving your job! You did that just fine! You controlled your own destiny there!
You're juggling three lots of care and a job plus your own needs.........you may not think it, but you are controlling that bit of multi-tasking beautifully!

Then the shakes and smoothies are definitely a good idea.
If you can bear to, add peanut butter to your smoothies.

And avocado! Don't forget the avocado! Lots of nutrition and energy for very little eating effort!


JM...is there an idiot's guide to match betting?
Starting with...." What is Match Betting" in words of one syllable?

I have just been on the Cinnamon Trust website and dogwalkers are needed in my postcode! I have emailed them.

Brrrrrrrr.

Fir and I went out to look at woodburners ( well, one woodburner in a shop full) and ended up looking at range stoves too ( I'm not pro ranges) and now I'm freezing. Having been somewhere where its so warm I doubt I'll be warm again soon!

I have lit my woodburning stove for the first time today! Its only been in a month, but I have been to scared to light it!


I have used an electric AGA lir, and loved it. It was great for doing roasts and had a big rectangular warming plate on the side (besides the two round ones with covers) that you could keep food warm on, or air off the laundry. Goodness knows how much it cost to run though!

Our woodstove is nearly as much a part of the family as the dog. It's a bit like an Aga, having cooking facilities too, and keeps us busy and warm. I've just put some vegetables on top to simmer to make soup later. As you never get free gas but you sometimes get free wood, it's pretty MSE too. Even if I only had room for a small room heater, I'd never be without something you can light. I like to know I can be warm in a powercut too!
