    I still haven't decided what I'm saving my ebay money for, so I think I will open a new ISA in the new tax year and then stick it all in there ;) I may keep it for emergencies, or maybe put it towards a holiday next year, I'm not sure, and as I don't know I reckon I may as well whack it in an ISA and then let it earn some interest while I figure out what to do with it :rolleyes: :D

    Morning all :D Ds has gone to his dads this morning, and I'm gonna have a lazy weekend just doing bits and bobs and getting reay to go back to school on monday :rolleyes:

    Last night I had a mad half an hour and blitzed half the flat, so theres not as much housework to be done as normal today. The kitchen is done except the floor needs cleaning, the bathroom is done and ds rooom is done, just needs hoovering. The lounge is 90% done, and my room hasn't been touched yet :eek:
    I also have a huge pile of ironing which I may tackle tonight :rolleyes: then its just silly jobs like getting ds p.e. kit ready for school, getting stuff for packed lunches etc.

    I want to try and get a few more bits on ebay today, I've currently got bids of £15.49 which brings my total this week up to about £65 :j :j which was all stuff I was going to chuck out anyway ;):D

    Hi,

    Did you get my texts last week? I text you couple of times about meeting on the 27th but I didn't get a reply, so I thought I'd leave it.

    I think I had to put it on the page when I registered ?? But, I'm not sure but I think they're doint it for any new accounts .... have a look on the grabbit board, theres a thread there all about the offer, the gamling guys on there should be able to advise you for sure, I'd hate to tell you something and get it wrong :o

    Hi bbam'
    thanks have done that and placed bet. Have already had £30 put into my quidco account. You are such an inspiration that I decided to get off my bum and do stuff to clear my morgage also. This is my first real foray into doing this, extra stuff i mean. Thank you once again you are a great inspiration an a lovely mum to your son.

    Aww, thank you Happi!! I just had a look on the grabbot board just before you posted to check if someone had been able to help you there, glad you got it sorted ;)
    Right, I've finished my ironing mountain, now I'm gonna spend an houe reading the matched betting threads again ... earlier I was reading the mfw board and a poster called Tallgirl started matched betting at the end of January and she has earned over £1k in two months, so, just to keep me busy and out of mischief, I thought I'd better make a start on that too ;):D

    Good luck everyone who's had a punt on the race this afternoon :D

    I didn't win anything on the national, but it didn't cost me anything either, thanks to the free betfair offer :D

    I have spent about 4 hours today reading and re-reading and making notes on the matched betting stuff. I think I get the jist of most of it but I am too tired now to have a practice run, so I may try that tomorrow ;)

    I'm gonna go off for an early night now and start planning how much I could make from matched betting and what I could do with it all :rotfl:

    I did a tesco online order earlier to be delivered tomorrow as I need loads of heavy bulky stuff and I hate lugging it up all the stairs :o:o I got a £10 off £50 code from the discount board, so after all the offers are taken off the finl price should be about £40 or just under ;) It tracked on quidco too (£5) which surprised me as I hadn't gone through there, but it was a tesco account i opened with a different email account last week to get the bargains on tesco direct, so it must have registered me as a first time customer :rotfl:

    Back to school tomorrow :o:o so ds is just having his tea then it will be bathtime and an early night for him :D
