Hope is not an Effective Financial Strategy

You have got a busy day ahead, and Happy Birthday to SJ DS.

Great profit on the listings and green with envy at your knowledge of MB.

Enjoy your day & weekend.

AFK - use the week to do some reading up on MB and then just dive in and make a start. Open up Skybet and Smarktes and give it a whirl.

Well play centre done (and surprisingly didnt even get a stern look off Mrs SJ, let alone a telling off!), dog walk done, and now having a brew whilst using up my freebets (£110 in all which will make about £85 profit), and placing a few qualifying bets for free ones tomorrow.

I'll also try to catch up on a few diaries (apologies if i dont get chance to comment though).

Thanks, needed that shove . . .Have read through a couple of times, but you have me down to a T - I dither, instead of just diving in :eek: Can you imagine . . . . Read through - do it , no wait a minute . . . just let me just read through that again :rotfl:

Glad party went as planned, my washing got a shower, only for it to dry up again. Now sun is shinning and it's quite warm

Wow i'm shattered. The week has finally caught up with me! Both parties and swimming lessons went great. I had wanted to sneak another dog walk in but no joy. Just waiting for kids to calm down now and then get them all in bed for 9, so i can quickly follow.

Had another bid on a new item so now at 10 sales for £17. Still 24hrs to go so hoping for another 2 or 3 items.

MB went very well again today. I managed to place all my freebets from goodwood for a tidy profit of approx £84, and then placed a few more qualifiers which yielded 1 x £5, 1 x £10 and 1 x £97.50 freebets. Will use these tomorrow and hope to clear £90, plus i have a deposit bonus that i've already placed which will make £21.

Now i said i would OP 50% of monthly profits upto £100, and this £100 OP target (from MB) for August has already been reached. Hoping for a few charity shield offers to crop up tomorrow.

Hopefully to bed in the next hour (rock n roll Saturdays) to catch up with a few diaries with some golf in the background. If i get a good sleep i'll head out for a morning run.

My wife is one of three. There always seems to be something happening and her parents haven't really had the opportunity to get away from having a very busy household (6 grandchildren now :eek:). Since my son started school I often think it would be nice to welcome a new addition (take a break from the new career before it's even really started ... ) but am fairly quickly put off as soon as I think about the first year. That and the fact I'd have to find a new wife first. :rotfl:

Hope you get a few more bids. Quite a few people on here seem to do very well from MB.

Alex my wife is one of three and the youngest so i was always under pressure to have 3!! Busy busy household!!

£1 TT this morning and subsequently dispatched the pot for the previous week to mortgage. £3.64 OP so August is up and running. We got another item bid on over night so that 13 sales for £18.60 (plus maybe £1.50 to be made on postage). Gonna be a busy evening packaging up ready for post office.

Well quick cuppa then out for a dog walk before the forecast rain arrives late morning - boo! Was hoping for a lazy day but we're going to a forest with the kids!

shangaijimmy

So busy busy day. 40mins walk with pooch early on (so about 3km), then we went to a forest and did a 6km trail, with a bit of faffing backward and forward from car park to entrance, then for ice creams and so on... So overall i'd done 15,800 steps by 6.30pm.

I've just been for a run as well which was 30mins. Now i know i'm not timing or measuring (and i didn't plan a route instead i just ran and decided which way as i approached each turn, and i didn't wear a watch), but with experience of running and previous knowledge of the route i ended up...i know it will have been about 5.5-6km.

So i'm knackered now! Just waiting for ebay listings to finish and then off to bed to watch either a film or sport on chromebook whilst Mrs SJ watches a horror film!

At present ebay is 13 sales with an hour to go.

You've done well with the steps today. We've also been out with our dog for most of the afternoon.

How did you do on eBay?

You and Alex both have three wives :eek:? Crikey, that's impressive .
