    Do you subscribe to any on the tips sites? Odds Monkey or Profit Accumulator? I've used both and I'm looking to get back at the MB, had a bad year family wise last year so couldn't focus. You need to be on the ball when you are doing MB.

    Thanks Beanie, I've just had a little burst of energy so have loaded the dishwasher and put that on, tidied the kitchen and my bedroom and put the hot water on for my bath :)

  • Hope you're feeling better today!

    You're doing amazingly well on the betting, I did think about trying to copy your success but I don't think I understand it enough. You do seem very organized around the house, so I may copy that instead!

    Thanks Esme, I do feel a bit better today but still can't do more than ten minutes off the sofa without feeling exhausted :o I did manage a bath earlier and I did get some bits from Sainsburys when I collected ds from the station. Other than that I've basically napped and vegged on the sofa. It feels like such a wasted weekend :(

    £9 withdrawn from Prolific, I am feeling a bit better tonight, I've had a big bowl of mango yoghurt for dinner and could taste it again :)

    I've done a bit of work on my cards tonight, I need to get focussed on it again. I've emailed my customer club contacts, I've emailed another care home and I've invited 3 new facebook friends to like my page on there. I've also arranged to send a brochure to a very good friend on here, from the olden days, who is running the London marathon this year. I will donate 10% of any orders made using the code MARATHON to her fundraising efforts, she is raising money for the Anthony Nolan Trust. Hopefully this might generate some sales and help me and also help her with her fundraising :money: All small steps but it all helps :D

    So, another Sunday night and it does feel like a wasted weekend, but sometimes you just have to stop and rest and let your body catch up again. Lets see what the week ahead brings ...

    So, neither of the two ebay items that sold at the weekend have paid yet :cool: However I have sold the third of the dishes from the hostess trolley today (£15), so will add £5 to my total and then the other £10 if and when the others pay.
