Karmacat: I'm passionate about my DFW journey to riches

Karmacat

Sorry kiddo! :rotfl:

I'm faffing a bit at the mo, got the first client in 15 mins, so its hard to stay focussed, and a friend has given a whole fantasy series that I'm finding addictive - I'm not usually keen on fantasy, but this is really good - Katherine Kerr, who writes of Deverry, if anybody knows it. Rhodry... ah, Rhodry.... and poor Nevin! Oh good grief, I'm stuck in fantasyland (KC gives herself a hard shake - oh dear, that came out as "her elf" :rotfl: at first).

Okay, I'm going to do a bit of online banking, see what money is where. Bye for now.

Sounds like a good fantasy series to me. Glad all the gubbins with the house is going well too.

Thanks Bob - I was worried about a big cupboard in the hall, that it had damp in it, but I had to empty it over the weekend (to find the safety goggles to use with the angle grinder) and there's none, I don't know quite what was going on there, but nothing awful, thank heavens.

I did my online banking, and its giving me food for thought. If I don't start doing the trading, and get the euro matched betting going seriously, all I'll be doing with my life is treading water for the next two years while my house deteriorates around me. And then I might still start to try to start the life I want to live - renovate the house, move to Barcelona/live in a camper van/buy a flat in Liverpool etc etc, but I'd have no savings at all behind me to do it, they'd have been used up in just trying to keep going. I know these long term musings sound a bit, well, pompous, but I have to keep thinking about the long term, otherwise I drift, badly.

Yesterday's plan was to do a matched bet, look at the L&G ISA, and cut back a shrub. Didn't, tho I did do the rest of the plan - sitting with the trading, vacuuming and online banking check. Thats what I mean about taking it seriously. OTOH, it was my first day back at "work" (I was working at various projects during a lot of my "holiday").

Today, all I have is a meeting with my partner, so I'm going to the things I listed there for yesterday.

I've cut back the shrub, found a matched bet, but not done it - there's a reduction of the commission from the exchange from 5% to 2% if you email and ask for it, so I have! Litte delay there. I've got hardly any money in my cheque account, so I'll have to push some money over there before I open the ISA. Off for a cup of tea (again).

:rotfl: Nice one Bob! Good idea to keep an eye on those long term plans Karma, it's what keeps us going, isn't it?!

The long term stuff is essential, really, isn't it - what Mizmir was talking about a few weeks ago - you need a long term plan so that the short term and medium term stuff all fits together.

Well, my rate at Betdaq has been reduced to 2% till the end of December - thats a big incentive to push on with the euro m.b.ing. - adds more than 1% to the total return, that can't be bad.

And I've done my first ever reload at sportingbet, in sterling - that was my first ever bookie, and its a big one too - £50, and I found a dead-on match, 10/10, so I should get quite a bit out of it.

Not much else, otherwise - brought some books down to list them on Amazon, but haven't even made a start. Its one of my two busy days this week - I'm pleased I've managed to squeak in on the sportingbet thing, which finishes at the end of September. Got to look at the next sterling one for this Saturday, and finishing the current euro. And find a few mysteryshops, which are *very* thin on the ground for me. How lovely a nice fat juicy focus group would be right now!

Listed *one* book on Amazon (so far), got paid by one of my mystery shop firms- a whole £10 - and finally bagged another mystery shop from the other one. I'm going to have to check I'm eligible, tho I'm pretty sure I am, and it will pay the busfare to ballet next week.

Just had my water meter fitted! Hurray! Since the payment for the earthing was made a while ago, its all onwards and upwards from here.

My matched bet lost at the bookie and won at the exchange, which is good, expecting the reload soon.

And I've been paid for all the mystery shops I did last month! There were so many problems, I was really sure I wouldn't get paid for at least two of them, but they're all okay - so thats a total of £71.40 counting yesterday's payment, so thats off to my "dedicated" account.

So today, the plan is:
- work towards completing first euro bookie
- look for next sterling bookie.
- do a bit of background work on listing, colouring in squares, etc etc - will update later.
- get a birthday card off for my auntie.
- join focus force, the other focus group organisation that I was told about earlier this month.
- close my first spreadbetting account (keeping the NatWest one) so I can get that money into an interest bearing account.
- spare ten minutes or so, list a couple of books on Amazon.

That'll do. And then I've got 1.5 hours of ballet in the evening!
