    Hi Karma

    To stop the builders muddying your carpets get some shower caps (you know the type the put in hotels) and ask them to put over their boots when they come in your house. Saves them having to take their boots off and keeps your carpets clean.
    The man who fitted out Sky did this and I thought it was very thoughtful of him.

    K, you saw my threads on AH betting didn't you? :think:

    Basically you back as normal on the 1X2 market. Then if you are laying, you lay the -0.5 AH market only. The benefit of doing this is that AH is only 2% commission at Betmate which increases the profit. That's all you need to do.

    :D

    I think I still have just about enough wine left for a glass to round the weekend off ;) Cheers!

    Huh???? :confused::confused: But your threads on AH betting are tortuous and long and complicated and make me hyperventilate!!! Thats it? God I'm confused. Okay, I'm gonna sleep on that and look at some examples. Thanks SS.

    Dinner is cooked, cava is nicely cooled, I'm off. Bye guys

    Ah. The above is why I didn't get to wish hypno GL before now... I was being totally self obsessed. :(

    Okay, just to continue with the self obsession tho - the builder has just been round to measure up in detail for the new windows - luckily I hadn't got into the bath yet! Not much dfw going on today, its a long day of work-work, so to speak, won't be finished till 9pm. Onwards and upwards.

    Being self obsessed once in a while is allowed Karma! Um yes a good idea you weren't in the bath! that could have been interesting :rotfl:, good luck at work!

    Morning! I have *three* mystery shops today! Can't see much thats mystery about one of them, as I've had to phone them 24 hours in advance, and actually need to *construct* something in the flipping shop, but its all in the same geographical direction, and its definitely all money, so I don't mind.

    Otherwise, I've been on this computer for about 2 hours already - about 20 mins of sorting my social life out, but otherwise lots of emails to my beloved American cousin (ouch, ouch, ouch, D&C today), looking at the trading but not really concentrating on it - when am I going to bother to do that?.

    And... ta-da! One of my purchases on Saturday was a little vacuum flask, one third of a litre, for £1.96 - for when I come home late on Friday night. I only need to use it twice for it to pay for itself. I can use it today! By the time I get to the 2nd mystery shop, I'll really need a cup of tea, so I can christen my little flask, its cute.

    Dragon - saw that you'd got a bad tummy, how are you today? My builder was fine - he only lives 2 doors away, I made him laugh by coming to the front door with my hair absolutely soaking (I was dressed, okay? :) ) and telling him accusingly, "you said you'd be here in an hour!". He's sweet.

    £2 free reload on foxy bingo arrived yesterday in the post, so I'll do that this evening when I'm inputting from the mystery shops.

    Getting better thanks Karmacat!! I managed to get up, have a bath and get dressed today! Mind you I think lunch will be veg soup - it is all I really want! This does mean it will be a no spend day today, tomorrow and Friday!

    I really want to save some money and start paying huge chunks off my credit card
