    Busy but good day yesterday, was invited for tea with family including distant cousin who I haven't seen for a few years. Volunteered to bring pudding so made that in the morning. Enjoyed the afternoon and evening out.

    The weather forecast is wet for the next few days so I managed to cut the grass y'day morning, just got it finished before the rain started phew.

    Today I've stripped my bed and put a washing on though it won't be drying outside, its very showery today. Need to do some cleaning and tidying today and wash the floors. A friend coming tomorrow which am looking forward to.

    I haven't planned very well for the possibility of her being here for lunch tomorrow and once I've eaten today the fridge will be pretty much empty so I'll need to go out tomorrow morning and remedy that. I have got an online shop coming tomorrow but not till the late evening.

    Have done a few days of matched betting, am up by £39.60 - should have been more but I made a newbie error which I understand and won't be doing again. Taking it slow now.....

    That sounds a very social and very nice weekend, teapot :) Also sounds good that you've understood the MB error - you're getting there, yay :):):)

    Bit of a tidy up this morning as friend came and needed to clear the table so we could eat. I nipped out to get some supplies to make a quick paneer and spinach curry which worked well. Cashed in some loose change from a savings tin to put towards the shopping.

    Had a lovely catch up with friend, after lunch we went for a walk through the woods and a wander down by the beach after. The rain stayed off so that was a bonus :cool:

    My online shop arrived and is all put away so am going to have some toast then chill for a bit. Not very warm here this evening so extra layer needed.

    Hi - my first time in here, maybe hang on with Pr0filic as I find it pays very well. 1poll is another good one where you can clock up earnings quite quickly.

    I keep debating about doing a bit of matched betting myself
