    It is really good to see that everything is going well for you just now and I just hope that the luck holds until after your next visit to the vet. :D Are you still succeeding with the matched betting thing?

    Cheer my dear. :)

    Matched betting is going alright. Have made Mays £500 target, but need to make another £450 this month to stick to £1,000 a month! :doh:

    My woofer is fast asleep on the sofa :rolleyes:

    Woofer spends most of his day sleeping now. Either that or eating. I'd give up a toe for a life like that! :D :rotfl:

    She moved in on our sofa about half an hour ago - she has her own sofa but becomes a rebel at bedtime.

    She now wants to be left to sleep, and is sighing rather loudly to get rid of us :rotfl:
    Is it better to aim for the stars and hit a tree or aim for a tree and land in its branches :think:

    And going by the size of her I bet if she decides to lay somewhere no-one can do anything about it! :rotfl:

    Since you said that you are half way to your target for May I am totally confused by the maths of that one but any way are there not 28 days left in this month to get there? :confused:

    Well my intial target was £500 a month for which I've already made May's money.

    But I'm upping it to make £1,000 a month which means I need another £450 to meet this months target. :)

    I understand it now but the complexity of it all was a bit beyond me to start with which is probably a bit worrying since I am supposed to promote intelectual development in children. :o

    From what my sister has told me you just need to memorise that and do not need to actually be able to write it. :D

    Just left woofer at the vets. :(

    I know it's for his own good but I still feel really guilty! It's probably something people won't understand unless they've got pets but I imagine it's like leaving your kids if they are having an operation! It's horrible. :o
