Well, I still haven't made it to finding the mb threads, I got too caught up watching the footie
As much as Pompey are our south coast rivals I'm still well chuffed for Harry; he's done so much for south coast football both at Bournemouth and Pompey, good luck to him and them!:beer:

Benben there is plenty of time to get into MB, best thing is to sign up on a Saturday morning then place your first bets before the games. There will always be new offers on.
So BenBen a felllow South Coaster you are not by any chance a Scummer supporter?Save £12k in 25 No 49

That is a relief then Bournemouth is a lovely place I go there for conferences quite often. I hope they will still be in business did look bleak at one point but Harry has said he won't let them go under whatever that means.Save £12k in 25 No 49

Hope those who had a flutter on the Gran National enjoyed it. DH and I did pick the winner and we had done the VC fallers offer so we get a refund for those. That should see us break even with what I would have done if I had MB it. It was quite fun though and there might be 2 x £5 in free bets to come for a free competition VC was running.
Had my friend over yesterday, drank far too much wine and look and feel like a wreck today. Lovely looking at the snow we don't get it that often down here and I took my friend to the golf club for breakfast (£22). No one could play due to the snow.
Went to get some stuff for the garden £20 and then a quick visit to a golf shop that had some amazing clothes on sale £65 later = £107 :eek: :eek: :eek: .
Very expensive morning but I usually buy second hand clothes on Ebay (Long Tall Sally) so this was a treat and it was 50% off but still a lot for a top and a pair of shorts.
On the MB side, B*yles would not let me bet £50 on a horse just now so looks like that is the end of that advanture. Luckily I only have 1 free bet left to use. You can't split it so might be worth waiting a bit longer before I try again. Going over to the inlaws at 5pm so might need a rest before then. Really must stop over doing it on the white wine.:oSave £12k in 25 No 49

Survived the inlaws by main watching the sports and I had a bet on the golf and one on the football. In the end lost on the golf and won on the footballbut fully matched so it did not matter which way it went. Inlaws had a flutter on the Grand National and I had ofcourse placed their bets. They made a nice profit £28 back from £12 and they were impressed I got 10-1 on the winner when starting price was 7. I think I might be able to get him in MB yet.
As I mentioned in my previous post I was getting more limited with B*yles so I am going to be super careful with DH's account. I use the laptop to log into that and just wanted to check if the free £100 bet had come in yet. It was there but there was also £100 cash balance dispite my £100 bet on Arsenal to win had lost. I could not work out what was going on until I checked the emails and they had been running a competition that if the result of the Liverpool-Arsenal game ended in 1-1 they would refund all single bets on the result. How lucky was that £100 free money - happy day indeed.
Went to post a reply on the gambling board and DH asked me what I was doing. He wanted to read it and I pulled it away. I am not trying to have secrets from him but not sure I am ready to confess to running an online diary. He knows about MFi3 and all that.
Anyway must get some work done, have tons to do before my meetings Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday. At least I have Friday off as I am heading off with the girls to play golf.Save £12k in 25 No 49

Off to HQ in about 1 hour, staying two nights which does suck but there is a party for the staff Wednesday night so no too bad.
Nice thing about being away is I am 100% on expenses bad thing is I have topped the scales at 12st, never been that bad before that is 1st too much.
Just had a call from a girl at work looks like we are in trouble at the sales meeting my figures are so down. Scary, better get off now.Save £12k in 25 No 49

Just a quick hello, paid for wifi in my hotel as my 3g card still bans this site. Going to the staff do in 30min so should be getting ready. Free bar and food alnight the only thing I have to pay for is a taxi and as I am 2 miles away it will be cheap and we are 3 sharing it.
Not spent a penny of my own money so far so very good to be away. Had a long long meeting today but new boss seems nice and the old one looks on the way out.
Feel so much better about my job and will be so nice to see other people from the company tonight as I never get to spend any time with them. Better get myself sorted out and try to look presentable. It is a BBQ but at a very nice pub the company owns so will be fine. No dressing up so casual which suits me fine.
Hope everyone is well, I can't wait for the MFi3 update have 5 pms to update when I get back to my spreadsheet. Better press post now before my wifi runs out.Save £12k in 25 No 49
