    OK

    I did the betfair ~ once for me and once for MB. Profit £80 :D:D:D

    Even better, the horses I bet on are the two I pulled from the hat for the sweepstake at work today. How spooky is this:

    Horse 1 is DD1's name and return would be £200
    Horse 2 is DD1's middle name and would return £1000

    Its a SURE thing :D:D

    some horrible lemon vodka my sis brought me from Russia - don't even drink vodka and it was stronger than the usual stuff. she also insisted it couldn't be mixed so we drank it straight... minging but we still drank it!


    I think all of those flavoured vodkas are rank. I only like vodka in coctails like cosmopolitans or bl00dy marys. And who thought is would be a good idea to mess about with Baileys Irish Cream!!
    But these things take time, I know that I'm, the most inept that ever stepped.

    I think the worst thing I've ever drunk was wine that was a mixture of red and white - actually sold in the bottle like that, god knows why :confused: Foul... :(

    That would only bring me a return from the sweepstake though.

    In my excitement with betfair I only bet to win and not each way :o:o:o

    To be honest I think you can only bet to win on betfair anyway. You have just given me an idea though, OH has a quidco account that he set up for an A&L isa that he didnt go ahead with. I think I will tell him to go for the quidco thing too.

    Will have a look at that 1st thing in the morning.

    went to see the Spiderwick Chronicles earlier with DS and when the titles came up Andrew McCarthy and Nick Nolte were in it - was wondering if I'd fallen asleep again. Turns out Nolte was well disguised and Andrew McCarthy was only in it for a mo but still can't believe I didn't recognise him... I loved him! ok this was about 25 years ago but still... I'll be wearing my slippers outside next.
