Surprisingly embb, it turned very pleasant while we played, so not too cold:D Apart from the wind it was perfect playing conditions.

Evening. Got my stuff on ebay now, dinner eaten by all . Did shepards pie with mince from a new (to me) farm shop which was right by the paintballing. Beef actually reared there so very local and delicious.

Going to run a bath for DS3 in a minute and then once he has his clothes off get him to try the new stuff on before he gets in so I can pack any left over up whilst he is in the bath.

G&B is there a few for getting your cash out of betfair back to your debit card? Well played today though for the life of me I cannot see why you do that.

I assume you meant fee? There doesnt appear to be, nothing has been mentioned about a fee.
And i love playing:D Keeps me fit, met loads of new people, great social side of it. Bumps and bruises heal quite quickly too:rotfl:

Evening. Nice to see we are all here again. We appear to have lost the cat - neither of us have seen it for about 36 hours. Slightly worrying as it is still snowing, but not a lot we can do at the minute.

DH being very good - i heard the WM start and assumed it was DS messing around on it, and it was DH doing a load of his jeans, so i wouldn't need to do it.

embb glad the shopping trip was fun and productive, you will get there realy quickly sprucing the house up if you keep finding such bargains.

lil-me glad to hear you stood up to DH - too right he should get the takeaway when you have offered to cook.

guns and banjos sounds like a good game. Don't know how you do it though, would rather be inside on a day like today.

hex hope the chest clears a bit for you this week

tracey if you are reading, hope you are ok.

Thanks G&B now I have another question, been searching but I can't find the answer. With quidco if it says tracked are you ok with it being paid and if not how long do you wait usually? I don't want hubby to empty the betfair account and close it and thus miss out on the quidco.

No idea, sorry. Why not just take the money but leave the account open until quidco money has been paid out

Evening all! I'm in again this week - I dropped off at the end of last week, but I'm back in with a vengeance this week!

Sharon_1970_2

Ok It's official I have lost the plot. I have just signed up for this year's Race for Life. Anyone else doing it?

Also I will just say that I do zero exercise and am starting a new diet plan tomorrow so I am hoping this is an incentive to spur me on. I have quite a lot of weight to lose.

Isn't someone doing a weight loss challenge? Can I join?

Pollybear

I'm sure I'll be in again this week, I just keep plodding along!

Solwaykid

I'll be in this week please. I feel the most unstressed I have for weeks and I've got tomorrow off too so I might do two rooms. I'm planning a trip to the Metro Centre (please don't tell me the schools are off..) to spend spend spend in Primark and I have to take a boot load of belongings to my mate that I collected from his ex-girlfriends mother's house last week; eh??
I'll start in the morning and promise not to stay in jamas 'til 11.
Missed reading the thread last week so I don't know the gossip but hugs if you need one.
