Morning all - beautiful sunny day here. Bit of snow for an hour last night which froze, so the cars were still a tiny bit snowy this morning.

What's everyone up to? I'm AQA'ing at the moment and almost done what I want to for the day.

OH thinks a table top dishwasher is a really bad idea :rolleyes: and thinks I'll regret it. He says I should use a cupboard for a full size one, but when I asked which one, and then, where to put the stuff already in the cupboard, he had no answers :rolleyes:
:D"Stay Wonky":D

    Morning Everyone:snow_laug

    Its snow city here today and I am supposed to be doing 2 Mystery shops but really don't fancy driving in the snow:o Hopefully it will clear a bit later.

    I am off work for two weeks but have loads to do for the P/T business but I have decided to do one moneymaking thing per day.

    Today it was going to be the Mystery Shops for £16 but that might not happen so I have been reading the matched betting thread since 8am and feel like my head is going to explode!

    I have joined Coral via quidco and have to bet 3 x £10 to get an introductory offer bonus of £10. I am assuming I also have to do this to get the £25 from quidco too.

    I am having a bit of a panic on now as looking at the Coral and Betfair sites I dont know what I am looking at. So most of today I think will be spent between here and the Matched betting thread.

    Hope they are as nice as you lot:rolleyes: as I am about to ask some very stupid questions:o
    But these things take time, I know that I'm, the most inept that ever stepped.

    I'm off work. Feel lousy and exhausted. Last week has caught up with me I think. And I may be getting a cold. Where's the violins?

    Nice and sunny, but barely any snow :(

    Of course your dishwasher is a bad idea Keren:
    1. He didn't think of it.
    2. It doesn't have a Rover badge on it.

    Do you have a utility room or somewhere in the garage which could be plumbed for a washing machine?

    A quick message for Louise J...DO make sure you look carefully before you start betting! I don't consider myself to be an idiot but I TOTALLY mucked up on Saturday doing my first ever bet on the GN. Signed up to betfair through Quidco, obviously didn't read anything properly as I didn't get the £25 free bet I clicked on and didn't get the £30 from Quidco. So I ended up losing £6 of my own money and £30 sign up. I still don't know where I went wrong!

    Good luck!;)

    Morning all!!! It's a bit cold here in London...........

    Cobragirl I am not certain but I think you needed to place £10 worth of bet on the GN on Sat to get the £30 from quidco on the betfair thing.

    Can't manage violins but you can have a little bit of sympathy as I've got a cold too :( So much for being nice and healthy having long walks in the fresh air :rolleyes:

    No utility room. No garage.

    So far today, I have made the bed, made breakfast,done the washing up and dried up, wiped the kitchen over, earned £25 on AQA (my aim is £20 a day since starting work and any extra to put towards my tax bill next year), put the dinner in the SC. I'm just off to go for a doggy walk, then come back and I need to clean the bathroom.

    OH got up and left - 2 minutes ago - to go to work.

    Apparently I 'should' be making good use of the fact AQA is a little busier today.

    Oh, really? 'should' I? :mad: It really puts my back up the amount of things apparently I 'should' be doing!!!
