    Hi Hypno et al - hope you have all had a good day - won;t be about much for next couple of days; DD is going in for operation to remove bone spur from leg tomorrow, so am having to put up with very stressed and stroppy teenager till its all over. not looking forward to it at all.

    Have a good few days - oh yes and I sold a book on Amazon !!!

    Cooee, everyone's busy! Surfbabe - best of luck to your DD, I'd be stroppy myself in her shoes!

    Otherwise,the matched betting - just echoing what hypno said, I get myself in a pickle when I rush. I'd advise very liquid markets at first (like, lots and lots is being layed at Betfair), and doing it for matches a couple of days in advance - that way, when you check out what you've done the next day, you've still got time to put right any clangers. I've made appreciable amounts of money, and I don't push at it like some do. Maybe my percentage profit isn't as high as some others either (I'm sometimes bad at detail, and arithmetic) but that means say 75% instead of 80%, so I just don't care, its money I couldn't possibly get any other way.

    Hypno, you're obviously out doing, so best of luck, hope you're not too drained when you get back. Sleep well.

    Hi guys........El, lovely to hear from you - I hope you are ok xxx

    Surfbabe, I hope DD's op goes well, and that the stroppiness disappears too!

    Everyone else - hellllllloooooooo!!!

    Have just got back from a lovely meal out with my "old" student lodgers - had a really nice meal at PizzaExpress, but I DID find myself paying for it - not exactly cheap, but it just "felt" like the right thing to do......so I did it on the basis that the ebay/amazon money that I have made this week has paid for us all to have a really nice evening, and that is not something that happens very often!

    So........I need to get more stuff on ebay pronto :p

    Awww Hypno, that was nice of you - sometimes the feelgood factor is worth more than it actually costs. :)

    Thanks Snaggles, it was nice to do, actually - and the money is there from the effort we made from ebay etc, so we "earned" our night out.

    Benben, I have already done playboy casino - not as good as the current offer, I believe, but I still got free money, so can't complain!!

    Morning!

    I have a couple of items ending on ebay today, so may have a little more to add to my totals. Other than that, not much to report! I should be going for a run with Pania this evening, and we have someone coming to look at our little car this evening too.

    Have a good day everyone!!

    I hope the car sells for you.
    Just a random thought, do you know that you have paid off of your debt the same amount as my annual income last year!!!,
    I really must do more to up that income, and stop saying I am going to do. Must get started.
    I am saving, I am reducing cost, but I havent upped my income.!! Mmmmm. Bit of your energy needed in this direction.
    Time to get ready for work.
    Hope everyone has a good day today. (Mine cant be any worse then yesterday anyway.).
    When I die I will know that I have lived, loved, mattered and made a difference, even if in a small way.

    Ooh I hope your DD recovers quickly Surfbabe (not a good time of the year for her to be laid up!)

    Well done on the Amazon sale :D
