    Morning
    Glad RedBull got the organization right this time. I seem to recall it all went a bit wrong last year or the year before and ex-OH and DS ended up not getting there due to weather/traffic/too many people -don't remember just remember Chris on the phone very stressed outand loads of people didn't make it. Sounds like it was a lovely-if long day.
    Desperately moneymaking this month-the holiday is approaching fast. I had kind of relied on both my invigilating money and my CSA arrears coming through by then, Well i was given the wrong cut-off date for the school pay day so money won't be in until I'm actually away-and when I called the CSA they had called for the file in March and nothing has happened since. I was NOT impressed as this amounts to over £2K so have despatched CSA man to get it sorted-now I have a name he's gonna be hearing from me LOTS until this is sorted !!! May stroll down to my MP's surgery this Friday and get him in on the act-he's a bit of a rottweiller with these cases according to local legend and over 2 years is a bit long when both sides ARE co-operating and it's all down to CSA cluelessness. Ex-OH will pay but wants the paperwork right first-and I don't really blame him -but I NEED that money !!! LOL

    £2k is a lot to be expecting, and then to be disappointed for. I hope you manage to get it sorted pretty quickly!

    I have so far only done one qualifier matched bet today.......grrr......need to do one more before I go out, then will do the rest when I get home this evening!

    So many offers......so little time!!!

    So many offers so little liquidity is my issue ;)
    Half of me wants to throw everything at MB the other half wants to be cautious-fortunately the other half is winning :)
    Don't forget the Betfair offer-money for nowt (or £1 flutter at their casino) and the Eurobet email. Never found football interesting before LOL

    Hi Hypno. Glad you had a good day yesterday. I'm a bit out of touch (can't keep up with your diary!) - have you sold the car yet?

    Duchy, I am "borrowing" from my bills account............:o

    Just placed another qualifier - should release a £50 bonus later tonight, but that will be SNR, so bigger money needed in order to get the best out of it....bah!!

    Seaxwyn, I hope I have sold the car - we think we have but it won't happen until later in the month when the lady who is interested gets paid. It should go through, but in the meantime she may decide to spend her wages on shoes and handbags instead, of course........you never can tell until the paperwork is signed!!

    OH will then use some of the money to get his motorbike back on the road, and the rest will go towards the egg card, which should get that down nicely.

    Fingers crossed your buyer is a sensible type who will hold on to the money!

    I am sure she will. I am pretty sure that if it doesn't go ahead, there will be a really good reason for it - ie the money was needed for something important, if you see what I mean. I got the impression that she really wants the car, but like the rest of us has to juggle that money around!!!

    I am sure it will be fine - feeling positive!!

    Hello everyone - Glad you had a good day yesterday Hypno. :T

    It rained nearly all day here - but we did have a nice treat in the afternoon as DS godparents rang and asked if we would like to go down to theres (about 1hr away) for tea to give DD a change of scene. She (and her BF) got spoiled rotten of course and their DD was there as well. She is a doctor, so had a good look at DD's leg and changed the dressings etc for me !!!!. :j

    Even better, the hairdressers we go to washed, dried and straightened DD's hair for her free of charge - which was wonderful as of course she isn;t allowed in the bath or shower for another couple of days and can't kneel on the floor for me to do it cos of the stitiches in her leg !!!:T :T

    DD is a bit down today though - I think the anesthictics have worn off properly now - she had a general and local as well.

    Have a long list of things I should be doing - but am too tired at moment. We have open gardens in the village next week and ours is open but DH is away !!!! not good planning.

    Anyway - hope the rest of day is good for you

    Aww, surfbabe - glad you had a good day yesterday, in spite of the rain. Hypno, the flugtag does sound fun - and you're doing so well at the m.b. I confess, I'm absolutely terrible at using the reload offers, mindnumbingly bad. When I get back, I'm going to have to get to grips with how to do it, otherwise I'm just chucking away money after having gone to the faff of openng new accounts.

    Not sure where you're off out to, but I hope its energy inducing for you! Have a good one....

    Surfbabe - sounds like you have a lot of good people around you. but :eek: at the open gardens - I would die of shame if I had to do that round here :o

    Just got back from karate grading, and thankfully DS passed this time, so no need for consolation in the hypno house. OH is ironing :D at the moment so that is even better. I suppose I had better do some sort of housework otherwise he will feel just too rightous, and I don't know if I can cope with that :rolleyes:

    Hope you are all having a good day, and enjoying the sunshine!
