deep breath......and pour another glass of wine

Not looking good - into injury time and still the wretched team hasn't even scored! :rolleyes: Well - better get a good match on the freebie to try to get as much back as possible.

Not tonight though!

mizmir

Well they have got one back but methinks too little too late!

and the bet may be for 90 mins anyway........

Good point. FT 1-2. Ah well. Will live.

Receipts to sort through. Might be better news later.

Awh I was getting into that match - never betted before - know nothing about it - maybe I should have a look on that thread

Sorry you didnt win - love your diary and oh I can so relate to leaving expenses to last minute! In fact missed out on travel allowance of £63 just cuz I forgot!!!!!

Wishing you lots and lots of big odds wins SOON

Thanks RMC - was meant to be a matched bet - which are pretty safe - except when you make silly mistakes like this one! Still it will have qualified me for the free bonus and I will bet that in good time and carefully to try to at least get some of my money back.

MB is very well worth doing - IF you are careful (like I wasn't just now) and IF you make sure you really grasp the principles before you try. The Gambling loophole thread has some great introductory posts and there are lots of people who will help make sure you get it right (including me - though you may not want to trust me after tonight's fiasco!)

Have sorted the receipts - £568.96 worth :eek: - no wonder we are so broke - we are owed over a grand by our work places!!! Soooo stupid not to keep on top of these things I know - but so easy to do. Anyone got a foolproof way of dealing with expense claims?!

Re expenses - a girl in my work does hers every morning - ritually she grabs her coffee and goes into her office and just does them for the previous day - she reckons we are losing £100's doing them at end of the month. Think she may be right.
I work for NHS and they dont pay for much (eg my mobile phone that they contact me on, and as a lone worker you would expect that I should have a way of contacting them in an emergency!) so its important to claim for all I can, which I am sure I dont
Good luck

That's a good idea. I think she's right. I lose a lot as I do a lot of travelling and then lose train tickets etc that I could claim. But if I was more organised I could get work to buy the tickets in the first place which would make a big difference. Will try to do that in future. How hard can it be to think ahead??? :eek:

Morning all! Just checking in before setting off on a busy "dog day" - walking mine then off to help a friend with hers then home for lunch then a real paying client this afternoon - yoo hoo! Will catch up with you all later. Enjoy whatever you are up to.
