Hello everyone

Thanks for offer Cassey - I'll search for the thread and have a good read through.

Unfortunately today I had to cough up for birthday collection and forgot my lunch so bought a sandwich

On the bright side washing is out on line and have enough in for storecupboard tea

Think I might have to put the heating on though!!! :eek:

Klane, well done on the change in your shopping habits, it takes a lot to do that.

To those whose hamsters have died, sorry to hear this.

Becksdawe, welcome to the thread and we look forward to many more posts from you.

Falady, hope your feeling better soon and you get your motivaiton back.

To everyone else! Hello and hope youve had a good day. Not many dfw things for me today.

-Have checked for mystery shops but no luck
-Store cupboard meals for tea, plus it means i have more space for my tesco delivery that i am getting later
-Will check email regarding what i have ordered from tesco and mark out the bargains, as they are always delivering me only one of the buy one get one frees, so if they do that this time i will complain.
-Will work on brochures and leaflets for business
-Will sort through emails
-Fill in enrolment form for college course
-Look for a new job
-Do any surveys i may have received
-Place a matched bet
-Look at buying some counselling books
-Write letter to next voluntary place
-Call credit card companies up to cancel them
-Do some more ironing
-Check on site for more business advice
-Start devising action plan for counselling course.

Have a good evening everyone.

Andan - is it impossibly difficult to learn/understand matched betting? How long did it take you to work it out / get the hang of it? I'm curious about having a go msyelf.

andan

Its easy when you know how and in some ways its so easy that it looks difficult! You have to read the matched betting newbie guide over and over until it sinks in, its one of those things that you keep reading and then suddenly makes sense. I have been matched betting for over a year now and have made one or two mistakes but was able to easily correct them.

I'd suggest getting over to the gambling into board, read the gambling intro offer board index where you can find all the relevant pages then if you need it, ask questions to ensure you've got it right and start with a real easy bookie. They will be able to offer loads of help on that board. The main concept is backing at one bookie and laying/betting against it at betfair!

Today I:
-Slept all day so didn't spend any money!
-Managed to cook dinner for myself despite the fact my husband left me 1 piece of bread, and 1 really manky potatoe! Why ccan't he say when he finishes something??? It is not hard!!!!!!
-Checked online banking. Don't get paid till Wed. but still got £7.11 left on my overdraft- that'll go onto my credit card when I get paid as nothing else is due out this week.
-Put husbands spare money in a bag to pay into the bank- will do tomorrow- it's for our holiday spends. If I don't divorce him first for being rubbish with money!
That's all for today!

:eek: Thanks Cassey and Andan for your kind thoughts. :T

I'm feeling better tonight - i've had a long bath, put a conditioning treatment on my hair and found lots of sachets of pampering stuff to use (thought i'd got rid of them, so pleased to find them!). OH left me in the bath with a glass of wine, and i'm feeling much more chilled.

I've added some more stuff to ebay :T , including some sets of samples (which i got free!) :money: .

Clarins have an offer on at the moment (saw it in the Metro paper this morning) where you can get 3 free samples after a 10 min consultation with the orange lady (:eek: ) that runs the counter . I went to the 3 department stores in leeds centre (debenhams, harvey nichols and house of fraser) and got 9 samples in all ! :money: A bit cheeky, but why not...

I was going to use them for me, but realised that i would probably never get round to it, so i added them to some others i have (eg from clinique bonus time before i was DFW) and made 2 sets to go on ebay.

hope everyone has had a nice evening. 'See' you all tomorrow,

Glad your feeling better falady, sometimes we just need a bit of 'me' time, to recharge our batteries and remind ourselves of who we are. As i always say, you can't take of everyone else if you can't take care of yourself properly!

Great idea for the ebay stuff, have done that once or twice before, really must get round to going back on the freebie board.
