    Dear 2016. We're through. I'm leaving you for 2017.

    Yep! Going on a health kick for 2017. Not just physical health but financial health. :-D Shocking stats for how many people in the UK don't even have £100 in savings for emergencies. I really don't want to be in those stats anymore. Here's to positive year for all of us. <3

    Dear 2016. We're through. I'm leaving you for 2017.

    2016 has not been my finest year, physically, mentally and ESPECIALLY financially. After a 16 week battle with HMRC, I finally won my case in December and was able to clear loads of debt. It was a great relief but the stress has been immense. I had previously started Matched Betting and it was...

    So far so good....... but

    Well I'm getting the hang of stuff (£33 up) and am almost ready to sign up to monthly Profit Accumulator. Thing is, Coral have given me a £10 casino bonus. What shall I do with it? Do I just play it through and see what happens? I realise I'd have to deposit (and play?) 5x the amount to cash out...

    Oh.....and btw, forgive a couple of random posts. Trying to hit the magic 10 so I can put up a profile picture. The blank, generic one just isn't doing it for me. ;D

    Go for it Jon. :-) If life has taught me anything (especially this year) it's that standing still gets you literally nowhere. ;D

    General Chat - October 2016

    Well I'm still busy fighting for my Child Tax Credits reinstating so I guess that is going to take up most of my month. Wont let it get me down though. On a more positive note I'm working on the outline of my novel as I'm due to go on a 5 day writing retreat on Oct 31st. And I've been asked to...

    A couple (or 3) questions.

    Thanks for all the input. :D Well, I've taken the definitive step and done my first Match bet. Plus I've started to organise some other stuff (as advised). Slow and steady wins the race. ;D

    Thanks everyone. Guess it was just a lack of confidence. Anyway, it's done now. First stage completed. But I do draw the line at actually watching the match (not that the result actually matters). :-)

    A couple (or 3) questions.

    Well I'm having a good nosey round. Decided to try my hand at Matched betting (very nervous). One thing I need to ask (well, maybe two), How does everyone keep tabs on all the survey/free lottery etc sites that you use.? Do you have a special spreadsheet or notebook perhaps? Also I have noticed...

    Thanks Jon. Just gearing up for my first go at Matched Betting. I'm so nervous. Must have watched the intro video 5 times now. Eek!

    Well, lets start at the beginning. Kate here. Stone broke single mum with an adorable (mostly) Pesky Kid. Currently in dispute with HMRC who seem to think I'm not single. (Will take John Simm if they're offering). ;) Here to try to supplement a meagre income, make like minded friends and keep...
