Livvy Bird needs adventures fund

[Amy]

I decided to make a money earning diary as I cope much better with everything written down (writer problems, eh?) So far I've done 6 start up offers MB & i've applied for LeapForce.

My whole point of starting this matched betting and earning from home is to take my little girl (Livvy Bird) on amazing adventures. I can pay my bills with what I earn freelance but I have very little left for fun afterwards. This is where all this comes in. I want to bring back the fun. We have Florida booked for May 2018 for my 30th which I need to pay off but I'd like to fit in little trips here and there. I want to be able to treat her (and myself) instead of saving every penny!

I started with £65 in MB and so far earned got that back and a little bit more.

20/06 +£38.25

This looks like it's going to be a great diary to follow.

I think keeping the 'fun 'factor is always important. Working to pay the bills can really grind you down over time so hopefully now you can focus on planning for more exiting things in your families life.

Do you have much to pay off on your disney holiday? Each time we go to Florida I tend to pay it off in chunks so flights > hotel > disney tickets > spending money etc

 

[Amy]

It feels like every penny i've had since January has gone on bills, I'm only just making ends meet. I feel lucky that I booked a couple of breaks at the end of last year before money got so tight but once they run out I feel it's going to be very dull. I've already had to turn things down because I just don't have the money.

Actually my parents have paid the main chunk (hotel & passes) as my 30th birthday present (and Christmas), I just need the money for flights by November (Black Friday deals!) and spending money! I'd love to be able to pay for Pirates & Pals, and a couple of nights in a Universal hotel too!

wow , how much did you start with again ? i have only made 100 and i started like a week and half ago

 

[Amy]

I started with £85 and did all the high bonuses first. I'm not down to the bet £10 get £10 so I'm guessing the big money will slow down until I figure out the current offers.

Good luck @Amy, you've made a really good start to your match betting and well on your way to pay your for your holiday, it's a great place you and Livvy will love it. X
I have to agree with you @Jon when you work just to pay your bills is dose grind you down, been there, done that, not good. So @Amy keep going your doing a grand job so far

 

[Amy]

@pauleen we've been to Florida 4 times already (received two lots of inheritance and then I won a competition) so I know it's worth the hard work!

+ £14.32

Total £161.38

Much slower day today, only had one free £20 but set up a £30 and two £10s for tomorrow!

 

[Amy]

Sadly another slow day! This waiting on money to be withdrawn is cramping my style! I have the free bets but not enough for liabilty as I need it to appear in my bank account to put back into Smarkets. It's sad but I hate my horse winning now haha.

+ £6.53

Total £167.91

I have £45 in free bets waiting to go so still hopeful on breaking that £200 mark on Monday!

 

[Amy]

+ £12.05

Total £179.96


I'm having a break while I wait for all the money to hit my bank account from withdrawls before starting up again. I only have 5 new account offers to go!

Aha, i remember when i used to do second places, and i was stood in William Hill bookmakers. i was the only person shouting for my horse not to win. I think they all thought I needed sectioning.

 

[Amy]

I've not been well for a few days with stress so haven't done anything.. then to top everything off my portable hard drive died and it's £30 to have my stuff transferred to a new hard drive which is another £30, so £60 down. Feeling so disillusioned tonight but tomorrow back on those last few sign up offers to try and recoup lost funds.

Dust it off

AND MOVE ON

 

[maccyb25]

Wimbledon starts next week. There will be some great matched bet offers around for that. You can recoup this in no time. Don't feel disillusioned, come out fighting

 

[Amy]

Thanks @maccyb25 & @Jon

I had a couple of current customer offers from William Hill, Sky Bet and Sun Bet this morning so I've done those now that i' ve got my new bank and paypal set up.

 

[Amy]

I had a few rough weeks financially and mentally but I've carried on doing a little every day. Onto my refund offers and as of this morning my total is

£242.24

Aiming for £400 by the end of the month, hopefully I can do it!
