Thank you! Oooh, I don't know yet; I will now be saving for a new computer for my friend's joint birthday/Christmas present as well, so we shall see!

So, we have decided to go to another tournament (well, the first three days of it, anyway). The tickets plus a rather extortionate booking fee came to £103.28. Considering I added £7.68 in change plus £16.52 from Mingle, this is how we stand...

Even for CoC hotel

Now I need to save for a hotel and train tickets for the new trip :eek: It never ends!
Also, my calculations have gone awry somewhere, but never mind :p

Right, new fund time! Decided to make this a new start as I've got exactly the right amount in the old fund for the hotel in November.

I'm starting off in debit, as I paid for the hotel for the Scottish Open from my current account balance (wanted to make sure it was booked nice and early), so I am working to repay the debit. The total cost for the hotel was £146.50, and anything I make back will go directly into my account rather than my savings, to build it back up. Anything after that will go back into a fund for later stuff!

Starting with...

CREDITS
£3.00 - Pinecone

TOTAL
£3/£146.50
2.04% of total
£143.50 remaining
(No need to calculate how long to go as it's already paid for)

Clixsense paid $49, which a quick currency conversion on Paypal's site tells me will work out to £36.21...

Bit gutted as I checked the price of the hotel again a few days ago, and the price has actually gone down - but I can't re-book as I got the Saver rate. Bum :( Also lost nearly £50 out of my matched betting pot thanks to a website error :mad: So not feeling particularly rich right now...

Brilliant - I've hit it 2 months in a row, back up to £28 odd, hoping I have time to squeeze another two in before Xmas! Love Populus!

I am keeping the extra cash back for myself as at the moment I sorely need it. I have been asked to do some emergency cover at work this month, so at least that will help! A new fund will be set up when I start to earn online again.
