Free Bank Account

So yesterday i got a Bank statement delivered in the post. not worthey of blogging you may say and you'd be right except for two details first it had a positive bank balance, and i didn't know i had it.

so it turns out i have a bank accout with £2.57 in it. Still not worthey of a blog so i figgured i'd have to do somthin with my free money. what i'm going to do is bet it. thats right i'm going to put it fritter it away. but heres the deal.

  1. Going to start with a pot of £2.57
  2. Use Betchecker.org to find the best odds in a high street bookmaker
  3. IF the bet wins half the winnings go in to the pot and half go in to my winning tally
  4. I'll keep track of it via this site
  5. when the new pot is calculated i'll open it up to requests for the next bet. it has to be offered via the website above.
  6. if the Pot gets les than £2 i will take a personal bet
  7. the personal bet should be even money and have a realistic chance of sucses.
  8. If the pot drops bellow £5 i will move some money from the winning tally accross in to the gambling pot.
so what do you reckon how? long will my money last? what should my first bet be? i'm thinking somthing on the world cup?

any ideas e-mail me or add a comment.

Racket Sports

Taken to playing racket sports of late had a go of tennis i sucked. tried Badminton which i was actually OK at missed a few shots but in the main not to bad. But its Squash that has really taken off. i have a squash Partener in the shape of adam from work hes been playing for a while now. me not so much and at my first attempt i turned up with a baddminton racket, supprisingly i lost that round. Worse still i lent my racket to Adam whilst i stole his and he only managed to break my racket.

Since then we've played another few games and im getting better the last round i even managed to get to a draw by the time we where kicked off court. And this was with a bad shoulder injury suffered the day before on the badminton court. By rights i should stop climbing for a while but it really does me no good to stop, so i shall rely upon Nurofen for the next few weeks. I would be fine stoping playing racket sports and would probebly be more acsepting of the injury if i had done it climbing but no when my arm went dead this time i just saw the effects it would have on my climbing ability. so i shall continue climbing and i shall ignore the pain untill at least after the west highland way.
