2nd Post


Brrrrr

Britain has been hit by snow and Ice and after a really mild winter its bloody freezing, it was -5 when I got in the car yesterday.

Whilst also debating paying off my mortgage I have decided to make more time for the tings I want to do....one of them coincides with earning some extra cash, but it will be a long journey and will not be a quick fix.

Learning how to trade horse racing....its like the stock market but with horses. It comes from dabbling in matched betting a few years back and after reading forums and reading other blogs I have decided I want to get into it. The only thing that has held me back is time, having my own time to do the things I want to do has been very limited, my job is stressful and very demanding. To over come this, I have to be better at managing my time between, work commitments, home life and myself.

Due to the large amount of travelling I do for my job I am going to start reading more, I will begin reading 3 books :-

1) Micheal Carrick - Between the lines
2) Reminiscences of a stock operator Livermore
3) Betfair trading made simple - Caan Berry

Yesterday was payday and although I am trying to save money I will need to buy the Caan Berry Book to help begin research my trading, I searched the internet and the cheapest I found the book was £7.99 from ebay so I have took a chance and bought it. Hope fully it arrives before I begin my travels again next wednesday 7th Feb. The link for the book is below for anyone that is interested.


I still cannot find my remortgage statement outlining my debt, I will look this weekend and update this blog with the totals.

So to help begin paying off my mortgage and to use matched betting I need approx £1000 in my account to be able to lay off a large stake, so do date I have saved £429.39 which I wont break down as it is a combination of me saving money from what is left over from my salary, interest on savings account and from cashback sites like Quidco.

At the bottom of each post going forward there will be a running totals of money saved and once I begin making a payment off the mortgage I will also add a running total of mortgage debt.
