Punting is a mugs game!

What a weekend!

Went to the game on Saturday night to cheer on my boys into the grand final. It was by far their best performance of the season despite Buddy not involving himself in the game. Form has it, after Lance has a quiet one, he fires the following week, so let’s hope he kicks 8.2 next week!
I took great pleasure in watching the Hawks demolish the great pretenders!

Not only did I have 3 x $50 bets on with the work crew, I couldn’t resist laying a $500 head to head bet with a mate who’s a complete Saints nut. I didn’t really think where I’d scrounge the money from if we’d lost, but we were as close to a certainty as possible. So thank you St Kilda for chipping in $650 to the cause!!! So despite Geelong ruining any chance of the Free Bet paying off, we came out ok for the weekend! It’s a mugs game.

After making great progress each day, I’m surprised at the drop off since i introduced the services. Perhaps it’s being perceived as too desperate? It’s only in good fun, and I’m sure you find the humour in me cleaning your bathroom or car! hahah

Since our last update, the following contributors have shown their support – you guys are amazing, may thanks!:

Saint Kilda FC $650 I’m trying to be gracious in victory, but ahhahahahhahahahha!

In other exciting news, I made an exciting discovery on Saturday; when I stumbled on a much cheaper return airfare to LAX with QANTAS, almost $600 cheaper at AU$2,004. So given the recent contribution to the travel fund, we are now 65% of the way there with $1294.30 in the fund!!!! I know I’ve chipped in with Hawthorn winnings, but its still ‘free money’ nonetheless!!

We need to really step it up this week, so if you’re in need of a car wash or detail, or want to buy some Sweet FA – then please get involved and show your support!!!
