I’m getting more than slightly caught up in the buzz surrounding the Olympics, even though I’m not sporty in the slightest (I’m the biggest couch potatoe on the planet actually). I can’t help it, I don’t sleep much anyway so I’m sitting watching the different events through the night instead of those rubbish made for tv movies and infomercials, watching all these brilliant athletes Going For Gold for themselves and their country, it’s so inspiring and addictive. I especially like seeing my fellow Brit’s winning medals.

What’s also brilliant is Bet365 Casino’s current promotion which is tied in with the Olympics absolutely perfectly - The Going For Gold £50,000 promotion. The casino over at Bet365 is probably the best on the internet - trust me, I’ve tried them all - and this promotion is great idea and so much fun to take part it - it’s like really taking part in the Olympic Games without being atheletic, or having to fly out to Beijing.

You can win varying amounts depending on how well you do, from £25 - £1500 if you’re within the top 100 players for each day. How cool is that? I’d be more than happy to win myself a couple of gold medals, heck even a bronze medal would be awesome!

I’ve just gotten in the door after leaving the house 5 hours ago to do some shopping at a retail park with my mum. We managed to spend just £20 and that was £3 on lunch (McDonalds pound menu) and £17 in work on juice, milk and bread. Typical. I was so looking forward to buying little things in Ikea or a few pairs of trousers for work in Next or TK Maxx but every single shop that we went into was rubbish - shelves were half empty or items over-priced.

The whole point of going out in the first place was to let me do some driving but ended up I didn’t have a chance - mainly because the weather and traffic were horrendous. Hopefully I’ll manage to get out for an hour or two tomorrow since I feel like I haven’t been driving for ages and I want to sit my test soon, I’m fed up relying on buses to get around everywhere and taxis are costing me a fortune.

I’ve got to laugh at this listing on eBay for Irn Bru glasses - £14.99 buy it now? Those glasses are free for goodness sakes. There are about 150 of them sitting in the backshop in work - we’re handing them out with a purchase of 2 x 2litre bottles of Irn Bru and people are selling them for £15? What on earth is the world thinking?
