    Well I've just transferred £100 from my Paypal account to my bank account as I had an email from Payapl (and went to the website to check it was a real one) - saying I'd received $1300 USD in the last 12months into my paypal account so they have to review my account, something to do with anti money laundering! I've gone to my account and made sure they have the right details; they're now writing to me with some verification code. In the meantime I thought I'd better take my £100 out in case they froze my account hahaha. Goodness knows what thats all about, how mmuch is $1300 in pounds anyway, I wouldn't have thought I've received that much, but maybe I have - sold about £200 of stuff in May/June, so over a year it could add up.

    Weird:confused:
    I really need to sort out a new signature!

    Wow 6 mystery shops?!!! I registered with one site but never any jobs near enough to me.

    Anyway, I'm up and ready, just digging out my stuff to wrap up and post. Might use the online postage printer to save standing in PO for so long!
    Here's what I need to do today...
    • Wrap then post the parcels (8 of them)
    • Hoover the stairs (only part of house not done this weekend)
    • Go to Tesco
    • Do more college work, it's starting to make me feel bad, really preying on my mind so must do some before girls back at 3
    • Take a prescription request to doctors
    • Write to housing benefit - they wrote giving me details of how much they'll give towards my rent, but seemed to think I have £10k in capital, with an income of £18 from this capital! So need to write to ask where they got that figure.
    That's all for now......
    I really need to sort out a new signature!

    I've just moved the remaining birthday money (50.00) to the mortgage pot; I have used some formy hair, some for my next sale shopping and some for a cheapy docking station for my ipod. I try to save a bit of it each year as a bonus for the mortgage pot ;) It probably isn't what the people who gave it to me would expect me to do with it but it makes me happy :D It whacks a big chunk off of Nov 2029 and now means I need to find about 50.00 tobe down to October :D
