Still wound up this morning

Am back to my 'Ryanair are wonderful' frame of mind. In all the years I've flown with them, loads of times to Spain, elsewhere in Europe & I used to go to Ireland all the time for work, all that's ever happened is that one flight was changed by 20 minutes. I'm prepared to queue up to get on board if I can have faith at least there will be bl**dy plane waiting for me on the runway

to BMI

Edit: oops, who would have though bloody would get through the swearometer

Em, morning all, I'm still here

Been a bit busy which is why I haven't posted.

So far this week I have:
- made a few payments to offset :T. Unfortunately I did some at work with no spreadsheets and Egg website currently down so can't update _pale_.
- done a few mystery shops and got 5 to do today
- received over £850 since April for MS so hit my silver medal target *
- caught a cold
- at least it's not swine flu
- I think
- cashed in £3.25 from a cashback site and £6.50 from Green M.
- earned £1 cashback ordering a free box from Graze. Every little helps
- just as well as bill for new boiler in BTL is 2.5k
- which is actually at least 1k less than I expected
- written to bmibaby giving ccard details for refund as old card invalid. Have also 'requested' my booking fee back
- chased up and received a copy of house insurance policy renewal from Spain. Prompted by v bad fires v close to house :eek:
- received a mascara from Vie which only cost postage, will sell for profit on ebay
- sold something on ebay for a small profit, plus overcharged for postage which I feel a bit guilty about as I make a point of only charging at cost, but package fitted through the slot at PO.
- up to £38.50 on paypal, only a few more things to sell before reaching £50 free payout
- DS safely back from his travels
- along with 5 weeks washing
- and he wants to borrow money, including 3.5k to pay MSc fees
- DD won £100 at bingo
- lots of tomatoes growing
- all green

Gap do betting shops, as do RE - however RE seem to have a male only policy.

Neither of my £2 bets won yesterday , I have one to do today so here's hoping.

Still have all 5 of yesterdays shops to write up .

Buying the MoS today instead of Times as groovy Beach Boys CD free, may have a sing song later

zzzzz

Been up since 5, awake since 4.15 - had a stupid dream I tried to analyse, could only do so much of it, ended up wide awake so being sorting out paperwork since 5 :rolleyes:.

Part of the dream was about going on holiday & realising I hadn't booked car hire. I think this may be because we had to rebook flights in Oct & I haven't had confirmation back about car hire. But listen here brain, surely you know by now that I always get all documentation out a few days beforehand & even put it in the order I will need it, so no chance of me going without booking it :mad:. Still, I've fired off an email to company. I also had a quick look at our car hire for this month & have found it about £50 cheaper - have emailed to see if I can cancel original one, so my dream may have saved me £50 (but would sooner have had the sleep )

Was whittling because dd for ccard hadn't come out. Have realised the debits weren't actually on this month's bill, which will be zero (I only use it for overseas), so that is £600 back to offset till end of month :T. Must watch out for this in future, it's happned before, but better this way round than having a payment rejected for insufficient funds

Hope you all have a good day. I'm at home, with shed loads to do & 4 mystery shops to fit in so better get cracking :eek:

Hope you have a productive day and get a good nights sleep tonight I've been up since 20 past 5 too!:D

Boiler quotes... that's on my mental list of things to do when I'm back off hols but haven't got a job. Will guestimate high then won't go white and faint when I get the quotes through the door!

TPA look away now

Have just eaten 3 lovely yellow cherry toms, and I have a definite non-green tom on my red ones :j. They were yum, and that has saved me oh....... well nothing really, cos I guess you only save money if you don't buy them for a meal, not if you sit there waiting for them to ripen so you stuff your face :rotfl:

Other MSE news:

£5 Morrisons voucher from petrol so that's into the pot
Also £18.60 from MS which was also a work expense
Also over £9 from Green M & a survey co
Started Xmas shopping :eek:, present for friend's bubba for £6
Spent £50 on paint for hall (DS is painting it next week. He asked if he had to & I said only if he wanted to eat )
This is the start of his painting 'journey' through the house. It will be a mystery tour as he doesn't know it yet
Had to give back £100 deposit from rental in Spain - this is good as it means they didn't trash it! Had a nice email to say they had a great time
Isn't it quiet without Stuart
Did a few MS Fri & Sat, with one more for tomorrow. It was 2 but decided it was too tight time wise so have cancelled it. It's showing as available so will try to rebook tomorrow for Weds. Not great payers but I do get some shopping so quite happy
OH poorly today, he has swine flu symptoms but says he's ok
All in all, apart from nursing OH, a nice relaxing weekend, hope you all did too
