That sites poo, it gives the same answer for 170000 180000 190000 etc as I suspected money maker rather than close to statistics!


= 107,565
You are the 107,565 richest person in the world!

Pigpen, we had one of those, arrived just as I was taking DS2 to school so since then have insisted they change it.

Johanne, be suspicious but don't ask as he'll realise then you know that that means he's up to something and he won't do it again

I like M&W too, the DVDs will go up in price for a little while with all the TV coverage they have had I think, soon come back down again, they are on my + box.

Child benefit goes up on Monday 5 Jan

I think pensions go up on Monday as well, but not sure about any other benefits.

Goodness, I hadn't appreciated that any banks were open today. Cant think what HO stands for? Is it an English or overseas bank that he works for?

head office??

I got my child benefit letter this morning.. I will be an entire £25 a month better off.. suppose it is one weeks worth of dinner monies so can't complain really!

We should see the minimal benefit of hubbys pay rise in his pay packet.. 28th February.. he gets paid a month in arrears. Wonder if it will be a pathetic 1.75% again.. he got 12.5% rise once that was like falling into wealth!

DOH!!!! I was thinking Headquarters!!!! We dont use the term head office. That'll be what it is. I need my bed. Night night all xx

johanne

Didnt fly from my list as such except changing the bedding... instead OH gutted the living room.... totally changed all the layout of the furniture, wiped down grotty skirting boards, got rid of boxes of carp upstairs to their right rooms and changed the curtains even!!:j :j :j

Then this evening i went upstairs to change the bed and left OH and DD snoozing on the sofa...as they were quiet (:rotfl: ) I managed to tidy the whole room before DD shouted... Made up I got it done because OH is on nights for next four nights so i can never get in the master bedroom cos he sleeps all day.

Anyway off to bed to continue to watch carry on girls with OH.... see ya all tomorrow xxxxxxxxxxxxx

Pigpen 6.25am is plain silly, even I was asleep by 5am last night! Yes get yourself some sleep, school leg-it starts again soon. April tax credits goes up, child benefit goes up sooner doesn't it. Every little helps

Flower, :rotfl: I know you'll be sat typing numbers in seeing how much. DS2s called them 'square words' for ages, like many other things he can't say he can't accept it's wrong/change it, even when I take the pee and say they are triangle or circle words, does not compute!

Bah, I'm bored, I haven't done enough to make myself sleepy and my sudoku book is downstairs I can't risk going to get it, just incase

:rotfl: :rotfl: howdya guess?

I did £108,000 per year, that gets you 1,233,253 and top 0.002%, but if you do anything over 109,000 it only gives you 107,565 and the top .001% - anything higher it stayed the same, so not too sure, think that's it!

Any books to read in your room? any kids awake that you can send downstairs? sneaky bOggers kids, stay awake for ages...:D :cool: Hope you can get to sleep soon...

Am off to my pit now, not tired either so am going to read my 'dear fatty' book some more, cried when I started reading her letter to her dad as made me think of mine - 'so you are still dead then...' brilliant way to write a book...

hey I just realised.. it is January.. hubby should be getting a pay rise this month so.. I'll have mor emoney to pay off my debts but I'll also be slightly closer to the top 1,000,000 richest people! lol

Same here - and child benefit... (only for another few months though...)

ETA - ooops, just seen you've already put that...

lil_me

SSL, Flower, Johanne and the others off to bed, night night, sleep well Books, hmm, accounts ones, maths ones, will have a look see if I can find any others, I don't tend to read in bed. I might have to add Dear Fatty onto my wishlist as so many say it's good. I might watch Carry on film like Johanne (PS well done Johanne!!)

Hmmmm, I'm bored, drank another litre of water, bad idea really when walking is an issue :rotfl: wonder if I have a spare kylie somewhere.

Pigpen, flippin heck that's quite a lot, I was over joyed at about £5 a month not too skint but things just going up up up in price at the mo. DPs wages won't go up probably for a long time due to unitary council coming in, taxi fares need to be levelled out across the county and could work out worse off even, crappy but we're a bit prepared for it, which is why he got his Mam to clear his cards so he can pay her back interest free (and less if we're struggling)

Ebay, I haven't been on there for ages....wonder how many nice 'unwanted gifts' are listed.

My new dryer is coming between 7-9:45am on Tuesday!!! There is something wrong with these people!

:eek: :eek: :eek: How early? But will you be up for peeps to get to school - bet they arrive when you're on the school run - but at least it's not like my phone - between 8am and 6pm... how you supposed to plan around that!

I'm heading for my bed soon...if next door can keep the noise down I may just be able to get some sleep :rolleyes: They don't carry on this late that often (except when they have domestics) so I'm not going to complain, if it was a school night though I'd be at their frontdoor by now hammering 7 different kinds out of them

Just been doing some maths and I'm impressed. DD had 234 panini stickers listed on ebay (sorted by albums and listed as "buy any 10 for £1.50";) ) and I've just done the maths on how its going.
She has listed the equivalent of 44 packs of stickers (now considering she's had somewhere in the region of 100+ packs of stickers I'm pretty impressed so far, especially as 50 of those was a bargain buy from ebay :rotfl: ), each pack costs somewhere around 35-40p each from the shops, so thats £15.40-17.60 in value (not so good :eek: ). She's selling them in "packs"of 10 for £1.50 and charging 50p P&P. eBay fees the way I'm doing it ATM is 55p (including FVF), and paypal is another 27p, a packet of 50 envelopes cost me 76p (approx 1p each), and each first class stamp is 36p... so by my maths...
Income : £1.50p+50p = £2.00p
Fees : 55p+27p = 82p
P&P : 1p +36p = 37p
Income - Fees - P&P = 81p per sale

so that should earn her approximately £35.64 if she sells them all. Of course she still need to pay me back for the stickers I've bought for her online so that will be coming out of that money (£17.34 so far I think...) but I know the sticker packs that's she's getting will have more swaps in I think I'm going to work out what this is all costing me properly Then I'll head for my bed...
