Wednesday 11/2/09 What small dfw things have you done today???

got-it-spend-it

Oh Angelflower- not sure whether that is a good or bad thing. At least you can relax today, but you'd probably rather have got it out the way after getting yourself psyched up for it!

I've just had a cheque for £300 come through the door. It's a payout of a savings plan from my old employer. I definitely paid that amount into, but thought I had had the pay out as part of a bigger pay out when I left seven months ago.:o I did get less than I thought but thought that was due to tax (the rest of the money I received was from free shares etc so taxable) as I was a higher rate tax payer at the time.

Oh well, I'm pretty sure it is owed to me now I think about it- that's an extra £300 odd off the debt:T . Feeling pretty good about it as a year ago I would have though '£300 I'm not expecting, might as well spend on clothes, a weekend away, cosmetics etc....' but not anymore.

Sorry for that little diatribe- just a bit excited about it! It's 10% of what I want to pay off by the end of the year so a very nice little boost.

Afternoon everyone :wave:

Today's list:
*Got my credit card statement last night so will pay £41 of my monthly payment today, plus I have had £35 put back on it for some things I returned. I did buy some Jimmy Carr tickets on it yesterday but they are hard to get and I didn't have enough on my debit card, but my card is still 0% and it will get paid!

*Look for more mystery shops and hopefully pick one up
*Surveys
*Free scratch - 10p
*Online banking - got my £10.10 from free scratches in my bank so that will go in my ISA.

Very late today - waving all, will catch up later.

Snow day = shoot me in the head now and give up any idea of trying to work.

Positives

No petrol spent
Eating from cupboards
Lodger room doesnt need doing as he is stuck at home also
Tea from freezer

Today I will:
Look at bank - peak through half closed fingers
Try print out copy of lease for lodger girliewhirlie - she even spoke last night, must be feeling a bit more at home?!??
Review going away (DFW by not spending +£200 on a trip)
Try not to kill OH who had decided not to take any time off this weekend due to my not being able to predict the weather for the next 5 days
Try not to kill current children who seem to be trying to sabbotage everything at the moment

Seriously try not to kill myself through school closure snow stress
Feed chickens biscuits as can't get to farm for grain
Hide from evil supervisor who was expecting a finsihed introduction today (going OK so far)
All for today I think - shorter stripey socks on today - I feel this may somehow have contributed to the mayem I am currently in.
