    Uh oh, I have finally opened the scary post and now I need to write following letters:

    - 1 to council
    - 1 to bailiffs
    - 1 to BT
    - 3 to different financial institutes
    - 3 to different collection agencies

    I struggle with motivation. I am trying to figure out how to treat myself after each letter. Please note there is no alcohol in the house :rotfl:Good thing too as that kind of reward might affect the last laters in quite interesting way.

    Hour and fifteen minutes later and she has done seven out of nine!!! Woohoo. So Council and BT can wait for another day.

    Hi All

    Urg - Didn't get to reply back about the self employment registering yesterday. You do only register once, but becasue surveys were the first thing I started (before mystery shops) and didn't register within 3 months coz I didn't know I had to I haven't carried on, even though I haven't actually recieved any money from them yet.

    Today:
    Lunch from home
    Online banking
    Comps
    Free scratches
    Washing on low
