    Morning everyone (just!)
    Today I will be:
    1. Paying in cheque
    2. Buying more Stardrops
    3. Selling a couple of things on eBay
    4. Chasing payment for some freelance work I did (I've spent more time trying to get paid than actually working....
    5. Having something for lunch that I found in the freezer -I think it's soup, but it might turn out to be icecream?

    Good luck everyone!
    Overpay!

    Hi All :hello:

    Right, today I am feeling really positive. We have been having a really rough time with our landlord and flat and I wasn't getting any shifts at the restaurant so I have been wondering how I am going to earn this extra money, but we must stop worrying so much and be more positive! The stress has affected us too much and it has made me feel not bothered to do as much including not coming on here. The solicitor is being paid tomorrow so we can get moving with getting a new flat and we started looking at flats which has made me feel alot better.I rung the restaurant and I am going to be put back on the rota as of next week. I am yet to find out why I haven't been on it for the last 3 weeks. I must get on with more little things again aswell. Was going to do alot more today but haven't had time, so I think today will be writing a list of things I need to do and check my bank and transfer some money.

    Hope your all having a good day

    Pinkneonmartini - I love that Idea! If I make them nicely enough I might even be able to turn them into Christmas presents with a little tea light in.

    Cleosmum - I was worried they would break in the freezer? I do mush up most of his food myself but the jars are handier for when you are out and about.
