    Thank you all.

    I officially have "no worries" in the words of Aussies themselves :D.

    Car should be collected tonight, sold for £4400. Also, the last armchair was collected today for £40. The ebay sales for the lots which ended over the weekend came to around £380 so that's on its way to the bank:j.

    Also £170 banked from the car boot sale - used the remainder of that cash to pay the oven cleaning man, and the £32 for the carpet cleaner who is coming on Friday. Also kept enough by for my hair to get done on Friday ;).

    Ooh and by Aussie bank account (the one actually over there not my pot) stands at $3004.:D

    Hey girlies

    Maybe not rich. Just remember I'm aiming to have an Aussie bank balance close to $20,000 and have just 3 weeks to achieve that!smileys-money-114847.gif

    Have been rushing around all day, crossing things off my to do list left right and centre. Absolutely shattered. Have even managed a bit of housework!

    Just off to have a mooch around the diaries, then make another to do list for tomorrow and have a rummage around the bank accounts dodo.gif.

    Well had a rummage at the bank accounts, the current account is a little poor at £284.78 in credit, but hubby due to get paid on Friday and as far as I know there isn't anything else to come off. The party is on Friday and its all paid for, so hoping it won't be an expensive night. Also, a few of my friends have hinted that they are giving us cash gifts to go away, so hoping to squirrel that away to Oz.:D

    Aussie pot stands at almost £2300. I have a cheque for over £60 still to bank, as well as hopefully the £4400 for the car. Around £380 en route from paypal to the bank from eBay sales. Also £40 from the chair being collected today to add. Think I will check back at the bank accounts tomorrow, before sending any more to my Aussie account. Was thinking about moving another £2k over which is approx 3k in $. smiley-think005.gif

    That would give me a grand total of $6k in Oz.

    I think I will hold off and see what the party brings from my generous friends, and see where we are at on Monday before sending another lump sum over to Oz.:p

    Have more to list on eBay and Gumtree, so hopefully this will spur me on.
