    Oh! I didn't think of it that way :o:o:o That'll learn me :o:o:o tho actually £45 of that will be taken up by the annual payment to that organisation I went to on Saturday :o god I'm bad at this - I must have wasted such a lot of money when I was earning well!

    Anyway ... moving on, the list has lots of ticks on... except I haven't contacted the removals people, and I *really* wanted to do that today. Just off again now to the post box ....

    Wow, you *have* had a good day! :) Glad you said yes to your nephew, it doesn't do to be embarrassed of having family round (mind you, 'm sometimes glad mine don't live closer!). I try to notice how much I judge when I visit other people - not at all - and then imagine they're judging the same amount (ie not at all) when they visit me. You *are* in the middle of moving after all! And removals first thing - it'll still get ticked off! :)

    Yep, I have - and when I got back from the postbox, a phone thing got brought forward from Tuesday, so its done already.

    Erm, I should also list dfw money gains to be added to the sig: £45 in the bank today from mystery shopping, so with the £10 from the records on Saturday, the July sig gets upped by £55.

    I've just been taking some pix of clothes that are crazy to keep - I'm slimm*ish* for my age, but in my teens and twenties, I must've been downright skinny, my waist must have been half what it is now, and I don't *want* to keep all of this stuff anyway. But when I was about 15, I had a little sophisticated phase, and I bought a lovely lined halter neck dress, pink, "only" about eight inches above the knee.... its a Radley! I went to the wiki article and found a link that led me to this:

    http://www.vintagefashionguild.org/component/option,com_alphacontent/section,6/cat,59/task,view/id,571/Itemid,100/

    the pink label at the top is the one I've got - Radley of London! God I was up to the minute :D

    Get you, a fashionista!

    Well done on the MSE money for July. DS has a school trip in Feb £170 but a good confidence builder, so its £20 this week, then more by Xmas and the bus cost just after. Mum has said if I am short she will pay but I want to do this myself the MSE way. So all scatchy payouts, ink cartidge and phone recycling etc will go into the trip pot. :money: I currently have £13.50 due for ink, I've researched recycling phones and should be about £23.00 and nearly at a couple of payouts :D

    I remember someone else on here raised £120 for a school trip just via MSE methods so fingers crossed.


    GENTLE REMINDER - PHONE AT 9AM ( was that subtle enough) :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    :rotfl: I know, I surprised myself :rotfl:I just happened to see the label last night, and remembered people on here talking about Radley bags, thought there might be a connection :)

    Thanks! Its certainly possible, and you've a while yet - I haven't been able to stop doing ipoints/maximiles, for instance, and vouchers from them are where the first lot of July money came from. Takes a while tho .... Do you do surveys, and withdraw the money to paypal? gl gl gl gl

    :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:Erm, what was that about again?

    I will, don't worry. Issues are:
    - date
    - insurance
    - will they come round to quote (if they don't, I don't want them)
    - quote separately for packing up. I want to unpack, I *know* I'll get too frazzled if they do it.
    - what happens if something goes wrong with completion.

    Speaking of being too frazzled, I've just pulled out of a mystery shop on July 27th - I'm getting a lot of clients that week, including one from overseas, and the energy a long mystery shop takes just isn't worth it in that case.

    So today, the plan is:
    - check out removals.
    - finish the blasted boxes that are halfway done - I *still* haven't done them.
    - print out mystery shop stuff for tomorrow (trip into town paid for :D).
    - ooh, put washing machine on, I'll do that now before anything else. people566.gif

    Hope everyone has a good day. Back in a mo
