not sure which way to go on this one
- either I claim £350 for a company funded weekend away,
- or I deduct £150 for some slap up meals with the family while we were there.
I think I'll just leave it as I was, and return to my £10 making ideas tomorrowI think I saw you in an ice cream parlour
Drinking milk shakes, cold and long

£20 for my birthday:beer:.
£25 for cinema vouchers. I will count these as it was only due to me being an :money:thinker that I decided to try to get some money back. (It was also my daughter's birthday, we took her to the cinema to watch Up 3D. She found it way too noisy and cried so much I had to take her out. She is 7 and has never had to be taken out a film before. Having spoke to a manager, we got 3 free vouchers for our next trip to the cinema. The manager ran after us in the car park and gave us a box of pixar models to say sorry, and hoped she'd still enjoyed her birthday:A:T.) Result: one happy birthday girl:D. Moral of the story - if you're not happy, just say something, as politely but as firmly as you can.Mortgage [STRIKE]16/03/2011: £190K 01/01/2017: £107,729.65 [/STRIKE] 01/07/2017: £95,979.89

=( Havent managed much the past couple of days – eBay has never been so dead for me! No body seems to be buying anything – Will put lots on tonight though and hopefully something will sell. I keep having lots of watchers but no buys ~ Maybe it’s when my items are finishing? Hmmm .. I don’t know :0(
Finally got life insurance last night, got a free £50 voucher and the monthly premium we were quoted was no different to any of the others~ Not sure whether it counts but I’m counting it .. Just to make me feel better!
