    Very organised! I have to ask how on earth you find the time to look through your finances and whatnot at that time of a morning - that's when I'm running round like a headless chicken wondering why everything seems to take 5 times as long as it should!
    Dealing with my debts!

    I tend to check them every other day and I have it down on a spread sheet. Besides that we are usually up at 6am with DH as the kids always want to wave him off to work.
  • It doesn’t rain it bleeding pours doesn’t it? First the boiler got condemned over the weekend as it was leaking gas whilst we were out and the neighbours smelt it and then today I woke up to a complaint about an e-bay item I sold. Just waiting for the third thing now.

    Oh well on to today, the man is coming back about the boiler today and I have refunded the e-bay item as I just couldn’t be bothered arguing.

    On the positive side of things, one of my other e-bay items has a bid on it and most of the others have watchers so fingers crossed they’ll sell too.

    I was lazy yesterday and didn’t do anything housework wise, so need to get to grips on it today and make a start.

    I am going to attack the surveys today too and see how many I get screened out of before I make any points/money.

    Have a good day everyone.

  • Hi Jo, the boiler we have is repairable thankfully. He thinks it's the program board? that's sending out the wrong messages to the boiler? hopefully we should have it fixed by this afternoon/evening.

    Sorry to hear about the boiler.
    I hope you make some money/points from the surveys today.
  • Okay the third thing has happened now...DS has had another accident! He banged his nose quite badly when colliding with another boy in the playground at school. It is quite a size and he's going to have a lovely black eye once the bruising comes out.

    Whatever next???? lol
