    Well nothing noted re charges from Absurd&Ludicrous but they are sneaky so I will be watchful.

    First day of holliers and I have plans - the first being I WILL NOT SIT HERE ALL MORNING.

    Sratchies done - up to £9.90 so I thought 'a little punt' to bring me over £10 - result - balance down to £7.76! Lesson learned.

    Over the weekend I must preform the miracle of turning the pennies into pounds - of course we are still owed money from May and I will chase same with hopefully a positive result there.

    Ebay: £30 last night and have one of them paid, hell no. It is like they know I want to transfer it to bank yesterday!

    There is no point in negative thought, it takes up time and energy which could be used in a positive, happy way!

    Oh yes, a little corner at top of statement adds up months charges and tells you when they are coming out. Strangely they cant manage 24 hour banking at the weekend but they can take out charges!

    It is just terrible here! Rain and wind!

    But thanks for asking, as it gives me an opportunity to brag :)

    I have the cleanest oven in Ireland, possibly Europe! I also got a bit of tidying/sorting for ebaying on Sunday evening and of course, the obligatory number crunch for the end of the week!

    Any day of wind and rain and now we have the fire lit! (In July, what is going on)

    Been to Absurd&Ludcrious and lodged some pennies - that covers until dd on Wed. Funnilly enough paypal withdrawl hasn't hit the account yet, supposed to take 2/3 days and it was transferred on 6th - another A&L puzzle. Thankfully no charges showing on account so they must not be charging me - whoopy bl00dy do!

    Did a food shop in Lidl £45 but that should last about 10 days, which is great!

    Listing my life on ebay, dvd's and cd's really. Have 50 items in total listed (ssssssssshhhhhhh don't tell Herewego, she set up a challenge and I will fail miserably). Need to list some clothes tomorrow and Sunday is definately the best day for that, so have those ready to photograph (yawn)

    Mr RMC is 'resting' today because he is knackered, bless!
