Ms Pania - you posted a SOA - very brave! Haven't done that and probably wont because on paper we can't do it.............but we do (even with a few panic attacks from me!!)

Delighted to see Capital One goners - well done!

Hope you are planning a mad crazy weekend!

Soooo.....have you worked out the difference in your surplus yet? It is a big difference on your SOA to the amount you were expecting so there must be a reason somewhere!

Are you ready for Sunday :eek:

pania

ok, yep. difference in surplus... paying mum an extra £100 takes difference down to £346. From there I know i have a £257 surplus plus the dog money which is going straight in the holiday fund leaving an unaccounted for difference of £89... still trying to track that down but online banking seems soooo slow to update at the moment.
All ready and prepared (and dreading) tomorrow. having a real negative mind block re running at the moment so will be a superb achievement once i've done it...hypno you may have to either drag me or leave me!!
looking after the dogs still at the moment who are happily playing in the garden., the young girl who owns them works full time and has 5 of them so her house could do with a bit of mrs r... I've got to pop into town to pay my cheque in for dog sitting then when i'm back will set to and try mrs r's two hour rule. Just to give her a helping hand i hope she doesnt mind...
Need to get my money out and get them in the envelopes too....
Have a good enjoyable saturday everyone, i'll be out for a 4 miler later just to limber up for tomorrow and try to get that mind set in a good place then plenty carbo loading tonight!!!
hugs,
P

There you are Pancake - cover in 'dog kisses'!

I hope you find the missing £89 - transport?

How is life on the street over there? Today it is sunny but with heavy rain for later (yawn).

Since I did my 'Mrs R' yesterday today will be book keeping - VAT return due which of course is great because that means more lovely lolly for my mits!

Don't forget that peanut when you go for your run later - just to get some practice in!

he he!!! hellllloooooo red! :waves: how ya doing? am absolutely covered indog slobber, how did you guess!! I'm not enjoying this dog sitting lark this time around, they are on a diet known as "bones and raw food" which is bags full of basically blood and offal. I am ashamed to admit that it got a little bit too much for my delicate vegetarian stomach last night... bleurgh!! hence the need for sugar late at night leading to the worst sugar rush madness ever experienced!!! :rotfl: life on the street???? red, i do live in a house you know!! :rotfl: lovely and sunny but a bit of a cool breeze, typical new zealand weather i'd say! if only i was actually there!! on that basis, D is looking for flying jobs currently and as there are none in the UK I have persuaded him that NZ may be a very good move!! **dreams** I know the heavy rain thing hon it rained for 40 hours straight over here the other day! hope you dont have it so bad. x
Right on that note i need to get my butt moving...

'Life on the street' is what the kids (or should that be kidz) say - get with the dude's g/f

I would love to visit that part of the world - never been anywhere close! Maybe when I am df!

Dog food - I love meat and I would puke serving that! Can't even give mine dog food without feeling icky!
