Unlikely....luckily he just claimed back some PPI so is planning to use that to pay for his bit (and the overtime/bonus he's due in his next wages).

Tomorrows to do list seems to be growing again!

• Mystery Shop between 8am and noon.
• Mystery shop/dinner date mid afternoon
• Need to swing by the place I ms'd the other night for a better exterior photo.
• MS a supermarket before 8pm
• MS a petrol station before 8pm
• Sort the boxes of things I collected from a freegler yesterday and are still in the car
• Post the sold ebay item.
• Hope the NPB actually pays now I've opened a case.
• Watch eBay listings make me money - one of the items listed was a freebie from a printable voucher on here last summer, I have two of them and current bidding is £5 with over a week to go.
• Writing up the collection of mystery shops and try not to cry with frustration when it's all going wrong.
• Run at least 2 miles, coz my 1.5 mile time is not getting any better despite now running almost the entire distance (most nights).
• And throw in a random weight check as I need confirmation that this weeks weight is more accurate than last weeks.

On the upside I just finished a couple of the things I planned to do like filling in my referencing and credit check forms for the new house, and sorting the heap of junk paperwork which lives in the pouffe need to shred most of it in the morning.

Whoops over slept again, I so do not do mornings! So need to do the before midday job tomorrow morning. Posted both ebay items, it remains an endless source of fascination how receiving an NPB case focus' the mind of some buyers, and all use the same excuse. :A

Just about to head out for a run in a break from the rain then will shower and head out to get the petrol station ms done.

OK so I haven't killed the neighbours yet, but am very close! They're driving me nuts, cannot wait to get out of here.

One MS left to write up, and some more general tidying up around the flat to get done and I can go to bed with my Kindle.

chevalier

sorry about the neighbours. it nevers ceases to amaze me how people just don't think about noise etc travelling when they are in flats...

It's weird the previous people must have been freakishly quiet (as are the people in the flat who share a living room wall with our bedroom) as since this couple moved in we can hear everything, from their conversations - if I spoke Polish I could probably talk to them without leaving my flat, to what I presume is either a rowing machine or some sort of baby rocker, and every single time they walk around up there. The baby is annoying but its what they do etc, as I know they're not British and speak very little english from trying to say hi/be friendly in passing in the communal areas I put a note through the door the other day asking if they could try to walk more softly/not wear outdoor shoes all the time since I assume thats why we can hear them walking so clearly. Flat wasn't refurbed between tenants, its always been laminate throughout (bloody stupid choice for the LL) so not like that changing could have made it seem noisier.

Hate hate hate the town I visited with Mr S this afternoon for a pub lunch, been there a couple of times in the past and never enjoy it there, one of those claustrophobic high rise town centres. But have picked up some over time for next weekend, it'll be a long day but the more pennies I have in my paypacket next month the less we'll be putting on a credit card to pay for the move. Mr S finally listened and applied for a BT card and has been given a much bigger than expected credit limit so anything over and above what we have in cash will go on that for him to pay off once we get the deposit back from here.

Sold a couple of small items on ebay to one bidder so have sent a combined invoice as the postage would have been comparatively extortionate sending the two separately and incredibly cheeky to send together without reducing the postage costs!

scubaangel

Ebay buyer has as yet still not paid, despite my sending the combined invoice. Unluckily for them as I mostly use my phone for ebay now I set up the automatic thingy to open NPB cases at the earliest possible time, that time expires at lunchtime tomorrow so hopefully payment will be forth coming soon.

Not done any mystery shops since Saturday, and only have one booked for tomorrow, which is at a horribly early hour from my point of view, but will mean that I'm up and about so can get my car head lamp sorted (blown bulb, am going to attempt a DIY job).

scubaangel

Spendy fingers have been at work again, kinda, went to the local small supermarket for some fresh veggies for dinner and came home with two fajita sauces coz they were on 3 for £4 and I needed the soured cream (£2.04, and the sauces at £1.99 each), and some big snackajacks as they were 2 for £2 and they're nice low fat/low cal munchies for evenings.

Rescheduled a ms for tomorrow morning as I've been told that theres a decent small car parts place near by which should have the right bulb for my car as Halfords didn't have the set I was going to get (with gift vouchers).
