    Another week! The time seems to go so quickly.

    £5.01 landed this morning from Ciao, so I have rounded it up to £10 and paid it off the credit card.

    Today's efforts include spending some time with dd2 and hopefully sorting some of her toy boxes out to decrease some clutter. I cannot seem to get motivated for eBay at the mo though so won't push it.

    £30 paid off the 0% cc this morning, min payment plus a little more to bring the balance under the 1k mark.

    I'm managing to write one DY review per day at the moment, and my total is sliding up nicely despite not having my previous cheque yet, so hopefully this will be a nice pattern to get into.

    Work again today for the next few days. Think it's going to be fraught, but we'll see how it goes. Makes me more determined to get reserves and knock the mortgage down for the future.

    Thankfully the bank acc isn't so dire than it was at this stage last month. Still haven't got any money don't get me wrong but it's not in such a worrying state as it was last month. Hopefully next month will get a bit better still though doubt it. Have some big bills coming in and birthdays coming up.

    Still waiting for my tax credit renewal form, usually mine has been sorted by now.

    - just submitted a missing cashback claim for dd1's phone contract
    - shredded some postal receipts from 2009 :eek:

    Tax credit form came today but OH doesn't have his p60 yet so I have to nag him until I get that. I got a nice surprise of a small £5 eBay sale today, and a cheque received for another eBay sale from earlier in the week.
