Up to £26.30 on onepoll (since July) and over £45 on yougov since Feb :T. Well chuffed with yougov, seem to be getting one or two a day at the mo so should be £50 by Christmas :j.
Ah yes, Christmas. I appear to have got it confused with the Olympics, I gather it's actually every year and not every four years :eek:. Better get thinking I suppose

2 lots of chocolate bought for stockings, and DS has invited us round there for dinner so I'm well organised for Christmas now. Just the presents to buy :snow_laug.
Off to turn the car-boot-sale-!!!-bedroom back into a bedroom then out with friends for rest of the day :T.A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort Mortgage Balance = £0

Do you often have delays with the rent? I rented privately for 12 years or so and was late once in all that time (and was mortified when it happened!)0 -
Only by a day or two normally. One of them is just a bit dozy :rotfl:the other struggles I thinkedinburgher wrote: »Do you often have delays with the rent?

That is sad, I imagine it's one of the more difficult dilemmas as a landlord to know that a tenant may have difficulties, but that you still have your mortgage to pay.0

So, the dozy one still hasn't paid :mad:.
Busy weekend, out with friends and with Mr GG, DD, DS & GF around, now got place to myself and being anti-social I'm enjoying it :rotfl:.
Still haven't sorted out bedroom -c u m - car boot sale :cool:. Have however sold a few things on ebay, plus DD's stepmum wanted a book I'd won for Xmas so have sold DD it - though she forgot to pay before she left
. And none of the ebayers have paid - bit of a theme going on here :rotfl:.
So, scores on the doors:
Total debt on 1st Nov = 97.3k
Mr GG debt = 34.6k.
Will miss 2013 Challenge by a few k, but it was very ambitious so glad we'll have got so close :T.

Gotta say, that's a pretty geeky line up... although we did catch the one about the airplane engines and must say it was rather interesting!MFW Sept 2013 Starting balance: £101160.59 25 years :eek:
