    So, normal service resumed :D.

    Logged onto Spanish bank to see how much I'll need to fund it over the winter. I reckon I'll need to add €900 to be on the safe side :eek:. Won't be getting below 90k anytime soon :rotfl:. (Just checked - 28/1/14, not taking into account the -€900 +rent -mortgages -tax -other expenses +additional bits n bobs inc. Tilly Tidies -small-work-bonus-I-had-allocated-but-had-better-use-to-pay-holiday-costs-and-get-Mr-GG-to-do-the-same-so-it-doesn't-come-out-of-savings etc. So, 28/1/14 it is then :D).

    Message from £co, £45 from Santander should be coming my way soon :T.

    DS's gf looks like she's got a job so they should be moving out soon (:j:j:j:D) will impact on above, currently he 'pays' £70 board which in reality means I keep all the rent from mum's house rather than give him a share - he'll be wanting that back :(. Plus no doubt I'll be buying them bits'n'bobs to [STRIKE]get them out the door quicker [/STRIKE]help them on their way :).

    No pennies to Tilly Tidy :(.

    :j Went to print off car hire voucher - decided to get a new quote - €58 instead of €148 - same class of car but only 3 doors instead of 5 - can cope with that :j. Same co as we used last time - off airport but v efficient and we got a brand new car last time (and free upgrade to a bigger size whereas I'd prefer a little one :rotfl:)
