    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 :o. I think we break up on 20th and don't go back till 2nd so I suppose that deserves a rockettes-1739.gif.

    I've always found that Nytol gives me funny dreams - you know the ones - where you wake up angry as hell because your wife picked the toaster over you to play dodgeball in Primary School :rotfl:
    :rotfl:Mr GG is always delighted if he's managed to annoy me in my sleep :rotfl:.

    Well, two lots of rent still due :(, but some OP's made anyway. A few Tilly Tidies, a Halifax Reward and Santander cashback so £16 off BTL1.

    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.

    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!)

    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.

    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 pointing-smiley-emoticon.gif. 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.

    Currently decluttering last of the wine drinking-wine-smiley-emoticon.gif.

    GG :)

    Wine gone. Onto chocolate Port, whatever that may be :rotfl:.

    Crikey. Tonight I have watched programmes on:
    Rolls Royce engines
    Unbuilt Britain (engineering projects that weren't built), and now
    Great Continental Railway Journeys.

    I am turning into a geek :eek:.

    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!
