    Ebay coughed up another £39 - all paid for now. Just need to pack & post :o.

    £1.36 Tilly Tidy :j.

    Need £55.10 to get to 52k paid off - expecting £50 yougov but that doesn't exactly appear overnight. Over £30 mystery shopping due, but not for a while. May be a long wait till payday :eek:.

    Today I need to:
    • Phone mystery shop co to rearrange a visit
    • Do 2 purchases on edig surveys
    • Wrap and post ebay sales
    • Input sales details onto ebay for a purchase
    • Do the day job :rotfl:
    However, wide awake at 6am (though could have a nanna nap now :o) so got up, stripped bed and washed so I can dry in :smileyheatumble drier with internal light :smileyhea and cleaner can put back on, made a pot of soup, polished Mr GG's golf shoes and my boots and done money stuff :T.

    Could have done with Mr Tickle earlier when I got a cotton bud stuck in my ear :eek: :o:rotfl:. Oh dear. Drop in centre v good and quick though :T.

    Started doing edig surveys - plenty bucks to make but need to be organised as need to purchase and return on most of them - my poor credit card :eek:.

    £52.48 now, not exactly rocking it :rotfl:.

    Going adventuring with Mr GG later :T. But before then -
    • Measure up btl1 bathroom for tiles and ORDER as builder starting next week. Oops :o. Went round last night with builder - tenant forgot and had gone out :mad:.
    • 1st edig parcel arrived at Collect+ shop - need to collect. ETA: Just had message to say 2md one arrived. Miraculously message didn't arrive 5 minutes after I'd got back from picking up 1st one :)
    • Present to wrap and card to write.
    • Find out and save to phone 2 addresses re adventuring. Otherwise will be short adventure :rotfl:.
    • Check rent from btl2 paid and pay to offset. (Week late. Gave them a rollocking and asked how they'd like it if their boss hadn't paid their wages because they'd been busy. Also gave rollocking over them having a moan about back door not working. Em, yes that would be because you haven't contacted builder as requested to arrange it. Yes, I know it's my responsibility to arrange it. Shall I just do that then? Oh, what if the time I arrange isn't suitable? Can't you just take time off work? No? Do you want me to let him in? No? Hmmm, maybe would be best if YOU arranged a bloody time to get it fixed then. Or shut up :mad:. and breathe...........)
    Happy Saturday :T.
