    So, I leave you in charge of Martin & Martina & what happens? One has to get rescued from a path & put back in the nest & the other accidentally knocks dad off the perch, gets attacked by him and ends up in birdie hospital/hotel overnight :eek:. All well now though :).

    Fab holiday, post holiday slump being determinedly fought off. Have come back v motivated in lots of ways so onwards & downwards (em, having just weighed myself, that is apt in so many ways :o). Need to do accounts, looking v scary :(.

    Happy birthday DS, 25 today :eek::eek::eek::eek:.

    Payday :D

    Accounts day :eek:

    Oh dear :(.

    Too much money spent on clothes, house, holiday etc. Need to top up savings account so that's £400 of OP money gone. Running an overdraft. 1 tenant has problems with HB so is waiting on that to be sorted. Waiting on man to fix fence and paint eaves. I think I'll just write off this month's OP's - will be a few hundred off overall debt but not off btl debt :(. Still, doesn't alter Nov as clearing date so I can live with that :).

    Ho hum :(

    I am v excited about it :D. Free entertainment for weeks :T.

    More positive this morning :).

    A fairly large part of the holiday was spent on my jacksy reading mags my friend and I had bought. I decided I could write a better v short story than in Prima, also the readers tips and letters in most mags were surely easy earners. Decided that I would be writing in with tips etc to all and also write a short story. Basically, any little thing which could earn me money. Came home to discover a small improvement I had suggested at work before my holiday had won me a £25 voucher. Thank you for listening, Universe. Consider yourself hugged as per my avatar (ok, that's only the earth but you get the picture ;)). Short story 1 written and will be sent off this weekend. It was inspired by something I wrote on this thread I think :).

    Good mood gone :rotfl:. Haven't sent story off yet, need to revise it. One letter sent to a mag though :D.

    Around £30 from ebay sales. Great. Just the odd 126k to go then :o.

    Olympic base camp needs to be moved tomorrow as cleaner is coming :eek:.

    My link to your diary disappeared so just had a quick catch up. I think we are both in the same place at the moment :rotfl:

    Is that YOU on the other sofa? :wave:. I was too polite to ask, I thought it was my turn for care in the community :D. Help me relocate the Olympic base camp upstairs will you? If you hang about we can regroup and watch the cycling later - do you want Torchy $%28KGrHqR,%21m%21E-rGnGg8LBP40dGsNVg%7E%7E60_35.JPGor Mr Flag united-kingdom-flag-waving-smile-animated.gif. to wave?

    LOL :rotfl:LOL :rotfl:

    I will take Torchy please. You are doing a marvellous 'care in the community' role, and due to your outstanding hospitality, you are released from further obligations. A bit like not having to do Jury duty too frequently :)

    We are definitely in the same mood this evening and I was just thinking of turning the iPad off, and then I read your post and really did laugh out loud, much to Mr Tilly's annoyance as he was dropping off to sleep :T
