Tales from a country cottage
Comments
-
I have already left my cottage and am staying with friends and family until I can find somewhere to rent in the new city. I have cash coming in from various sources, so much so that I can't keep track of it. Here's a list:
- council tax rebate £90
- last expenses claim from work £70
- private work final invoice £200
- final wage £1350 (more than I expected, here's to getting tax refunds!)
- mystery shop £10
- I'm selling off some furniture and musical instruments that I won't need anymore, so hopefully a bit from that.

I'd forgotten how much I enjoy a good 'to do list'...here's another one of stuff that needs doing.
- pay outstanding oil bill - £300
- pay off electricity bill - £30
- trade in my car
- find a flat to live in
- send invoices and final reports for last 2 clients
- umm...that's it for now
