    :eek: Shocking :eek:. Self, self, self. No social responsibility. Another legacy of the Thatcher Years :rotfl:.
    A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort

    When I was a kid, I remember reading about a man who divided his council tax into 260 equal bits (no of working days in a year) and went into the council offices EVERY DAY to pay that day's charge in mixed coin. Cost the council a fortune in admin.:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    Morning Tilly,

    Hope you have a great day today.
    I'm running my own group tonight so will probably get a few £2 coins in my money tin. That'll help my cause!

    Hope today moves you forward too!

    Evening,

    I'll be glad when it's Thursday as it's closer to Friday :rotfl:

    Another PC £3 on its way :T

    Dinner was salmon with ginger, lemon grass and a little chilli served with a salad with a chinesey salad dressing :)

    Best wishes Tilly x

    Morning

    I set a regular OP for the £13 tax benefit last night. Will go out the same day as the others.

    No OP news today although someone is interested in a room. Who knows, maybe this could be the one :o

    I need to sort out washing and ironing tonight, but we will be off for a family walk first - first night all week when we are together all night, (WHOOPS I FORGOT I WAS OUT WITH FRIENDS TONIGHT - PLUS ITS POURING WITH RAIN) so will make sure we get out in the fresh air with the hounds.

    Having done so many things to reduce our spends, I need to be more creative about making some money now. OP is consistent but as payout is £40 will take a while - Mr T is just over £15, I'm just over £10.

    Will fix another date for the mythical car boot - clearing the garage will be quite motivating. My loo roll mountain has had to be topped up and is already decreasing. Not sure what that says about our cooking :rotfl:

    I found more of DSs toys in a spare wardrobe the other day so need to sell or give away. We did sort some of his clothes recently and that made some space in his wardrobe. I would say half the stuff is too small, but he doesn't want to get rid of them all.

    Have a great Thursday and I'm so looking forward to Friday. We're off out tonight :)

    Drum roll ..........

    Due to tax changes I'm £13 better off - waiting for Mr Ts to understand if we benefit there as well. Although we gain at the bottom, we lose at the top but at least overall we've gained :T

    Morning Tilly

    I have just seen my payslip for this month and I will be £24 better off every month :j:j No sweeties for me, this is going straight into the pot!

    Have a great day!

    Being self employed, I have to wait until my accounts are done before I see any tax benefits.:mad:

    Maybe I should start them!!!:rotfl:
