The site's a bit mad at the moment, isn't it, Tilly? Has been for a couple of days for me, but at least this morning I could find the rolling laughter smiley :j2023: the year I get to buy a car0 -
Having an indulgent lunch on a second date, so need to get into town early to put money in the bank to pay for it!
But just reading your diary in the mornings is making me gather all my stuff to do my personal and then business finances so that I can go spend a long weekend with post-stoke mum and know that I can invoice and have my expenses all worked out for payday when I get back.
And I will never forget your advice when I was so stressed in between nightmare job and leaving to start on my own!

Oh, ding dong, tell us more.
A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effortMortgage Balance = £0

Evening, I see there's more 'ding ding' activity on my diary again :rotfl::rotfl:
Hurdler, do they have debt, do they follow 'need not want' mantra, do they menu plan? Once we've got to the bottom of that we can think about third dates :rotfl::rotfl: Hope your mum is making progress.

Evening,
What a productive day
Gift aid donation to church
Six bookings made for theatre trips for me and Mr T - buy 6 pay for 5. This will have used up 3 month's entertainment budget. I will have to top this up somehow
Card written to friend, just need to post
Two long conversations with a relative and a chum abroad
Loads of work
On line access to an account reinstated
Doesn't seem much written down but fitting it all in, between calls and being in the office was a challenge :eek:
All in all a positive day and I'm looking forward to Mr T coming home tomorrow night.

Great use of the entertainment budget.
I keep thinking about becoming a 'friend' of the theatre we go to in Canterbury. You have to pay for this, but then you get money off bookings. I'll have to try and work out how many visits to theatre are request to make it cost effectiveEarly retired - 18th December 2014
