Email from quidco telling me I've been paid £2.60 from check ins, and should be getting payment from one of the mystery shopping companies tomorrow too which will relieve some of the financial pressure as I have about £15 left in the spending account this month - which isnt too bad as I've not transferred anything in to it yet but was going to have to make a transfer to cover the credit card payments.It’s not worth doing something unless someone, somewhere, would much rather you weren’t doing it.

Couple more mystery shopping companies have paid so I feel comparatively wealthy, lol.
Had a letter from the tv licencing folks, attatched is a cheque for £34 - which is more than the £20 something the ex was whining about me owing him, unfortunately the cheque is in his name so I need to go to the bank we had the joint account with to see if I can get it paid in as I don't have his current address and I want to know the money is in the bank and have a reciept for it for when he next starts whining at me.It’s not worth doing something unless someone, somewhere, would much rather you weren’t doing it.

Money in to paypal from the survey company I redeemed earlier in the month, along with another £4 from the foresty survey people. So have that on its way in to my bank account.
Need to call virgin to see if I can talk them in to coming to reinstall my tv/phone/internet any earlier than the date they've given me so far - I seem to remember when I was first getting my contract set up they managed to find me a slot almost 2 weeks ahead of the original one in this case I only want it pulling forward a few days to minimise the time I'll be without internet access - not so concerned about a lack of tv and even less bothered about not having the phone line!It’s not worth doing something unless someone, somewhere, would much rather you weren’t doing it.

Money sent to the L.A, and the paperwork just needs signing and dropping off this afternoon.
Sold a book online so am about to unpack the envelopes so I can get it posted while I'm in town dropping off the paperwork and paying some more bags of change in to the bank.It’s not worth doing something unless someone, somewhere, would much rather you weren’t doing it.

Virgin installation rescheduled for Tuesday morning so I'll only be without internet from Sunday which isnt too much of a drama as Sunday is planned as a day of unpacking in the new place and Monday am back at work.It’s not worth doing something unless someone, somewhere, would much rather you weren’t doing it.

Moving done.....everything I wanted is in the flat albeit in boxes all over the bloomin place, with the exception of the sofa which being high backed we couldnt manouver through the living room door, so am currently looking for sofas with smaller dimensions.It’s not worth doing something unless someone, somewhere, would much rather you weren’t doing it.

Tempting...but I've ordered one this afternoon - virtually the same as the old one but not quite as high backed, so hopefully it'll fit, decided to get it on finance (0% and for 2 years) rather than on the credit card but checked with the sales man and I can make extra payments to the finance company if I want to get it paid off sooner.It’s not worth doing something unless someone, somewhere, would much rather you weren’t doing it.

You know, oop north, we invented this thing called "the tape measure". It ensures things will fit.
That, and a little bit of oil...
