    so ebay sales finished and made £69.80! :beer::j:T
    thats really good as it means the muddle is sorted :)

    so i will get my big ms payment on fri along with rent and can make a payment to mum :) will pay her all of it which will be £488 :D

    then i think i will be getting another £100 in payments by end of month so that will be paid off as well minus amounts needed for reimb jobs (have got at least £22 reimb booked for next week).

    i seem to have done a fair few jobs for co's that dont pay til the month after the job so will get extra next month :)

    ms looks v good this month, already £18 extra booked over target :T and thats pure fees not inc reim :)

    so today i have planted a corriander plant, 15 potato plants and about 18 strawberry plants. even better i paid 50p for corriander and got the others free :) as its due to rain everyday at least i dont need to remember to water :rotfl:

    so plans for rest of day-

    type up final ms from yest
    tidy downstairs
    put pot of soup in containers
    pack ebay items up
    put wash on
    eat dinner
    watch happy feet 2 :p
    bath and bed

    Oh dear, I'm lying on sofa eating broad bean dip and raw veg, washed down with a glass of wine. You're doing so much I feel guilty, you must take after your dad :rotfl:.

    Well done on ebay and good news on MS :T

    Excellent news on the over target of MS. and a nice big chunk paid off to your mum. Its going down pretty fast and you will have paid your mum off in no time.
