Caz counts it down

Another full day of proofreading and I got assigned lots of nice short files, so it's been quite a lucrative day. I had an email from a customer who has some stuff on order with me (on its way from the supplier) asking if she could pay in advance so I could send it straight out (yes, of course!) and the postman brought me a cheque from the loss adjusters for the kitchen roof, so that's going straight back into the offset account (which is where I had to 'borrow' the money to pay the roofer from when it turned out his invoice wasn't 30 day terms).

Yesterday was so busy that it wasn't until I logged on just now that I realised I hadn't updated yesterday! Today's been similar, lots of proofreading, not so many orders, but my stock delivery arrived and I didn't get time to book it all on, though the stuff that's been ordered has been checked in, invoiced and paid for, so it can go out tomorrow.

I'm only booked onto one proofreading shift between now and next Thursday (Sunday night), so I've got a few clear days to get the bead shop sorted out before the Christmas rush starts.

Feels a bit weird not to be plugging straight into my headphones as soon as I sit down at the computer, but at least it means I get my scores on the doors in early today!

It's a quadruple whammy today - total debt into the £15,xxxs, personal debt into the £7,xxxs, amount paid off into the £11,xxxs and percentage paid off into the 4xs - happy birthday to me! (It actually is today!) :D:D

I originally said I wanted to pay this off by the time I was 40. I've been doing some back of an envelope calculations this morning and as long as nothing goes disastrously wrong, I am in with a fighting chance of clearing the whole £15,965 in the next 365 days.

A very nice letter from my accountant yesterday telling me that I'd overpaid on account for this tax year and I'm due a refund of £817 That'll be a nice big chunk off the Nationwide card when it comes through!

Hectic day yesterday. My mother in law is in hospital, so along with the normal weekly shopping, we had to have a treasure hunt around her house for everything she told us she wanted and then take it through to Wick for her. The coast road was closed due to an accident coming home, so we had to double back and take the Shebster road instead, adding half an hour to the journey, and then I had an hour and a half to feed the horses, walk the dog, have a shower and get ready to go back out for a friend's wedding dance. We just about made it and had a great night out - even managed not to drink too much money! We both put £40 in Mr Minx's sporran and said we'd split what was left at the end of the night 50-50, I have £27 back which really isn't bad for a Highland wedding!!

Probably won't be around tomorrow, as I have to drive my mother in law to Inverness - they want to operate on Tuesday (they think she has a gallstone stuck in her pancreas) and although they were trying to arrange an ambulance to take her down, it'll be far more comfortable for her to go down in the car, as we can have lunch somewhere and she can have a loo stop whenever she wants.
