  • I'm going to do the same - already downloaded :D Well done Caz.

    Glad you're not out, peaks and troughs though - it will all come good in the end :)

  • Well, if the pair of you stop commenting afterwards, I shall know that I've shocked you into silence ;):p:D I didn't find the contract, but did manage to find a copy of their standard contract from that period online. I was correct, it was all rights for five years, so my first story is mine again and the one in Stocking Fillers probably is as well, though because I don't have the actual date, I'm not going to do anything with it until I'm certain. Currently doing an extended remix of the first one ;)

    A couple of short bits of dictation for a client this afternoon, some proofreading this morning and a few orders to send out, it's been a pretty quiet day really. Mr Minx got home from work earlier than normal with an enormous bunch of flowers for me :):) I did ask him what he'd done :rotfl: but apparently it was just because the florist's shop is opposite the physio and he hadn't bought me any for a while. He can stay ;)
  • That's lovely of Mr Minx - unexpected flowers always the best. Chuckling at your extended remix of your festive story - no end to your talents.
  • It is Friday so I am sat with my cup of tea, about to eat my 'brought in lunch', awaiting scores on the doors. Tap, tap, tap......:p

  • Ooops, sorry! Had a pile of proofreading with a midday deadline and then 27 orders to send out. To make up for them being late, you can have monthly ones as well :D Weekly first:

    Business
    Overdraft: -£-6,170.00 / -£6,000.00 +£170.00

    Business total: -£-6,170.00 / -£6,000.00 +£170.00

    Personal
    Halifax card: -£5,310.00 / -£5,310.00 no change

    Personal total: -£5,310.00 / -£5,310.00 no change

    Grand total:11,480.00 / -£11,310.00 +£170.00

    I should really only have paid off £150 from the overdraft this week, but that £6,000 figure was looking so enticing that I absolutely had to allocate the extra £20 :oNow for some monthly ones:

    Business
    Overdraft: -£-6,620
    .00 / -£6,000.00 +£620.00

    Business total: -£6,620.00 / -£6,000.00 +£620.00

    Personal
    Halifax card: -£5,370.00 / -£5,310.00 +£60.00

    Personal total: -£5,370.00 / -£5,310.00 +£60.00

    Grand total: -£11,990.00 / £11,310.00 +£680.00


    Nearly £1,000 less paid off than last month, but a) it's been an expensive month and b) I had to replace the money I 'borrowed' from the tax savings pot to clear off the Nationwide card without paying any interest last month.

    However, back in the mists of time, on post 1360 in this mammoth thread, I said:
    By the end of 2014, my Grand Total figure for scores on the doors will be under £12,000 after paying at least £3,000 off my personal cards and at least £3,000 off the business overdraft.

    and I've now done it :D

    Great stuff, well done :D. I was out and about yesterday, didn't feel like Friday without reading them :rotfl:.
    A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort

    How on earth are you going to manage when I'm debt-free??? :p:p:rotfl::rotfl: I suppose I still have the mortgage to go, so scores on the doors can continue ;)
