  • Actually really nice :) The boys had their rugs off yesterday - the first thing Merlin did was shoot out of the hardstanding area (ignoring his hay!) and go to his favourite muddy rolling spot, naturally :rotfl: I did wonder about putting them on again last night, but they were warm and happy when I fed them at five, so they stayed naked. Fingers crossed that's it for rugs until the fly sheets come out, as it's another sunny, wind-free day. Tomorrow they're going to come up into the top two fields for the day, so Robbie the farrier doesn't have to negotiate the swamp around the hardstanding - whether I'll get them back down the hill again is a different story, I suspect it may involve lots of waving of feed skips!
  • Bit of proofreading done, bit of typing done, bit of emailing done, about £25 earned, went for a run this afternoon, did some laundry - feeling like I'm not making much progress at the moment.
  • Sounds like plenty going on tho Caz. Peaks and troughs x

  • Amazing how much more work you get done in a day when you ban yourself from looking at Facebook :o:o:o:o:o Didn't even use Cold Turkey either, all self-control!

    Robbie didn't turn up and his mobile was going to answerphone - hope he's okay, as I've just seen in the local paper that there was a two-car crash in his village yesterday. Hopefully it's just a case of my appointment time not making it from text message to diary and I'll get a 'WHOOOPS, sorry!' text tomorrow. The boys have had a lovely day in the top two fields and since the weather's so nice, I've left them up - the gate is open to the lower fields if they want the shelters, which have hay in them.

    So, what have I been up to today? Quite a bit of proofreading, packed and posted orders, about 8 minutes of work for Mr RPC replying to emails and sorting out invoices, updated the stock spreadsheet and brought the business accounts up to date. My to-do list is now completely caught up with :T:T

  • It is indeed Friday and I'm swamped with work, but am flying in to do some scores!

    Business
    Overdraft: -£-5,180.00 / -£5,090.00 +£90.00

    Business total: -£-5,180.00 / -£5,090.00 +£90.00

    Personal
    Halifax card: -£5,190.00 / -£5,130.00 +£60.00

    Personal total: -£5,190.00 / -£5,130.00 +£60.00

    Grand total:10,370.00 / -£10,220.00 +£150.00

    Tantalisingly close to half way there on the overdraft now! I've GOT to get it paid off by May because I don't want to pay another £150 renewal charge, but I'm already starting to allocate money to March's business expenses in YNAB, so I'm nearly at the start of the big push.

    0% card was £1126.91 / Now £1502.37

    AFD March 2/15 NSD March 2/11 :T

    Almost below 5k in each of them as well :T. I hope we hit the milestones in 3 consecutive weeks :beer:.
    A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort

    Unlikely, unless I cheat, with the Halifax card currently being paid off at £60 a month ;) Overdraft under £5k is just about possible if I have a good week next week.

    Lots of proofreading today - £27.50-worth - and a bit of work for Mr RPC who may well send more through this evening.
