            DNMS & NTBY - Just caught up on yesterday's thread, unfortunately the cheque cashed yesterday is nowhere near what they owe us! £73.50 instead of about £265...but it's better than nothing for now. Once it's definitely in my account I'll be fighting for the rest, just want to wait to make sure she doesn't cancel the cheque before it's gone in!:idea:Debt at July 2012: £12,862.57 :eek:

 Today:
 - bannanas from home for brekkie, lunch provided by work and pasta pesto for tea
 - plow through work to finish off the week
 - bike everywhere I need to go
 - gym after work
 - withdraw money and pay dog walker
 - buy pesto at supermarket but get veg at cheaper roadside shack

            Afternoon all.
 So far ive sorted out my craft drawers to see what i can use when making Xmas presents (aiming for 90% homemade this year)
 Made £31 on music magpie, just got to get the parcel sent later today.
 Counted out my loose change and got a further £3 :T
 Listed 7 DVD/Games on Ebay 99p this afternoon and took loads of pictures for more things to get listed later.
 Sorted a bag of clothes for charity that are past selling. Need to drop these off.
 Husband will be doing a few hours overtime tonight.
 Wrote a strongly worded email to a company i bought something from in December thats turned out to be faulty. Quoted the 'unfit for purpose' and it was misrespresented, so ive requested a full refund. Will be £15-£20 ill get back if they honour it, if not i will take it higher. Fingers crossed there.
 Bought something i needed for the baby today. Cost me £40 for it but everywhere wants £60/70 for it and it was a necessity to have by babys arrival in 12 weeks so pleased with the saving.
 Got a few maternity clothes i can live without listed on 2 parenting sites. No interest yet but ive checked on them today and bumped the sale threads up.
