    I have decided against the amazon trade in for my books, I hadn't realised you get paid in gift cards. It would be great but I want the money to put in my ISA so I think I will need to do it as seller instead. I guess the fact they want me to trade in my books might mean there is a market for them so I will give it a go when I get home from my travels.

    I am not going to the gym today as my legs feel very heavy and I am quite injury prone so I am going to stay away so I don't undo all my hard work in one day.

    HAHA - I saw coin dozer mentioned a while back, might have been Natty - long story short, I'm now on level 52.

    Level 7 so not as far but it is annoying waiting for more coins and I haven't worked out what the fairground stuff is yet.

    In the meantime and while letting coins build up while I was away I have dropped some stuff off at work and got some mince for dinner. I think we will be having a weird concoction to use stuff up.

    I thought I had sold all my old mobiles last year but have just found one and apparently I can get £8 for it, another thing to sort out when I get back. I should start keeping a list.

    Mr AJM is due back in about an hour and isn't feeling very well, he has had an awful headache for over 24 hours now so has cancelled his teaching this evening. I think he has more money than he realises from teaching so I am tempted to count it up before he gets back and let him know how much he has got.

    Inspired by Rosie Tiger's post on MFiT I thought I would get a rough idea of what we have in savings compared to our mortgage total, I think we have nearly a third of our mortgage in savings :D This makes me feel better because even though I know we are working towards our savings at the mo, it still helps towards the end target.

    It might be paid but I don't think I will volunteer for this residential course again, I would rather have the weekend at home.

    I may have been too quick to judge as it wasn't too bad in the end, I think the kids were too tired for anything productive that night. Home now, no idea how much we will be paid and when but I am confident that youth music is very much alive :T :D :j

    We are shattered and still need to pack for Paris so that is the next job, we will be on our way to the airport in 11-12 hours time :(

    Just booked a hotel for a conducting course I am doing next month, it will be hard work and I have a lot of studying to do :eek:

    In better news, we managed an OP of £330 for March so I have updated our current totals in my signature.

    Next time I am back on I hope to be ready for Paris and an early bed!

    I have packed for Paris and have started laying out for my work trip on Saturday. I am a disgrace to the female race though, we are only taking a backpack each for the 3 night trip and I have hardly anything in mine. I wish it was so easy for my work trip, I am in a suit for 8 days in a row!
