    I'm sneaking in a quick MSE fix while my colleague has lunch. I wonder if this means I'm hooked on moneysaving now? Counting the days till payday, I can't wait to get cracking on those bills :j

    Don't really want to be here today, but weekends mean overtime so hey-ho I'll just have to put up with it :D

    A lady who bought three of my E*ay items called in this morning and paid cash for those, so I'm £15 better off than I was at breakfast time :T

    I'll put £10 worth of diesel in the car and stick £5 in the Christmas pot.

    I'd better go and find something to do x

    Thats another day done :j

    Finished the book-keeping and worked out my bill. Its not a huge amount of money, but I haven't billed him since June so it'll be £150 towards Christmas.

    I've relisted all my unsold items on both my E*ay accounts. I had to open a new account when I split up, so when I'm selling stuff for the boys I use the old one. I don't want the ex knowing my business. Complicated, I know :o

    I'm going to update my signature now. The last bill came in yesterday and was quite a bit more than I was expecting. At least now I have a total which can only go down hopefully :D:

    De lurking to wish you well. Knowing the size of the problem, whilst pretty scary, is a massive step. Good luck, Tilly
