    Good news on the MOT- always a bit of a hold your breath day when cars go in for a check! It must be a relief to have it pass.

    Yes it was a relief, and also a last minute book in so I didn't have a lot of time to worry about it thankfully.

    £3.97 rounded down acc today, and a small amazon sale so that will be posted tomorrow

    I've been continuing with the clear out and listing a bit more on FB. It'll all go to the car boot sale if not sold in the spring. £2 in yesterday from a FB sale and potentially if both turn up another £4.50 today, but one prob wont show up.

    I'm potentially going to be taking on extra hours at work which may mean a small increase in hourly rate along with the extra in the pay packet at the end of each month. This will really help, and I've agreed to trial it on a temporary basis to see how we get one.

    I've been working really hard at work so should see some extra money at the end of each month for the next few months at least. First sofa payment due out tomorrow.

    I actually can't remember the last time I used my debit card so hopefully when I check my bank account tomorrow it should look OK'ish

    £7.50 from a fb sale today and £1 from monday.It'll be time for another clearout at the weekend.
