Ooh how exciting Happy, I'm sending positive vibes. When will you be testing?"Good financial planning is about not spending money on things that add no value to your life in order to have more money for the things that do". Eoin McGee0

Hey everyone
Well I managed to get some more listed at the weekend, so fingers crossed for some sales. I did sell a book today so that's good.
I also redeemed £15 from a survey site that I'd forgotten about - I'd been doing the surveys but never thought about checking the balance. Waiting for that to come through.
Not long left at work now. Getting a bit annoyed with people as they keep asking me to explain stuff when I'm trying to get things finished off. I've already said that I will spend the last couple of days doing handover with everything, and there will be less to handover if they just let me get on and finish things!
I think I'm just tired and grumpy at the moment"Good financial planning is about not spending money on things that add no value to your life in order to have more money for the things that do". Eoin McGee0 -

Not long to go for you now then either!
I'm still worried about the finances too, and will be going back after about 6 months, but will do my best to make it work.

Pup's doing well thanks, she's got much better recently thankfully. Still needs a lot of training, but it doesn't seem so insurmountable nowjwil dont work too long, get some rest and put those feet up before baby arrives
It's my last few days now Newleaf, so I'm looking forward to Friday. I'm not sure I'll be overly taking it easy - I don't think it will benefit much in the long run, but I won't be doing too much that's for sure."Good financial planning is about not spending money on things that add no value to your life in order to have more money for the things that do".
