    Morning Lands - hey up Beanie :) and thanks Greying I laid in til 8am :)

    Reply to all properly later on I hope that's Ok out the house soon for another cool day at womble HQ.

    Sometimes two jobs (well two ish) mangles ones brain - yesterday was a full on teaching cooking session, then admin/work and then teaching at 'tother place. Last class so it was alot longer than normal. But all good fun.

    Off to check banks and pack up me lunch. Back at t-time and NOTHING is getting me out tonight - although I might do a bit of sanding.

    :D

    Banks then a list

    M21 totally agree re lists - once moved I promise to have a 'week list'.

    Oh and in very exciting news I got £50 for my heater.

    :)

    Strimmer cleaned and ready to go on too.

    One very happy lady here.

    Seems the extra teaching etc has netted

    £394 so that's going straight to the card.

    £5 for wine money I didn't spend - well lets call it 6 today and pretend it was a nice chardonnay.

    I know this is a strange habit but having spent lots on wine before I try and keep an eye on any spends and pay anything I don't spend to my debts. I know I@m a little odd.

    And

    £50 for the heater its in cash so I can reallocate it but the actual value is towards the move and so off the card.

    Payment of £450 to the card made.

    I feel a bit eekish about this but that's my last DD of the month paid and I've still funds to land in the account.

    If its gone I won't miss it eh. And its from my 'second' job so that's what its for aside brainwashing folks about plants :)

    Does a wee dance - getting there.

    Im happy if I can clear the cards get rid of the interest and if I spend on them then pay off each month like wot martin taught me.

    Off to update the cc total.

    Ah, now all I've really got time to do is pack up lunch and skeddaddle.

    Just listed strimmer (battery one) I have three so perhaps another one might be shed this one is great but light and just a bit too light for me.

    Have a great day!

    Brilliant sneaky CC-attacking there Stripes - nice one! :T Yes, I think two strimmers is enough for anyone too - definitely see if you can get the light one gone - it's all money in the pot after all! :D

    And you're not a little odd at all - you're little, yes, but odd? I think not! :rotfl:

    Just in - waves - a bit scary just putting job money straight to card but then again it won't get paid off if I don't and the move money is on there.

    Strimmer has 3 potential buyers must see who bid first in the manner of fairness. Our local 'selling' marketplace on facebook is mental. Good mental but mental.

    Second strimmer might just see about selling too as if I'm honest I don't really need more than one. I just need to work out if its one for home or potentially one to use at home/work if I freelance when I go.

    Electric is fine for home
    Petrol would do home/work but I don't find them as easy to maneovre

    Just scoffed a very very early tea - don't tell.

    :) to odd comments and small coments.

    Starnac a second job requires the focus of stuff needing paid/done doesn't it bit like your one.

    EH -- small and odd suits me just fine.

    :) off to get tidied up put the fire on and plan a major 'floppage' tonight.

    (and maybe some sanding and some packing :))

    Just off phone with TRG and financial person.

    We've upped our deposit from 10-15% on the new place and reduced the interest rate by 1%

    YAY we'd talked about it all but think this is the best thing to do release a wee bit more money but reduce actual mortgage initially
