    no physical cash landing in bank accounts at the moment BUT I have worked a lot of overtime this weekend which will reflect in Febs pay packet. I may have this weekend off and then next week its back to the drawing board.


    I know I have ebay stuff to sell just need to get on with listing it. I have my expenses claim form to submit too which is minimal but every little helps.


    2 x 20ps were found in washing machine - OH claims they were his (But then said he was saving them for me - aaahhh) so I now have another £5 ready to bank :)


    Any money found in my washing machine is classed as my payment for doing all the washing! :rotfl:

    I know how you feel about being in credit, I was in credit with gas by £200, took three quarterly bills to get to the point I needed to pay again so that money went elsewhere.
    Wish my washing machine gave me money.

    Hi LAM, doing really well, as per usual! Sorry to hear you are so tired, OT is so tempting, I'm exactly the same, can never say no to it. That loan will soon be gone at this rate.

    How is your poorly horsie? Any better yet?

    Any money found lying around the house in washing machines, tumble dryers, floor or surfaces that are not for putting things on is pots money in this house. Dgd2 knows this rule and as a result even hands me toy money that she finds on the floor. Dgd1 however claims it for her money box( in my house, saved for holidays)

    I wish my washing machine gave me more! My next gas bill is 7 Feb so going to see what the end result is then and then make a fuss if need be. I really would rather have the money in my bank than in theirs lol :)

    Ah that is so sweet. Talking of toy money I remember when DS1 was about 7 or 8 and the school kept asking for money for this and that and he overheard me saying I just didn't have the money and he piped up 'don't worry mummy just write a cheque!' LOL :)

    After this week there wont be much overtime so needs must and all that :)


    Horsie is no better no worse and I am reluctant to keep putting antibiotics into her so just giving painkillers and hot towelling press it every day. She seems ok but the one side has just not returned to normal size. I am back on 4 days next week so on my day off if no better by then may need to get vet out (I knew that OT would be good for something :( )

    I think I may pop out to bank and to shops and try not spend too much. Need some bread and milk and cereal - DS2 has been home over the weekend and that's all he eats!
