2014 - keep crunching away

Hi DF


Well done on everything so far! I hope you don't mind - I have a quick (hopefully) question. I know you said you did badly on your SBs but I just wondered how you'd planned to earn £20? I've just started my DFW journey and one of the things I'm doing is SBs but finding it quite time consuming and don't feel like I'm earning much! Hope you don't mind me asking.

Hiya DF


Yeah not too bad thank you. I have been a bit spendy and need to get back into saving mode. I updated our kitchen by replacing doors and painting walls and have spent some money on me for a change.


I am using my swags for amazon vouchers now for xmas pressies - have £35 so far.


The girls have been in the last few nights and I expect may be in for good now at night. There is not much shelter or grass now at our livery yard and they are hungry at night.

Same here LAM - No more reduced livery fees for me now as they are both coming in for the winter from next week. Well done on swags - you're sticking in there. As for being spending - you TOTALLY deserve it!!!

Well great news guys, I've booked in for my first shift tomorrow night. I probably won't get any work as people will have been booked in on it for a while but I've done my hours until end Nov that I know I can do. Once I get a feel for it I might start dabbling with other hours. Excited!

Congratulations!! Fingers crossed they find you something quickly They do tend to try and find you a nice clear bit of audio for your first file and it probably won't be more than 20-30 minutes.

Thank Caz I'm really feeling great about it all.

Morning to another day. Thursday already, meaning it's pay day for me tomorrow. I've had a few unplanned payments for school trips. I need to put a pot out that we can add a few pound to every now and again. An old fashioned money jam jar springs to mind. So there's £40 odd pound gone out that I didn't expect.

I had a lovely night last night, jumped in the big clear again and got another rosette It was still untidy but it was fabulous at the same time. Always have huge smiles on my face. I can't wait until I have them at home.

Work wise a normal day today, whatever that is There's a lot going on and people are literally buzzing around. I've got plenty to be getting on with so just getting my head down.

I'm hoping to get some transcription work tonight and will work it into my normal working night. It will take me longer than normal of course but I want to get the first one done and dusted so I know how it feels.

I must phone HMRC and see how I register it as SE on top of my current work. I will try and do that this morning as it's the most important part after all!

I've had an email to say the xmas gift I ordered is on the way and I'll order some more tomorrow. I need to plan out what else there is to get. DH is getting a guitar so that's him sorted. I know what I'm getting the kids and I think it's just family now which I have a few ideas for.

We're doing (or I!) Christmas lunch this year so I will plan that too, at some point....

I'm stuggling to get focussed today, I'm getting through work but I'm thinking about when I will be DF and how soon this could be! I know how it stands today but ......

Accounts prepped for pay day tomorrow. I overpaid CCV by £94.51 this month which isn't bad considering I have nothing "spare" but didn't meet my target. Next month I'd like to pay £200 total to CCV which is apx £113 overpayment. The loan is the usual ~ £700. So I shall aim for £113 overpayment using surveys and the new job, plus ebay.
