    Does anyone feel like it's been a long week (even though it's a short one?!). Looking forward to it almost being the weekend again

    Yes, the week has lasted at least a month and I cannot wait for the weekend to come!

    I know I shouldn't be wishing August away, but we've been under house arrest this week and I'm bored to tears, can't believe we've only really had 3 days of it….

    How come you have been at home Wish? Sorry to hear you are not enjoying it

    :wave:

    I feel very confused by this month ... this week has been very odd and has dragged but the month as a whole seems to have flown by, yet I seem to have been waiting for ages for the end of the month spreadsheet shuffle to come round so I can get back on top for the new month. Very strange indeed. Will ponder on the 5 weekend theory!

    Enjoy your Friday BW. x

  • Hello,


    If you like Linwood Barclay, you would like Peter Robinson's DI Banks series, if you haven't already read all of them!

    Thanks for stopping by everyone :)

    No I haven't read any of Peter Robinson's books. I will add them to my ever growing list. Thanks

    I have read some Karin Slaughter. Particularly enjoyed Blindsighted. Parts of that really stuck with me. I think I've read a couple of books by Mark Billingham but cant recall what I thought of them!

    Not much to report today..just been running errands and getting chores done. Probably should have done more but the sofa kept calling me :o

    Good Morning :)

    Been updating my spreadsheets, etc ready for the new month tomorrow. Can't believe that it's the last day of August already - the time really is whizzing past! Does anyone else find it annoying that bank accounts don't update on Sundays? :cool: :rotfl:

    I won't update this every month here but as this was a 'milestone' one for me, I thought I would share where I finished up. Final balance £89,311.89 :D

    No major plans today. Just house jobs and watching the British round of Moto GP on tv

    Have a great day

    Always good getting into the next bracket, you will fly through the 80's. You could add your figures as a signature, that's always encouraging. You have reminded me I need to update my figures lately.

    September to December always seems to go so fast!
