    Aquacard balance - 1509.01

    A small but perfectly formed £5.04 paid off. Nothing to report, but the tenant couldnt get to the bank yesterday and needs to give me the rent in cash....

    Could be worse, I suppose.

    OK - to meet my target I have to pay a minimum of £43.11 a day. I will round it up to £45 and crack on with it.

    Ive got child support due in - Ive a bit in the bank - the rent comes in - hopefully the backpayments will start (grr) If I do that monday to friday, and then on my payday I will pick up the slack. Should also be able to BT 100 of it to a cheaper card - starting tomorrow, 45 a day and I will kick Aquas !!!!.

    Oh me too Verbatim. £45 paid today. Hopefully the finances will allow this to continue. Aqua balance is at £1464.01. Going to collect the rent in cash later on, will pop it in a tin and use it to pay for coal and the bairns out of school clubs.

    Police video interview tomorrow for DD2, shes well stressed.

    Its done - Took three hours, and was very traumatic for her.

    Had a nice healing tea and some family time and she was ok.

    Other news, paid 122.46 off aqua today, had an unexpected refund.

    Probably wont be able to maintain the 45 a day I will just have to wing it til payday, but onwards and upwards!

    Balance of aqua is now at £1341.55!!! and only another £21 til I break 33k!
