Quick eBay update - 21 items sold for a profit of £61.40, plus we should make a few pence here and there on postage. Naturally everything that didn't sell has been relisted for next Sunday (actually got 2 bids over night). So big trip to post office today!
Nothing else money wise going on. 2 paydays this week which triggers the money shuffles. I do have my usual TT pot that has built up but I've not OP'd it just yet, as I'm waiting to see how the month works out with SMP in case we need it. I've also held back a £100 utilities refund just in case we need it. Thankfully this is the last month of SMP, so come September it'll be all systems go for Christmas finances...........MFW: Was: £136,000.......Now: £47,736.58......0 -
23p TT this morning. 2 days to pay day, 3 days to money shuffle, 3 days to paying out day, 8 days to accounts posting...!

Alex it wasn't even proper sleeping out in a tent, given the air mattress, duvets and movie on the iPad!
Payday at last! 61p TT and money shuffles at the ready.
The dreaded lurgy has struck with baby and my good self (I never get it either). Couldn't be a worse day to have it when I'm chairing a meeting with several senior managers (all on considerably more money than me) including CEO!MFW: Was: £136,000.......Now: £47,736.58......0
