Playing with calculator finished. Seems I'm still cheaper :money:(atm) to stay on the path I took

So, no deals for me - yet. Just head down and work my wee socks off :rotfl:

You can totally do it AFK- head down and eyes on the prize

Thanks KK - your encouragement means a lot. Still doing my zizzi's but not making much headway.

Had a few snow flurries/showers today, last 2 leaving everything white (Hair will match soon, if I don't get the bottle out :rotfl:)

Been working my wee socks off today, pulling/digging out "items" for the bay. After almost a month off - time to get back to the grind.

Good News - 2 items sold -
Not so Good - Back to work in the morning after 9 days off

2 bits of mail received in post today, 1 was a cheque from shares I have - Why do I keep forgetting about them ?? !! ?? and the other -
My annual mortgage statement pages and pages of it and that was 6 months of no overpayments :rotfl:hopefully only one more statement before my last

Cheque will be banked then moved over for o/p, taking me into the 11's - very tempted to take it into 4 figures then build up my savings again, very tempted - watch this space

Was told today about travel pass that I can apply for through work, buses, underground, trains and boats . . . will do the sums once again, great value and you take it out for 2 years, which falls in with my plans.

Meanwhile need some shopping as have managed to stretch the budget fantastically well (?) only 5 days to payday, but already feel skint - I have a huge bill end of March :eek: and thinking of a holiday as well - not sure if that will take off though, we'll see.

Just nice to be off, but would be great for somewhere warmer than here, usually a last minute decision on the location, had some fantastic luxury holidays and bargains that way and forgot to mention that I may have someone to work my easter in return for me working the May or Sept holiday.

Amazed at the 6 parcels to post this morning. Would it be greedy to say I would like to see that every day, although would still take an age to clear my [STRIKE]clutter[/STRIKE] treasures:)

I'm equally astounded at 2 of ours that have sold. Envious of your 6 tough!! Our clutter too is immense at the minute. All 3 kikds seems ti have grown a=out of an age group of clothes between Christmas and half term!

Yesterday out all day, first of all 7 parcels posted (1 bought just as I was leaving for PO)

Made £1.04 on roadkill yesterday (3 separate occasions):)
Treated myself to Easter Egg(s) :EasterBun since I haven't seen my favourite ones (Orange smartie ones with mini orange smartie eggs) anywhere else, I seized the moment

Usual chores to be done today, 1st load of washing done, 2nd ready to go in, then some ironing to get on with, and bathroom blind needs adjusting.

Made an o/p of £157.96 being my sub account balance, although 2 totals still don't add up :think:

Shopping done today and I decided to stock up on a few items, and put my freezer to even more good use. Will try and keep food spending to a minimum next month.

Treated myself (I am good to myself) to 2 coconut ice creams - I love coconut, which I will keep until having a lovely extra special meal.

Total spends £45 - roll on payday.

Good news - nephew has just got another dog (puppy) (we lost the 1st dog a year ago this month) - what fun watching her antics.

Sad news - heard today there will be a family gathering as an elderly family member is no longer here.
