  • Yipee !!! A whole 4 days off work :) , only to work :( on another project !!!

    Taking stock, and re-grouping my energy for the next 3+ months. Going to work my wee socks off,
    in the hope of managing the impossible - time will tell.

    SJ - have my finger "hoovering" again :p but this time only a small amount, will make a decision possibly over the weekend :o

    Accounts, well and truly need updated, I have not been keeping note, just throwing an o/p here and there when the mood takes :o another job to work on - if I get the time.

    2 weeks since payday and 2 weeks till another, glad its a 4 week(er) as that last week of last month
    was one of the worst - ever.

    Things must be looking up as I actually managed to get inbetween the festive and New Year off :j
    might have had something to do with my mentioning the chaos last year - "I was robbed" :D

    Another job on the list is to get a new fix for my mum - her utilities have now doubled :eek: since the fix ended :(

    I need to learn to swim - fast.

  • Hello AFK! 4 days off! Lucky duck! Sounds like you have loads to do.

    Great news about Christmas hols. Looking forward to seeing updated numbers. Are you working on your sideline whilst off? Don't forget meerkat if searching for a new fix. I have quite recently done mine as was about to see my DD almost double. Now down to two pound a month more than my last fix, and I think that will still leave me in credit so all good.

    Hope you find some time to rest over your break

  • At Last . . . accounts done (more or less) but I do have an excuse for waiting to reveal the figures.

    I [STRIKE]stole[/STRIKE], ooops, I mean "borrowed" cash I had lying for my 0% CC and thought it only right to reveal the figures once I had "paid back" the borrowing. Now done and figures reveal

    [FONT=&quot]August o/p £606.90[/FONT]

    [FONT=&quot]September o/p £1935.55 [/FONT][FONT=&quot](Don't ask)[/FONT]

    [FONT=&quot]Oct o/p 226.21[/FONT][FONT=&quot] - so far[/FONT]
    [FONT=&quot]
    [/FONT]
    [FONT=&quot]Also received £9 from P/c and £60 odds from shares I have [/FONT]:) (not yet o/p)

    Still keeping to my mantra of having 00.00 at the end of my mortgage :j and its working exceptionally well for me.


    Interest charged this month was about £11 ;)
    Let's see what happens.

    Thanks Bexster. :)

    Still a way to go, though. :( wishing I was paid same amount in my salary every week instead of every month :rotfl: (Just till Christmas) that would help a lot :j Oh, the very thought . . . :D

    Side line helping although have plans (atm) is to finish it in around 6 months time, having said that (I know it will be a good while longer to completely finish it off) when it will be decision time for some kind of major change. :eek:

    Like to keep you guessing :rotfl:
    plus the fact I have learnt never to mention much, for, if I do - will they ever materialise :think:

    I have always been good at keeping Christmas spending reasonable.

    What's happening with you? found that missing piece of the puzzle, yet? or is it a work-in-progress? ;)

    Just checked my mortgage account and it's not yet showing my overpayments I made on the 3rd :mad:
    really wanted to see my balance as I think I made a schoolgirl error when o/p and not allocating it to the account that has interest added :( :doh: :wall:

    I need to pay attention more.

    Hello

    I think missing piece is almost found! Watch this space......

    Work is going well. I have enough in my account now to pay bills until Jan 1st so that's a nice bit of breathing space. Have picked up some great work. Time is being used on missing piece search, but all for the greater good in the end I hope.


    Have a great weekend xx

    Right, just because I'm cryptic, doesn't mean you have to be :p

    but it's good fun. Good to hear you are still picking up work
    and that bank balance is giving you a bit of breathing space.

    Enjoy your "missing piece" tell them I was asking after them ;), and have a great weekend too :rotfl: :D

    Lol! I think if you are being cryptic, it's only fair!! :p;):p

    I will tell him. Thank you. I'm delighted with how things are going currently. Don't want to say to much on any front for fear of jinxing!

    Have a lovely Sunday!
