    had BG engineer out again 3rd time this week. He has torn my lino, blamed it on the fact that tiles underneath were broken and caught on the washing machine so ripped lino :mad: he fixed it with some carp. and then pulled washing machine out to cover it. to be honest I cant be bothered with the complaining and getting it replaced. let's hope hubby doesn't notice it for a long time. will try to win some new lino to replace it instead.

    and the engineer broke the knob on the washing machine so cant use it :rotfl: so he is coming back again on monday. didnt want him here this weekend too. hubby would be best displeased.

    if only his mate had fixed it properly on monday instead of being lazy..... cowboys, cowboys, the lot of them

    Oh goodness... Cover teaching this month meant I earned an extra £766.22 in overtime. I sold an old pet cage this week for £50 and gained £15.70 in Birchbox points. October total £831.92 :eek:

    My MBNA CapQuest accepted a full and final settlement at 70%, this month I tackle my two Barclaycards. Crazy!!

  • Well it seems to me that you're near enough CP ! and overtime IS specifically allowed in the rules, although I can readily see your reasoning in that it is not really "free money" - But I think you've done great ! x

    Thanks Procrastinater :o

    Roadkill = money you find on the street, generally... or it can mean that 2p that you found down the side of the sofa. Small change usually though some people find a fiver in the street! Some people declare it seperately. I dump mine in the spare change jar and include it in that total.
    Make £520 a year in 2020 so far (£0 cash £0 AGC)

    (2019,£481.69) (2018, no idea!) ( 2017 £673.20) (2016 £800.97) (2015 £791.42/$312)

    Penny challenge: 21/366 (66.70/671.61)
    NSD 7/150
  • Wow some really impressive amounts - well done :T

    £1.00 Roadkill to add.

    I won't add this to the total but happy to report that the "gods of the charity shops" are continuing to save me money. I've been planning to buy a second pedal bin (to separate rubbish from recycling) - was planning to spend around £20-25 but found a nearly new 30L Brabantial bin in the CS today for £3.50 (RRP £50+) . Apparently the person who donated it didn't like the sound of it when it closed - lucky for me :)

  • Not going to make target this month :-( - determined to make it to £5 a day next month!
    Make £10 per day in May £89.29/£310
  • Declaring at £157.24 which is about 50% of my target. Even though it's he first time in months I haven't hit my target I'm quite happy as most of the things I used to count have become my self-employed income.

    On that front - I managed to make only a little less than my previous income. Plus I was owed some holiday pay from my old job which turned out to be more than I was expecting. Earned that doing something I love so feeling happy about that too.
