Hello again,

Awoken twice by the flippin' phone. Sigh.

Debt-Free Nillionaire Month 6:

* New fridge has arrived. We had the money to get it last July then I was unemployed so we had to save again and now we have it...without running up a debt. We only had a mini one and now we have one as tall as me (which isn't very tall as I'm an elf) which means we can buy more in bulk at reduced prices.

* RM Surveys rewarded me with three books of stamps today which I'll eBay. Sold. happy days.

Have a good day everyone.

Evening all. Thank you so much for kind words, it really does help :TGeneral feeling is still like I want to curl in to a ball and hibernate but must less on the edge than I was earlier. Done my list too. Only thing that's awol is a £75 gift card:mad: even DH can't find it. Only blessing is its not activated so in theory I could get another one. Downside is that it's DM and she should be using it towards her Christmas shopping tomorrow oh well, I've decided there are bigger issues and will let this one pass me by for now.

Just going to finish my hot chocolate and then off to bed. Night all

A very late check in. Just wanted to say hope everyone is feeling better soon.

Maria - hope you enjoy your family visit.

Jono - hope your little one will let you get some sleep!

Just watching the amazing Tom Jones on children in need. His voice is simply wonderful. But it's the stories of course that get you. I hope that the children and families featured will get the facilities they need through all the funds raised. You cannot help but feel blessed compared to those featured.

Night all.

Bob

For those of you feeling depressed today: Nothing bad lasts forever, except the Inland Revenue, they're eternal. Whatever bad feelings you have now will pass.

Sorry to hear that so many people are feeling down for various reasons

Hope you all feel better tomorrow.

Late post from me - don't seem to have got round to it before

Today's small things:
Bit of shopping at the market, just cheese, potatoes and bananas
All meals at home, finished off chilli from freezer for dinner tonight
Walked dog (free exercise) and fed chickens (cheap eggs - 2 today )
Some surveys for onepoll
Did some work at my sales unit as a large (in size) item had sold and I needed to rejig the space.

OH did the hoovering while I was busy with that
Made a start on the other cleaning, dusting etc. Lots more to do tomorrow, but this provides a good opportunity to track down more Mins items
Speaking of which, today's haul was:
#45, The rest of a free sample of dog toothpaste which was oozing out of the little plastic bag thing it was in - poultry flavour, if anyone wants to know - yuck, binned it
#46, The working innards of a doll that baby GD plays with. I took it out of the doll as it made a really scary 'mama' sound with a deep voice, which frightened the baby. Binned - why did I still have it?
#47, 48, 2 old mobile phones packed up and ready to post off to envirophone tomorrow
#49, A carrier bag of various bumf that came with OH's new phone. I filed the receipt and other important paperwork, and recycled the rest (and the carrier bag, which was a paper one)
#50, A plastic cover thing off a pushchair that no longer exists
#51, 52, 53, 3 manky spider plants from the bathroom - composted
#54, A part pack of travel bands (whatever they are) which I was going to bin ages ago, but OH said he would put in his truck for possible use (not sure what possible use ...). Since then, they have sat on the kitchen windowsill for weeks. They have now found their way into the truck, as I threatened to bin them if they didn't!
Not a bad haul today, though I don't think I will get to the 465 (?) items someone worked out would be the total to aim at for this month :eek:

I am sure I will find plenty more junk tomorrow
