  • Hope you find some energy soon KC. I think Mrs SJ might think we are all weirdos!

    Yearly interest has been applied to small ISA so that's another £140.30 to add to the total.

    Great diary eating the elephant just finished reading and will watch with interest.Could someone explain to me how to do a spreadsheet online please as i have no idea and i am afraid i might open something i shouldnt,also are they free or do you have to pay i would love one for my budget and one for my mortgage overpayments ,thank you in advance.
  • Hi tryharder, not sure what everyone else uses but my spreadsheets are created using M$ Excel, it is not free though. I have it installed on my laptop and phone as part of my Office 365 subscription (for work). If you don't have access to that Open Office is free to download as M$ Office is not cheap. I've not come across any online spreadsheets, but then never really looked before.
  • Hopefully a quiet weekend at Elephant towers. Although I do have a few bits of work to do. The eb@y sale was available in paypal, that's another £150 shuffled over.
    There are end of month accounts to start and expenses to do for the business too, but shouldn't think that will be completed this weekend. I plan to start the ironing mountain whilst it is still cool in the house, then go from there!
    DD2 has a school trip soon as part of her course, so will need to fit in a quick trip for some clothes too this month.

    Some fab shuffling going on! My mum and a couple of other she horses with will all look after each others horses if they go away, or she knows a young lady who will do it for a little moolah! Not sure my mum would cope without hollybobs!haha.

    great interest and bay... I'm not great on selling. Sold a few things a couple of months ago.. but they were the only things worth selling. My t$B interest was £7.55 this month.. almost beat last years ISA total of £8 :D

    Wow what a great result eating the elephant £150 it takes me ages to accumulate that well done .Hope you get some good sales shangaijimmy i have around 300 items listed at the minute on mine and oh sites but im very lucky if i make my £10 a day average target so aiming for around £300 a month overall but its hard work and very time consuming listing but all very useful towards the main aim.
  • Good to hear lots of eb@y activity is going on. Those funds were from a techie item that has held its price surprisingly well, so a one off. I'm also finding the interest each month is creeping up (partly as i've saved more, partly due to psa), every little helps!

    Worked a couple hours today so helps make up a little bit for having BH Monday off, finished the ironing AND did the travel expenses. Most of it was shuffled over to hubbies account, but did shuffle £39.15 to savings :) sorted pics and put pony advert up - quite a productive day really!

    I may have an idea of someone who could look after the horses for a short while too Jodles, so maybe able to manage a short break at some point.
