    Congratulations on the win. Annoying about paying too much tax, but hope the refund comes in soon.

    Not a lot to report last few days, been really busy in work so that's kept my mind occupied and not obsessing about money!

    Still no news on the car front, will pop in and see dealer this morning as we'll be passing by anyway.

    Working later today and tomorrow so good overtime again this month :D

    And I've lost 3lbs this week!! Have a great weekend :)

    Morning all! Hope you had a nice weekend :)

    Still no movement on the car unfortunately. Spoke with the dealer and he says it's been quiet all round. Spoke with another trader I know and he said the same so I'm not too worried about it. It'll sell eventually, I could just do with it being sooner rather than later. I won't mention anything about cars again until it's sold!

    Still absolutely shattered from the weekend working, it completely throws me when I need to do a nightshift - takes me about 2 or 3 days to recover afterwards. But the money from the weekend will be a huge help so I shouldn't complain.

    Mrs fatrab is going to have her house on the market before the end of the month and she's going to accept the first sensible offer that comes in for it. As there's no chain involved it's going to be ideal for a first time buyer, and it's going to be priced accordingly.

    This waiting game is killing me...... :)
