    *bleary eyed*

    Morning guys!

    El, I find amazon really easy to use - and I am nicely surprised at what I am selling, so give it a go - it costs nothing if they don't sell so not like ebay.

    The question of what to do with the tax rebate has been answered - as you know we are selling our little car, which means getting OH motorbike back on the road, but it needs work on it before it will get through its MOT plus tax etc.........which all in all will take most of my little "bonus".

    Bah.........it won't even be in my bank for a week before it is spent again!

    Needless to say, I am slightly (!) cheesed off..........but at least the money is there to pay for the repairs so it is not creating more debt, so I suppose I have to look on the bright side....

    Plan today:

    2 more mystery shops
    post amazon parcel
    list 10 things on ebay
    sign up for the next bookie

    Have a good one, everyone x

    Awwww
    Pity the tax rebate won't be "fun money" but you'd have been a lot more cheesed off if the bike repairs had come out of already spoken for funds so I guess it came at this time for a reason.
    You'll just have to earn a whopping great bonus at work this year instead for the fun money !! ;)
    Have an extra latte on the taxman today anyway-you deserve it !!

    Yes, I bought a latte guilt free this morning - and who knows, I may even have another one at lunchtime!

    I have also been good and transferred £100 (which is what I reckon will be left) off the egg card and updated the snowball etc, so at least I feel that I will be getting something positive out of the extra money.

    Well, today I had an amazon book to send - I thought I would come out of it with at least a couple of quid because the sale price was good - but the postage cost £4.30!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    So, I think I calculated my profit at about 70p.......would have kept the book had I known!!

    Oh well, that is 70p more than I had this morning, so I suppose I can't complain........(much!)
