Fair enough! so what's next then?

Next - matched bet then back out to garden briefly - then housework - then real work. Wish me luck!

Hi mizmir, did you find out if you can claim that £600 back on expenses? if you can surely that will help you both out a load!

Oh and how is OH getting on with the garden?

mizmir

Still not sure about the £600 - will be trying! Oh has done wonders in the garden - am off out to help now as have found a good matched bet on the first thing I looked at!

Well done you have nearly completed that long list ..your v4 goals are coming together as well so well done on that.

"Bits and pieces" in the garden have taken all afternoon - but now we have at least cleared all the cr*p off the patio, cut back the grass and the worst of the bushes, reinforced the fence to (hopefully!) keep the dog in and retreated the bench. I have also sorted out my car (hopefully!) which was overheating - coolant low so topped that up and checked everything else so should be OK now - though will need to monitor as there may be a leak somewhere :eek:. And someone came from freecycle but couldn't fit the thing in their car so back to square one with that!

So now it's 6pm and I still have "clean kitchen" "tidy bedroom" and 4 hours on funding app" on my list.... mmmmmnn..... I suspect not! Perhaps reduced that to a couple of hours! (MUST do some - have a meeting first thing in the morning about it!)

Not to bad a day for your list then.

Wish Mr. bob would clean up once in a while, he has the magic fairy to do his. Must look out the cattle prod i have somewhere.

Can i ask a question about E bay?
I was paid late for an item, which she now doesn't want and have refunded the money. They say to fill in a dispute form, and put in that we have mutually agreed to end the transaction...how does this work?

Have never had to do an ebay dispute form so not sure... hopefully someone else will be able to advise. Or failing that the ebay board might be able to help? I think it is just a process so that you get a refund of your fees but I'm hazy about it so don't want to give the wrong advice! Good luck.

Kitchen shiny - now to clear the cr*p from the bedroom..... funding app may be down to an hour at this rate! :rolleyes: Still it is the weekend and I don't get overtime for working on it at the weekend... will do a bit but not going to beat myself up over it.
I'll aim to get an early start on it tomorrow.

Bob - I would head over to the ebay board.....they are pretty helpful over there (unlike us lot who have NO IDEA what we are talking about half the time :rotfl: )

Mizmir - yes, an early start might be more productive for the funding application - give yourself a break and enjoy your evening!

Not bad progress today - except that once again I managed to avoid doing the work work - still they don't pay me for sunday working!

• [strike]Sign up for another bookie[/strike] DONE - and with luck will bust out first time with £23+ profit! UPDATE - looks unlikely due to Switzerland being on track for an unprecedented win against Portugal :rolleyes: - the unlikely happening so often is one reason why I would never bet for real!
  
• [strike]Update budget[/strike] DONE fuel/ents over (too many takeaways) and unexpected extras but otherwise on track.
  
• [strike]Check on line banking[/strike] DONE
• [strike]Update snowbal[/strike]l DONE - but behind in repayments cos of the extra £600 we had to pay out - plus a car repair bill.
• [strike]Update totals[/strike] DONE
  
• [strike]Review challenges[/strike] DONE - see earlier post - one out of 4 ain't bad!
  
• Work on funding app - 4 hours. NOT DONE - cutting to an hour then going to bed and getting an early start in the morning!
