    aaaaggghhhh - where does time go? No time this morning to catch up and back out again in 5 mins ..... will try ot have a round up later. Pretty good day today - made a lot of progress with the darned funding app. + got £10 off my tesco shop with a voucher from here and had my lunch and two lattes bought for me! Will work out what that comes to later.

    Downside - have over £150 at a bookie which has pants odds - and another £100 to WR before I can withdraw - bleuh!

    Ok that's my time up - hope you are all having a fabulous sunny MSE day m'dears - talk later.

    Or maybe not! Just got on line again - by whch time everyone else has very sensibly gone to bed - oh dear! About to follow suit - got to start earlyish again tomorrow - feels like one long grind at the moment...

    Still trying to find a decent match at the bookie.....
  • Even i'm not that dedicated, i have managed a few early nights but am wide awake again.....

    I thought about listing on Ebay, but havent got any impetus to do so.

    Still lurking around with a hope of some salvation:cool:

    Afternoon all - sneaking a break at work for this - first stop since I got here this morning - even had a working lunch! :rolleyes: (but at least was free! :D). Things will ease off a little after my deadline tomorrow - just had this major bit of work to do - hope it pays off!

    On the DFW front - things pretty tight until payday in spite of all the extras coming in. Seem to have spent so much "extra" this month - mostly unavoidable - but it is not difficult to see how our money disappears.... will hopefully get some more expenses in at the end of the month which should help. But my car is losing radiator fluid so it looks like another visit to the garage and more expense on the cards :mad:.

    Nothing to add to the coffers today so far except the free lunch - equates to about £3 I think. But have someone picking up a freecycled fridge later so will be clearing some space and will be trying to find a decent match to get on with my WR so I can move to the next bookie!

    So things to do today (apart from work!):
    • Check through odds at bookie for match
    • Update totals
    • plan meals until we go away (food already bought! I know - wrong way round! :o)
    • sort out airport parking/transport to airport for Dublin trip
    • [strike]check on line banking[/strike]
    • Check quidco enquiry info

    Hi Mizmir...it's a nuisance when we get months like that...july will be expensive for us all tax deductible but will have to be paid out anyway.
