Summer is here (apparently)

Diary

Again its been busy, I have had meetings in Southampton and London, so again the cashback through Quidco has been topping up nicely. I dont mind travelling to meetings for work but it seriously ruins my week, a day out of the office seems to put me back two or three days in terms of getting things done.

I am also starting to believe that emails are the devil, everyone seems to want to hide behind an email. or is it that we live in a blame culture where everyone wants to cover them self with an email just in case? I get between 60-100 emails a day, the majority of emails are people copying me just in case. I would say over 50% of emails are of no use to me. The problem with getting this many emails is how on earth do you look at all of them and do your job? there is a chance that important information could be missed. What is the way around this and do people need to think first before sending emails?

I have also managed to finish the Michael Carrick Book which has been a long time coming. all I can say is what a dedicated player. I wish a few of the Manchester United players would be as dedicated as him, maybe they would be better players!

I have not made that first overpayment yet, I feel quite nervous for some reason, I think its to do with moving house and hoping I have enough money to pay all of the bills. I think I will set up the online banking for my mortgage and then make the payments so I can see that they actually get to where they should be.

Matched betting

I received an email from Betstars with a free £5 bet if I bet £10 on any sport, so I did as every little helps. I lost 60p of the qualifying bet and won £3.89 on the free bet, giving a total of £3.29.

Tuck shop

I have reviewed my accounts and to date I have spent £110.16 in total and made £136.70, which is £26.54 profit to date with still a few chocolate bars and crisps to sell. i will wait for these final items to sell and then the tuck shop should then start self supporting itself. I can then pay back the £110.16

Money Saved

I managed to put £20 away this month, it doesn't seem much, bu after the last month of spending a fortune on the New house I have done very well to save this.

Savings Account
This month was £26.51 from the cashback and interest. Unfortunately the solicitors bill is due on Thursday next week so my savings will be back down to my original £4k which is like my safety buffer in case anything goes wrong in life generally. my interest will be a lot less than this. If anyone can recommend a better saving account then let me know.

Cashback
Quido paid £16.12 from various work trips
