Cash Sick

Goodness gracious me…who suggested that doing the ironing or our finances who give me a sense of accomplishment to pull me out of the blues!

I’ve been putting figures into excel (an accounts package) for 2 days now. I dread pressing the ADD button. In fact, I might not. You can know too much about these things.

I don’t know who has been using our cards, but they are having a helluva time.
There’s small countries spending less than us.

Ann, you thought it was an accident that we left the country without paying up and that you were never able to cash that restaurant voucher we gave you. I promise I’ll cook you something nice (and still in date) when you visit. If you’re reading can we talk payment programme for those Christmas gifts you bought on our behalf!

Before we did this mental thing of travelling-in-the-one-spot for a year…people asked me what we’d live on. I joked that its amazing how much moola you can make these days, with a webcam and a bit of imagination.

So how much is a web-cam???

I'm going to try the ironing option tomorrow, see if it has a more positive effect

Full day's skiing planned for me and hubby tomorrow, kids in school from 8 30 to 4 30. Yipee. I'll work on the webcam idea once I get home! Slappers and Salopettes.....hmmm

Edited To Add:

Well I finally got the courage to press ADD......and it indicates that our spending has dropped 25% compared to living in Dublin. That's over our first 4 months. Which are always extremely expensive when moving to a new country. So I'm quite optimistic that we can pull it down further, now that all the ski expenses, house furnishing, snow tyres, headlight changes, retaxing, heating oil etc is dealt with.

So I'll be putting slappers and salopettes on hold for the moment.

Ann, cheques in the post!
