Gabriel’s counting his money – we just got round to repaying him the money we had to borrow when we were on the ferry back from Mallorca (they didn’t take cards on the boat and he and Olivia were cash rich from holiday money). We’ve been a bit rubbish at paying him back so he informed us that he was giving us a day’s grace after which he’d be charging 1 euro a day in interest! That got him his money back at least!

He’s planning on putting 20 euros into the bank – where they’ll give him another 15 for opening an account.

It was under pressure from Gabriel that we put adsense ads on his site – unfortunately they’re are not performing quite as well as he’d hoped and it’s going to be some time before he gets his first $100 cheque! He’s always squirreled his money away, unlike his sister who has a hole burning in her pocket as far as money is concerned.
