The ultimate incentive to get debt free, can I do it by New Years?

We all watched the apprentice last night, won't say who was fired except it was the wrong person! Most well rounded candidate of the three, we were shocked!

That's what everyone at work has been saying! I'm very intrigued!

I missed episode 2 and 3, I can't even work out who was fired on week 2 as I don't recognise any faces as missing!

Week 2 was Rocky, the young geordie lad, he was quite cute- I think I remember someone telling me that More magazine had approached him about posing with a baguette (and not a lot more!)- he owns a chain of sandwich shops. Not that I know a lot about him!

I've never really got into the Apprentice I have to say, but then I only just got into Gordon Ramsey a few weeks ago, I'm very slow on the uptake.

I'm off up Scafell Pike tomorrow - highest moutain in England don't you know? - but nothing much else planned, just needed to use up my holidays. Will probably be incapacitated for the rest of the weekend after my walk anyway!

Yes stay indoors Cinny if you're in one of THOSE moods!!

You never know about the job Birdie, you know what HR departments are like!!

Oh I think I heard about him on the radio before it started, wasn't it Fatso's or something he set up?

The lad from Boro is driving me batty, he's so angry all the time!

He's an idiot, but they'll keep him for a while because he makes good TV! The shops are Fatso's, there's one in the town where I used to live although I've never been in as I don't like sandwiches that I haven't made myself (I'm picky and don't like most salads and I definitely don't do mayo so I end up paying £2.50 for a plain meat sarnie!) Oooh, talking about sandwiches, yesterday when I finally dragged myself out of bed at about midday OH popped out and came back with bacon and sausage sandwiches... my goodness they were good; I fell in love with him all over again! It's funny how little things that make me realise why I'm with him- it is easy to forget when he hides my uniform and sleeps with his head on my pillow and snores in my ear!

Lol. Yeah sometimes they are super cute. NIM is out buying my mum a new phone atm, tomorrow hes spending the day helping my grandad fix things around their house. He is without a doubt the most generous person with both time and money that I have ever met, it's one of the things that makes me love him as I think it is a rare and admirable quality.

Got another MS for a supermarket on my way home this evening. I like this one as its a non-food branch, so there are fewer counters I need to enquire at, so a fairly easy £10!

Most of my collegues go to Fatsos on a lunchtime but I'm like you, picky with my sarnies. Today I have two mini wholemeal rolls with quorn chicken, rocket and peppers. I hate all the 'wet' salad like lettuce and tomatoes!

Aw you guys are making me feel all lovey-dovey, and hanker after a Fatso's jacket spud for dinner!!

Ah, Birdie, missing uniform small price to pay for surprise sarnies, right?!

How's your 'To Do' list coming along, Cinny? I've got a spending itch today too! I'm going up to London for an open evening about TEFL courses and the devil on my shoulder is whispering for me to go up a bit earlier and take my credit card on a trip down Oxford street. Bad devil! I'm not even into shopping really... I've chosen to ignore it, but as I'm paying for a train ticket anyway, I might go up early and do something free - I quite fancy the V&A.

Speaking of shopping, did you buy the jacket (?) you were after for the climb, Tete? That sounds like a very wholesome weekend you've got planned

I've taken to watching The Apprentice from behind a cushion (cringeing) - how can they be the best candidates?! They make such schoolboy errors and they're all pretty vile - does make for good entertainment though. Who's writing Sir Alan's script this series? He's hilarious!

Ooooh just sold a book I got on RiSi on amazon for £13 (probably make about £8-10 after postage, its huge). I only request books I want on RiSi, but when I've read them I check to see if they're worth anything on amazon before I relist them, and in this case I struck very lucky!
