    Oh I nearly forgot, I am hoping to set up a blog so I can upload pictures and keep a journal of sorts. I will put the link up if anybody is interested when I get it up and running.

  • Hi Money Fritter,
    I wondered where you had got to, I have read The Secret (I borrowed the book from the library) I really enjoyed it and a lot of what I read was certainly true, but then I sort of forgot some of the things that were in the book so now I have bought myself a copy and read parts of it each day, most of the time I feel very positive about the future, I am trying to visualise a large cheque off the National Lottery (deep down I know one day I will win big, then me and my OH are going to buy a motor home, chuck the dog in the back and just take off to where ever we fancy going) well thats the dream.
    Hope you enjoy your Holiday

    Morning All,

    Booskyeboo - Sounds great, living the dream in a motorhome :j

    Anyway only managed 2x10p on the scratchcard this morning.

    Anyway think I have everything for my holiday now, I bought a new suit last night after work. The only thing left to get is some euro's and SF, which I will get at the weekend.

    I have got 60 euros so far, as when my mum came up to see me at the weekend she gave me some euros to take with me as a present, which was really nice. Also my auntie gave me a cheque for £60 to spend on holiday as well, which I was really chuffed about.

    So I think tonight I might just chill out in front of the TV.

    Or read a bit more of 'The Secret'.

    Remember folks 'Positive thinking'

  • Hi all,

    Well it is lunch time and today is dragging. Just wish it was Tuesday and I was on the eurostar, travelling across to France.

    Oh well as they say 'good things come to those who wait'

    Hi folks,

    Well, my last day at work was not too stressful. I had a fairly easy day. Went to the gym after work and just chilling this evening with a glass of wine. Busy weekend getting things packed and final stuff done. But getting excited now :j

    Morning all,

    FireWalker - Don't worry I will be trying to update my blog as often as I can, but I will leave out the dodgy stuff :rotfl:

    PoorButRich - Thanks, really cant wait.

    Well folks I have managed 1x25p and 1x10p on the scratchcards today, so not bad.

    Got a busy weekend scheduled so thought I would do a list:-

    1) Get Euro's
    2) Get some Swiss Francs
    3) Get £100 worth of John Lewis vouchers for my friends wedding present
    4) Ironing :eek: it really is a big pile
    5) Really Really try and decide on the miniumum number of clothes I can take in my rucksack. (I will have to wash on my travels)
    6) Clean Fish tank
    7) Pack my rucksack

    I will add stuff as I think of more.

    Right off to newcastle now to get my euros and stuff

    See you later
