Money Fritters 'Enough Now' DFW Diary

  • Hi folks,

    Well as Firewalker said I should do the job I love, I thought I would share a poem I wrote with you.

    It is called Flawed Hero.

    Never judge a book by its cover,
    Make sure you read the whole thing,
    Never judge a person by their face,
    Always reserve opinion just in case,
    People always have good deeds, trapped within them, you just have to look,
    Some find them difficult to show,
    Others find them easy and they glow,
    People make mistakes and that's true,
    But that's what defines us through and through,
    So real hero's are unique, they are average, they are flawed, but they are neat,
    Sometimes humanity makes me wonder,
    If living and continuing is a blunder,
    But once in a while you read a story,
    About a normal person doing good,
    Not doing good for glory, not doing good for a story,
    Just doing a good dead because its right,
    Even though you may be weak and it might fright,
    So this poem is for all of them,
    Average people who do extraordinary things,
    I salute you, I hope you never change,
    The world needs you and long may you reign.

  • It is amazing how much talent there is on this board. What happens if we all get together and start creating, I wonder?

    I am ordering the Secret from Amazon before i go to bed tonight. For the first time in ages i have hope. You have no idea how much you have helped and inspired me dearest Firewalker. I have no plans to write a book but i despair sometimes at the selfishness of people. Your joie de vivre and selflessness is an example to us all.

  • Hi folks,

    Well my fridge freezer has finally arrived, so now all I need to do is go shopping tomorrow and stock up, considering it was pay day yesterday. I have done my budget for the month and it is going to be tight, but I know I can do it, as I have done it before.

  • Hi folks,

    Well I managed to transfer my credit card to a new 0% deal over the weekend. I also went food shopping and managed to get proper ingredients.

    Oh and I also managed 2x10p on the scratchcards this morning.

    Hopefully I can get back into the matched betting tonight.

  • Hi folks,

    Well spent £32.18 on food. So I have £67.82 left for the October grocery challenge.

    I also managed a NSD today, so that is 1 for September. I am just getting in the practice for October when I will need a few NSD!!!

  • Hi folks,

    Had a good badminton training session this evening. Need to get back into it as my first league match of the season is on the 14th October.

    I managed another NSD today and also got 2x10p on the scratchcards. I will also have some matched betting money tomorrow as I have nearly completed the wage required.
