  • :T Wow finally all caught up! :j

    Once again, as this has been reiterated before...

    A month off in your terms is still a busy busy busy month in mine! :rotfl:

    Job hunting is going ok... I'm going back down the recruitment consultant route again as it seems the jobs on offer there are far nicer and more challenging than anything else on the market! I also like a sales a bit! :beer:

    So I could be back to hiring fully qualified finance professionals again and being the scourge of the financial world until people need me! :T :T

    Or I could work in Dubai, but I don't know what the OH will react to that...
    :beer: Debt Free since July 2011 and it feels good! :beer:

    Now it's all about finding a deposit for a house!

    How do you amass £70k in a year?! :eek:

    Hiya
    Hope you've done your decluttering today. Mine consisted of 6 things from the cupboard that we'll never eat put in bags for the harvest festival at school and four bits of paper work including a letter I needed to write. Actually, I shredded loads of bits of paper but i'm counting it towards todays 10. Ooooh, I coloured another square in today....only 57 to go!!!!

    10 things by proxy.........I have roped the kids into decluttering 10 items a day from their rooms :D They are quite amenable to the idea :D We shall see how we go!

    Walshy, good luck with the job hunting - something will turn up soon, and you sound quite positive so that always helps!

    Mudbath, I did a square too - some mystery shopping appeared in my account today so I paid £50 to the egg loan :T

    2 Mystery shops have now been input, and I have just eaten a fabby salad which I brought home from one of the M/S so free food again :D

    Time now for a shower then collapse into bed with a book!

    £10 has been paid off the egg loan today, courtesy of a scratchcard withdrawal..........bit by bit I am getting there!

    Nothing else expected today, MSE wise........I will check for mystery shops during the day and declutter my 10 things after work, but that will be about it! Have a good one x

    Hiya

    Thats £60 paid off in the last two days, Hypno, thats great. I think we can forgive you the decluttering-by-proxy yesterday - and well done on the free food *and* the exercise yesterday, thats great. I needed a bit of a break yesterday afternoon, but came back from that to actually get stuck in to my accounts - there's *loads* to do, days of work, but at least I've started. And this morning I decluttered 3 things from a kitchen drawer while I was waiting for the kettle to boil! Its all infectious, keep going!

    Just fabulous Hypno!

    Think I'll steal your 'proxy' idea & get OH to clean up his desk and bookshelves...

    As long as he doesn't steal the idea himself and point out my stack of shoes, I think we will make some inroads into the clutter!

    Have a lovely day!:D
