    I do believe I detect evidence of the post-decision calm... :A

    Glad to hear that you are going to bin the prawns; life is far too short to do something you hate, even if it was necessary in the short term. Hope that the library or alternative deliveries have something good to offer you. :j

    Longer term, how about the first chain of LulaBerry/HulaHolly B&Bs? You grow the brekkie fruit (I do some gardening, but as I can even kill cacti through underwatering, it's never been the best idea ;) ), and I'll cook (no pasta, no jars of sauce). Deal? :D

    Can I be in charge of staff uniforms??? I have many,many fabulous shoes :rotfl: :rotfl:

    But of course... ;) You will bring much-needed glamour to the whole B&B concept, ensuring that B&B is the new "boutique hotel". :D I wonder if we can persuade Moo to take on the management of the cleaning teams. I know that if I follow my dream, my future will hold a lot of toilets to be cleaned, and a little encouragement (probably a cattle prod or two plus many pairs of rubber gloves) will help me along...:eek:

    Just a few random thoughts. I don't think I saw your last thread, but well done on the debts going the right way. Well done on sticking with something that you don't like (i don't understand prawn deliveries :confused: ). But you don't have to do it forever if something more positive comes along.

    Ref motivation. Do you do hypno's sqaure thing? Ie you take your debt and draw squares representing x bit of the debt. Each time you pay off a bit you colour a square in. Just thought the visuality of it might help?

    good luck with the librarian job, it would be my dream job, as long as I could just sit and read all day.,...

    I would like to volunteer for the reception desk job, I can take the bookings and advise on areas of local interest. I hope there is not a uniform as I have many, many clothes which need wearing. ;) I will need a chair as I have a lot of shoes which I can't stand up in for long. :D

    No problem - I am in charge of shoes and none of them are designed for standing in, never mind walking :rolleyes: :rotfl:

    Ooooh this sounds like a perfect dream :D ,

    I can cope with being a LulaBerry grower & supplier ;) - there will tartes au citron, fraises, framboises, pommes, poivres, & whatever the french for plum is. There will be homegrown onions, leeks, potatoes & sweetcorn & mange tout, rocket, carrots .... etc etc etc. :drool:

    I'm all happy & hopeful now :j

    Hi chevalier :D

    Actually you did post on my previous thread... something about not spending so much money on clothes I think :o :rotfl: which i have taken very seriously which is why we have the crazy clothes challenge that sarah really hates me for :rolleyes:

    I like the sound of colouring in squares :j will inevestigate further.
    Have wanted to do the librarian thing for a while now & as I need to make a trip to my local one tomorrow I shall ask the manager if there are any good ways of getting into that field of work ;)

    How goes it in New Zealand ?
