    home for 10 minutes of beautiful silence. I really don't like being in my morning job in the office I'm now in. Shouty and highly strung, I just sit quietly working trying to block it out, with occasional little daydreams of running away from it all and going for a pint of cider ;)

    The other 3k hasn't arrived yet. I'll let my account settle down today and maybe it will arrive tomorrow.
    :D"Stay Wonky":D

    the rest of the money still hasn't arrived so it will be Monday now I guess.

    I'm a bit too calm about it all really seeing how much the savings mean to me.

    If you have debt, then you don't have savings.

    Finance is not what makes you feel good, it's about what is the right thing to do.

    Why???

    Wearing a posh/sexy set of underwear gives you a boost even if nobody will see it that day.........

    OK maybe not the peep hole bra or the crotchless knicks but get your fancy pants on lady! You are a smasher superstar (one of my Granda's sayings):D
    But these things take time, I know that I'm, the most inept that ever stepped.

    to be honest, it doesn't really to me - I don't really think about what I've got on under my clothes day to day :confused: Perhaps if I even vaguely thought 'something' was going to happen I'd put on my best stuff :rotfl:
