Just nipped in home on my way to the download meeting thing - yes, I am going empty handed
More kicks up the backside will be administered this evening I am sure, although I did, in my humble defence, get some ideas down on paper.
I have managed a NSD today, though, so that is good news - that takes me up to 7 for June which is 5 more than May and 6 more than April.......I'm getting there!Successful women can still have their feet on the ground.

They say the greatest journeys begin with little steps - just think, Hypno, how much you might have spent in the bad old days before that lightbulb went on.......One life - your life - live it!0

And think how much more it would have been if I had ever had sky, or smoked, or drank, or owned a dog!!Successful women can still have their feet on the ground. They just wear better shoes. (Maud Van de Venne)Life begins at the end of your comfort zone (Neale Donald Walsch)0 -

Sorry to read about your car, SH - that was one heck of an expensive job interview then.....I don't know much about scrapping etc. There is a motoring board on MSE - could be worth enquiring on there?
Download meeting went well - I have committed myself to recording again next Monday - so I had better have a script or two ready by then :rolleyes:Successful women can still have their feet on the ground.

Morning all - It's payday :j
always a good day, so I will be getting my calculator out when I get to work and sorting out what money we have for the next few weeks. Hopefully things will look positive!
£42 profit made as well on a casino thing over the weekend which has hit my bank account, so that has gone into the "pay off the debt" pot, and will be transferred to OH egg loan on 1st July
So, all in all, a reasonable start to the day. Aiming for a NSD as well today, so hopefully I will be reporting success on that later on.....
Have a good day everyone, and enjoy the sunshine!!Successful women can still have their feet on the ground. They just wear better shoes. (Maud Van de Venne)Life begins at the end of your comfort zone (Neale Donald Walsch)0 -
