    my good news is, my OH likes to DJ and last night we got an email asking him to DJ at a night in April. He wont get paid for it but he is on the bill with some VERY famous people, and heres hoping it will lead to something big for him!

    I went to sleep wondering what Fatboy slim earns these days....

    My good news is; My husband and I have saved and made so much money that we have started to get cocky and splashing the cash again. ( I know not good news, but bare with me). So a couple of days ago he ordered a dvd box set for £8.99 that was just a complete waste. We then had a talk and realised we had both gone back to buying rubbish, so he listed the dvd set on Amazon adnd we have just had an email saying it has sold for £17. So not only have we got back on track but our mistake has made us money too! :D Very very happy :j

    My good news for today is this.

    I have been invited to the theatre this evening and then out for a meal afterwards. I was really looking forward to the theatre but nervous about how much I'd spend on the meal. Was debating whether it would look funny if I declined the meal.

    Anyway, got a text this morning telling me the meal is cancelled and so wont look rude but still saving that money so no guilt.

    Brilliant! Dilemma solved.

    I've been on strike since 1st January, not doing overtime. Got a letter this morning to say it's been suspended! I can do overtime again and get back on to clearing my debts instead of living hand to mouth :j
