They don't drive for you - when they say "turn right" you can just ignore them.
I navigate using roads/maps to the town, and then let mine take me to the door.
It's normally places which reflect signals a lot - like a city centre. They rely on the assumption that signals go direct from them to your car - if that assumption is off, then they start to panic.
I also use a map:rotfl:Last time we were in Cornwall and using SATNAV, it showed us going in a field when there was a road thereIt did warn us. So now i ignore it completely.:D

Do you know Shaun a friend teased about my last name, which has a remarkable similarity to a peanut butter and chocolate confectionary in America and Canada called ......... peices. I saw some in Aldi and thought, well i had to buy some and they weren't half bad.
So the bottom bit is the peanut and the top is chocolate and they have a texture a bit like a Mars bar and come in a cupcake shape.
Just thought i would share.Blackadder: Am I jumping the gun, Baldrick, or are the words 'I have a cunning plan' marching with ill-deserved confidence in the direction of this conversation?

As ever another cunning tribute to Blackadder and a rather appropriate saying to mark the occasion.;)
So where am i now and how did Cunning plan mark 1 go?
A little reprise from cunning plan 1 ( insert wobbly lines for effect):rotfl:
So where am i now..well as the title says, not in as good a position as i would like. The truth is i am working very little at the moment and have been very proactive in trying to get extra work....(i supply teach) Currently i have two interviews lined up for more work and am still using contacts to network and make some more dosh.I am working in a steady job, but still term time only:cool:So more dosh there:T
Where do i want to be? Well ideally i would like to personally debt free in FEBRUARY or March, the truth is that it will only happen if i get full time work, the children stop eating or we win the lottery The amount now that is about £5,500 A bit more than when i originally started. I would also add here that this is just my stuff at the moment as Mr.B has other debt so i may allude to it every now and then, but he doesn't want to be mentioned...other than first page i will keep my promise Broke that one,i promise to try and keep Mr.B on a leash....he is a tricksy one though.My personal debt has reduced.....although overdraft on main account went up so still roughly the same there:o
So after my share of household bills i am left with little to overpay with at the moment..ooh i can overpay now:D
Ways to remedy that
1. Get extra work, part time job, more supply work, delivering catalogues etc.Achieved, didn't deliver catalogues
2. Budget, budget and budgetalways and then some
3. Do as much as i can clicking and surveys( like pulling teeth but it all adds up)errr!! nope, but will get going on Dooyou
4. Finish the free bingo sites...What can i say:rolleyes:
5. I have joined the list 10 items a day challenge, so will keep doing that and fleabay. Have also enquired about taking stuff to auction..i have old furniture stored at BIL's factory (free) But may as well get something for it still working my way through that
6.I will start matched betting.. Useless on this:o
7. start charging more for my cakes..just a little hobby of mine and if Obi is lurking i promise i will....Nope not had time to make any
8.keep a spending diary and reopen a spends account to keep me focused.Yep and will continue to do so, though not as brave as Hypno posting hers,,lol
9. Keep on with the grocery challenge, and continually look out for better deals as well as using quidco for extra if available.Still on budget with this and am loving the challenge
10. As i like ironing may even take some of that in..but that may be going too far All offers welcome:D
11. more walking practice and losing weightGetting there and have lost 6lbs
So not all bad, but not all good.
Will be able to overpay by about £500 a month and save at least the same. I am aiming for 2012 to be totally debt free, but will require copious turnip lobbing to keep me focussed as a lot of the debt is in Mr.B's name and i want to save to make F&F offers on these.:o
So madness starts all over again..oops:D
Off to Ferret in my kettle..........that devil:rotfl:Thank goodness for Oldstyle.
