    I like to plan and follow through - nothing more rewarding than getting to that goal you've been working at for months and months :D

    Oh it happens sometimes, well, occasionally.. need more patience I think, you got any spare? :D

    Nope :p

    Really its all about the long term goals - makes you much happier in long run if you plan the things you can change and stop worrying about the things you cant :D

    Hi squizz. mrs P has Housemaids Knee!

    Dont forget that big plans shold be made up of little ones....and little rewards along the way to keep you motivated. X


    ....I went fishing in the end!
    Now cooking roast chicken ( to have cold ) and bottom of the fridge veg soup. Also picked some blackberries and apples whilst fishing so using up a couple of eggs and making blackberry and apple souffle for pud. Yum!
    :D:D stay wonky :D:D

    ....one-way ticket to Portugal booked !
  • Morning.. mm your tea sounds tasty Pepe! Might be doing a bit of fruit picking tomorrow :D

    Little plans today are.. to survive work and hope the day goes as fast as possible cos I can't wait for the weekend!

  • End of the week money update - have £150 left in one account which will cover the little debt - just have to leave it alone there!

    £60 in other account and £5 on pre-paid card so can spend no more than about a fiver a day until payday - shouldn't be a problem. If I've got anything left it can go in the ISA.

    Definitely keen on the gardening courses posted above but going to (shock horror) save up - so about £250 needed :eek:

    Morining Squizz.
    Mrs P has Housemaids Knee, according to the ( V young, or is it me? ) Doctor. So on a huge amount of anti-inflammatory drugs which is good cos theyve given her loads so we can have some in the drugs box for future use:D

    Just copying my 1st credit file for the Financial Ombudsman as Complaint going off to them today. Also stuffing Cadbury Apricot cruumble Crunch choccy too.

    Have a 'busy' day, remember to ALWAYS have a piece of paper in your hand when working in an office.....that got me through 5 years of skiving at Lloyds Bank:D
    :D:D stay wonky :D:D
