    Cocktails O'clock - spoken like a true Irishwoman RED! :D


    Thats me.......the ole Irish Virus....ruination of many a family!

    Not such a good advocate...I drank 1 litre of fizzy orange last night and I hate fizzy orange :(

    BTD - how are the mini goals going? Do you find it easier to have 'bite-size chunks' as it were to deal with. I think its a great idea and good for staying focused.

    Thanks for the note on my diary....do you mean paper wallets or actual ring binders for each creditor.....don't think I have that much shelf space!!

    Whatever I get from anyone know - first thought is 'what would this be worth on ebay' - it's my b/day this weekend and all my family know I am selling like crazy so they have told me that they will be checking ebay to ensure their gifts aren't on.

    Well done on the walking - very healthy!

    I think I need to start walking at lunchtime instead of working through- would probably help my stress levels, especially when it is sunny!!
