Genuinely I think a lot of people would pay good money for that - the question is - would it break your heart to take itHalf term......what's that then
It's just another working week :rolleyes:
A thought re the holiday lets - I could do residential MSE courses......teaching people snowballs, scratchcards and free b!ngo..... with a bit of budget planning and SOA-making. I could do a "how to use a slowcooker" weekend......."how to feed your family for a week on a fiver" courses......:think:
Whaddya reckon
?
You would have to get your head round that before you did it. But I could have saved myself thousands of pounds of debt - probably close to your original debt if you count what we hid in the mortgage - if we had learned these lessons in our early 20s....Achieve FIRE/Mortgage Neutrality in 2030

in which case, I could offer residential courses for school parties - teach 'em young before they are in need of their first student loan and graduate overdraft :cool: they can then do canoing and sailing on the broad nearby......Successful women can still have their feet on the ground.

That's not a bad idea...put it to Martin to see what he would think.:D
Signs Mr.B up for most of courses...i will pass on the bingo, but would have a go on the MBing:DBlackadder: 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?

Hypno's just desperate for Pickle to move into one of those, aren't you, Hypno?
I'm an excellent ironer. But I don't do socks or underwear: life is, quite frankly, too short.
Just send me the address and I'll pop down in a week or so once I've packed the essentials...;)Please call me 'Pickle'

Put me down for the matched betting residential course Hypno

It would have paid for itself by the time you left to go home SH.........:D
I'm teaching for Adult Ed today - not matched betting, I hasten to add! So that will be most of my day taken up. Then an evening of X factor will be very welcome.
Of course first things first, scratches, banking, and I have a survey or two in my inbox that I can attempt......oh, and one or two coffees.
Have a good day everyone - remember, an extra hour's sleep tonight 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
