The Ultimate Incentive to have an amazing 2010.

I can't really remember Nandos other than my friend wimping out... the last time I went was with the ex so that must be 4 years ago!

I don't like it when your nose hurts and your tongue tingles but I like a bit of spice. When I went to Canada with my family (wow...10 years ago now!) my brother was on the quest for the best buffalo wings and we went to this little restaurant where he asked for them to be extra spicy. I sniffed one and I swear my nose hairs actually hurt. His face was numb for about 3 hours after he ate them, but he finished them! Crazy boy!

I love Mexican food too, not tried everything but its gorgeous!

OH said he wanted to move out with me. I have been moaning for ages about wanting to move and get away from everything. I wouldnt even know where to start? Dont know how much money or what we'd need or anything. Plus he couldnt afford it on his wage alone, so i'd need a job first.

Not made any progress with Dooyoo and been having a crappy few days. Will be back to normal soon xx

No news on the job hunt Lulu? I guess its pointless drawing up budgets and stuff until you find a new job. Are you trained in something specific, or just lookng for anything at all?

Birdie85

Well it's nice that your OH wants to live with you Lulu! I can't really help with the budget for bills... OH sorts it all out, I just put money in the account to pay them! Think it's *about* £800 a month on bills for us and we pay £550 on the mortgage.

Sorry you've had some crappy days recently. I've not written a single review since early last week!

On the plus side I've sold 4 more games! Off to the Post Office again after work!

I've got two days of training coming up at this reception job and 4 days of work coming up, so thats something. I've got an NVQ Level 2 & 3 in Business and Administration, but thats it, i didnt finish school.

I'm not drawing up budgets or anything, it was more of a wondering how much it would cost type thing. I know i cant afford it, its him who would be paying. I'd be invited to go with him, but obviously in not in a position to do it for a while yet.

Rough estimate:

Rent: Sky's the limit, you know your area
Water: £40
Electric: £40
Gas: £50
Broadband/Landline: £25
TV Licence: £11
Contents insurance: £8
Council tax: £100
Food: £200
If there is two of you that might be halfed or whathaveyou, depending on how you split things x

I forgot to say! NIM almost started MBing last night (he is waiting for a mentor to be online to guide him through the first few bets) and he did a £25 free bet with betfair (ie he bets £25 of his own money, if the team looses he gets the £25 back, if they win he gets the bet balance) and we put it on some team playing football against Hamburg last night, M'Labagh or something and he came out of it £108 up! So thats a nice float to start the matched betting with

Brilliant - what a successful start!

I wouldnt be able to halve anything at this point in time and i would never expect OH to pay for me, so its just not possible at the moment. Urgh i need to snap out of this mood, might take myself down the doctors.

Well done on the MBing. Thats a good amount to start with.

Well done on the Amazon sales Birdie. I've sold a DVD today for £10.50, but thats all recently

Hope you're feeling better soon, Lulu. Do you suffer from anxiety or depression? I had the latter a couple of years ago and have had the former for around 5 years now and some of your posts strike a chord as far as moods go so was just wondering. If it's too personal, you don't have to reply!

Just had a product suggestion accepted on DY so another review has been uploaded. I'm just past the 10k mark now for total points so just past the 20% mark. I know we're counting pending points for the challenge but that made me feel a bit less of a failure on the DY front!

Slightly jealous on the MB and Amazon sales fronts (Dinah/NIM and Birdie). MB is way way too complicated for me and my Amazon sales dried up months ago so rather impressed on both counts!
