    2024 - happy, healthy, quality over quantity, buy nothing new (and 2nd hand only if NEEDED), mindful spending, nurturing myself and family, living for now.

    Debt @ 31/12/23 £16k - no interest - will clear over 5 years hopefully.
    Emergency savings £4k - been ransacked over last year - needs attention :-(

  • A rabbit walks into a pub and says to the barman "Can I have a pint of
    beer and a Ham and Cheese Toastie" The barman is amazed but gives the
    rabbit a pint of beer and a ham and cheese toastie. The rabbit drinks
    the beer and eats the toastie, he then leaves.
    The following night the rabbit returns and again asks for a Pint of
    Beer and a Ham and Cheese Toastie. The barman, now intrigued by the
    rabbit and the extra drinkers in the pub (because word gets round)
    gives the rabbit the pint and the toastie. The rabbit consumes them
    and leaves.

    The next night, the pub is packed, in walks the rabbit and says "A
    pint of beer and a Ham and Cheese Toastie, please barman" The crowd is
    hushed as the barman gives the rabbit his pint and toastie and then
    burst into applause as the rabbit wolfs them down.
    The next night there is standing room only in the pub, coaches have
    been laid on for the crowds of patrons attending, the barman is making
    more money in one week than he did all last year. In walks the rabbit
    and says, "A Pint of Beer and a Ham and Cheese Toastie, please
    barman", smiling and accepting the tributes of the masses. The barman
    says, "I'm sorry rabbit, old mate, old mucker but we are right out of
    them Ham and Cheese Toasties"

    The rabbit looks aghast, the crowd has quietened to almost a whisper,
    when the barman clears his throat nervously and says, "We do have a
    very nice Cheese and Onion Toastie" The rabbit looks him in the eye
    and says, "Are you sure I will like it" The masses bated breath is ear
    shatteringly silent.
    The barman, with a roguish smile says, "Do you think that I would let
    down one of my best friends, I know you'll love it" "Ok" says the
    rabbit," I'll have a Pint of Beer and a Cheese and Onion Toastie"

    The pub erupts with glee as the rabbit quaffs the beer and guzzles the
    toastie, he then waves to the crowd and leaves. NEVER TO RETURN!!!!!!
    One year later in the now impoverished public house, the barman (who
    has only served 4 drinks tonight, 3 of which were his) calls time.
    When he is cleaning down the now empty bar, he sees a small white
    form, floating above the bar. The barman says, "Who are you" To which
    he is answered, "I am the ghost of the rabbit that used to frequent
    your public house"

    The barman says, "I remember you, you made me famous, you would come
    in every night and have a Pint of Beer and a Ham and Cheese Toastie,
    masses came to see you and this place was famous" The rabbit says,
    "Yes I know" The barman said, "I remember, on your last night we
    didn't have any Ham and Cheese Toasties, you had a Cheese and Onion
    one instead" The rabbit said "Yes, you promised me that I would love
    it"
    The barman said "You never came back, after that fateful night, what happened"
    "I died", said the Rabbit.

    "I'm so sorry" said the barman, "what did you die from?".
    After a short pause the rabbit said...

  • Morning All!

    Lovin' the comment re Martin's 'trout pout'!!

    Danko basically what's happeneing is that I'm being spoken to and treated like s*it since I started back at work and yesterday I found out that one of the managers are 'watching' to see how much work I'm doing. I've got a strange shift on a Monday night and there's no-one else around. They boss apparently tried to check to see how much work I'd got through wwhen everyone left. This is fine by me as I know they need to check the staff are working but she only done this with me and no-one that was in for the time before I left.

    Paul I know no-one will back me up but if I had to, I'd go it alone! I don't think it's gender related, I think they are just miffed that I was off on maternity leave, went back for 6months then was off again as I was pregnant when I went back after having my 1st. I know they've got every reason to be annoyed at me as I've only really worked for 18months out of the 3years I've been employed by them but surely they can't hold it against me until I leave??

    Boysma I started a wee diary last week so will keep it updated.

    Thank you all for showing such concern! :A

    No pad for me yet as I've not gone through my account but will post it later!

    Hope you all have a fab day! x

    Morning everyone!

    Angelic - sorry to hear that they are still giving you a hard time at work, they shouldnt be holding it against you that you have been on maternity leave twice. Good idea about keeping a diary of events, at least then you can give dates etc if it does come to the stage where you need to make a complaint.

    Not much going on here for me today. Was supposed to be going to the gym this morning but i feel really ill and sick so given that one a miss. Feeling sorry for myself infront of the tv instead!

    PAD for me today is £5.26 to moving house fund please.

    Well, the chance of snow here has disappeared from the forecast! Hurrahh!!!!!

    I have developed a cold though. Booooo. Not to bad right now though, mostly a cough, so fingers crossed it doesn't get too bad.

    Have a good day all.
