A Payment a Day -Part Seven!
Comments

A store that sells new husbands has opened in New York City , where a woman may go to choose a husband. Among the instructions at the entrance is a description of how the store operates:
You may visit this store ONLY ONCE! There are six floors and the value of the products increase as the shopper ascends the flights. The shopper may choose any item from a particular floor, or may choose to go up to the next floor, but you cannot go back down except to exit the building!
So, a woman goes to the Husband Store to find a husband. On the first floor the sign on the door reads:
Floor 1 - These men Have Jobs
She is intrigued, but continues to the second floor, where the sign reads:
Floor 2 - These men Have Jobs and Love Kids.
'That's nice,' she thinks, 'but I want more.'
So she continues upward. The third floor sign reads:
Floor 3 - These men Have Jobs, Love Kids, and are Extremely Good Looking.
'Wow,' she thinks, but feels compelled to keep going.
She goes to the fourth floor and the sign reads:
Floor 4 - These men Have Jobs, Love Kids, are Drop-dead Good Looking and Help With Housework.
'Oh, mercy me!' she exclaims, 'I can hardly stand it!'
Still, she goes to the fifth floor and the sign reads:
Floor 5 - These men Have Jobs, Love Kids, are Drop-dead Gorgeous, Help with Housework, and Have a Strong Romantic Streak.
She is so tempted to stay, but she goes to the sixth floor, where the sign reads:
Floor 6 - You are visitor 31,456,012 to this floor. There are no men on this floor. This floor exists solely as proof that women are impossible to please. Thank you for shopping at the Husband Store.
PLEASE NOTE:
To avoid gender bias charges, the store's owner opened a New Wives store just across the street.
The first floor has wives that love sex.
The second floor has wives that love sex and have money and like beer.
The third, fourth, fifth and sixth floors have never been visited.Debt @ LBM - £25,722 Debt now - £11,811 DFD - April 2012 :eek: :eek:

A PAD of £10 to Barclaycard.
I've also set up so I can make payments to Marbles over the internet so that any spare money that I don't spend for whatever reason can be thrown at them to pay them off.
Something I should have done sooner but oh well.

Morning ladies and gents *sniff*
PayDay tomorrow and it's looking likely that I won't have needed to use ANY of my overdraft this month (even though it was tight), so a small PAD of £3 into my savings and 40p into my tin to make a grand total of £3.40 please Green!
My nose has been running like a bean for about two weeks now and still hasn't developed into a full-blown cold or something I could justify taking time off work forOh well. I keep reminding myself that I'm lucky to have a job, but it's hard when it's drizzly outside and all you want to do is watch Vicar of Dibley reruns
I had the same problem as you with my windscreen early last year, Green, and just handed £75 to the nice Autoglass man. Much preferable than £200+, but still galling when it's not your fault.
Hope you all had marvelous weekends. Soon be Spring!

Well done on your PAD.
Farming is farmville on facebook a lot of PAD people are farmers so feel to pm me if you feel like having a go.
The mad farmer is AngelicMary :Awho although she is about 65000 :eek: points ahead of me is scared that I am going to overtake her in one day just because I have made a small dent in her lead over the last few days she is safe and knows it really
