    There is no point in negative thought, it takes up time and energy which could be used in a positive, happy way!

    Today is a good day..............no particular reason................just a good day.

    So far I have 10/100 listed - couldn't get turbo lister to work - keeps trying to connect to internet via my work internet, not good ole mozilla!!

    Lodged £270 into bank (was supposed to be £200, so the boy did good). Will pay some more cc early this month, just so I can see whats left for Richard - but I am sure he will get some extra this month and so I am a happy girly!

    Confession - bought some tray bakes - millionaires shortbread we call it. Its the shortbread, caramel and chocolate thing. £2.05 - very expensive I know but a girl needs a treat. Bad RMC for spending and for eating because in an attempt to push myself over the edge I am paying debt, losing weight and stopping smoking all at once!!!

    Speaking of smoking and the stopping of the same, I went to GP today and got me some Champix - so will pick my stop date this weekend and then I am good to go. I am hopeful this will lead to lots and lots of NSDs and then Richard will be GONERS!
