    Well done on the win, Reddie! :D

    And not a bad idea for the football-related wares. Not just cupcakes, mind, but what about gingerbread football players?! ;)

    Part of the Furniture Combo Breaker
    When our footie team made it to the play offs, then a lot of the cake shops/bakers were selling cup cakes with the team colours on.
    Now we are in the premiership and tangerine is the colour ;)

    Good Morning

    Sadly no, didn't make it back to work, toes are very sore today. The pain woke me several times in the night, but I guess that is to be expected since until Sunday I hadn't really walked on them. Will give it another day or two and see how I am. I am very bored and want to get back to work ASAP.

    Paid today - so more debts paid off - must update sigs.

    Of course already we are short of money, only one chq arrived today which makes things tough yet again but at least I can start phoning round.

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

    Yes to both honey!

    Debt down on both challenges - total of £9674.98 paid since march 2010, so just under £2000 per month. Had hoped business debt would be considerably lower but sadly, no! But hopefully it will down to £6000 by end of Sept and then I will just be paying that monthly for a while.
