    I was exhausted just reading about what you were doing yesterday! Don't know where you get your energy from.
    Proud to be dealing with my debts,

    C - it literally took me two hours - honest - Mrs R is right. I did an hour at a time and didn't stop and got so much done. I think before I was stopping and starting and thats why it took all day to clean the joint!

    And so it is Monday................

    Pay day on Thursday. An ok month bill wise............and the last of my mega tight ones. Next month I will get expenses again which hopefully will allow me to budget the pennies, something I have not yet had the opportunity to do!

    BIG meeting in work today, which could set me on the path to a new job (somewhat down the line, I have to say) I am well rehearsed and know what I have to do, so it will be ok.

    Happy Monday All

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

    Whoops, sorry I think I mislead you all.......................the meeting was only stage one in what could take 2 years!!!!!!!!! No money and all that. However, it went very well and the person we needed to impress (who will ultimately be the one to decide that a job should be created) was extremely positive and saw the work definately needed doing, he just hasn't the money to pay for it. So we keep going and hope that spending review allows some flexibility. I am happy with that.

    Stage one of a 2 year plan is a pretty good starting point :D
