    First of all hands up people who are accountants and work in a university? There seems to be as many of us here as there are people who live in Fife (is there an interesting subsection of accountants who live in Fife?)

    I work in accounts but not in a Uni or in Fife :D

    OK, that was an easy one for me - my most recent tipping point was when OH left me earlier in the year, with the knowledge that keeping the roof over our heads lays with me and no one else.

    Certainly focused the mind, hurtful, draining, anger inducing, but with this amazing effect of "I can do this" attached.

    8 months on, another £15000 off the debt, and yes, I bloody well can do this :D

    scaredy_cat - thank you for that, I am in my 30ties and already feel old!!!! :eek: Been thinking about changing what I do for living but have not found the courage to do anything about it yet. Not sure what I could do and the cost scares me a lot, too. Been out of work for a few months now, it's absolutely dreadful. Also, our house's been on the market for 8 months now and no offers, it's so scary, if we don't sell like within a month or two, the bank will probably take it. Don't fancy ending up on the street at my age.

    I just logged on for a quick update on everyone's achievements and saw your post baking mama.

    Today's secret scroll is especially for you;
    Ask, Believe, Receive - just three simple steps to create what you want. However, very often the second step, believe, can be the most difficult one. And yet it is the greatest step you will ever take. Believing contains no doubt. Believing does not waiver. Believing is absolute faith. Believing remains steadfast despite what is happening in the outside world.
    When you master believing, you have mastered your life.

    I think you definately deserve a glass of wine (or two) - I'll be sending your flyers out Monday - hopefully you'll get a few more orders to keep you busy.

    So today is my last full day in London before I head off to Kampala tomorrow eve. My friends have made a really big effort to see me and give me a nice send-off so I am feeling very loved :D Here's to the next 8.5 weeks of PhD fieldwork.
