    Hey all... just checking in! I managed until about 3am before going to bed!

    I guess its wait and see time.... I can see another election within 6 months....

    Not a lot of money making done today as I am a very tired bunny and just got back from a sausage sizzle at beavers....

    I have decided to apply for a job in sales but based from home. It for a local free magazine / paper type thing for 20 hours a week. I will still work on the website but we need the cash coming in now to help clear a little cc debt, we need a new sofa (its 10 years old, creaks when you sit on it and even the covers under the covers have holes!), we also need a new fridge, new freezer and a new dishwasher! All costs money. It will be a struggle with the website but decisions have to be made.

    How is everyone else today?

    I see you are having a bad day NLID... chin up....something will happen!

    Jo - hows the head?

    Mabel - you feel okay about reducing the dose??

    EM - Hello!!

    hhh & Amber - HELLO!!!!

    Ha ha nice one Cagne!

    Hi Mambury...using the words sausage and beaver in the same sentence is asking for trouble! Good luck with the job application.
    Yeah I'm ok with cutting dose- will see how it goes I can always go up again.

    Still stuck on mini move...ahh I know I have to order some more crystals so I can make the necklace/ bracelet to go with the earrings and pendant I've already made. I'll order them now...it's a very mini mini move but it needs to be done!

    :rotfl::rotfl:

    I hadn't done my mini move yesterday as head hurt too much to think of it and was getting to point of not doing one today but I have been putting off sorting some of our finances out so I posted on a board here for advice and that is my mini move. And finally sorting my phone out as seems silly to be paying out monthly when half the time my phone just switches off even when fully charged.
    so not what I might have chosen but definitely things I have been avoiding and hopefully at least on will save us money and speed up debt repayments.

    They're good ones to do Jo as the post on here will bring long term rewards and the phone is something immediately rewarding. I liked yesterday's mini move as it's great to imagine where we might be at the end of the year. I did the thing from the secret (i think? or maybe mckenna?) where you imagine cheques coming through the letter box - since i've done that i've had six cheques this year. I've not had any for the last few years before that. Obviously i've had to make it happen and they've not come magically but it's still encouraging to see the rewards.
