Thursday's Grabbing it by the balls Daily Chat

Morning,

Can you tell I'm feeling a bit bullish at the moment:D

I have a stinking headcold. The fact that I got out of bed this morning and came to work anyway is testament to how much better I'm feeling and how much I enjoy going to work.

I challenge EVERYONE to do one additional thing to reduce their debt today (even by 1p), be it a food plan, an extra NSD or whatever. I'm going for a NSD - I have brought lunch with so there's NO EXCUSE

:p

    Morning Luc and those who follow

    Hope the cold clears up quickly.

    Debt wise today - Ebay sales money hit the account this morning so I've just paid £325 off of the debt.

    Need to go shopping later for a sleepover weekend for DD2 but that's budgeted for.....Couldn't find any c0cktail recipes that didn't include stuff I know won't get used again so have made some up....printed out a bar menu with a "glee" theme so I'm sure she'll like it. Need to make the cake later this afternoon - well, not so much cake but ice-cream bomb...nice and easy just need to find room in the freezer for it.

    Hmmm - I really should think about Ebay. We've got loads of stuff we could sell...

    wish i could join you all today but my bloody cars glove box handle has snapped off and it appears that its gonna cost about £30 to get a new one - once and if i can get back into the damned thing.

    really why is nothing seeming to go right for me at the moment - if you cant guess i am feeling really down today and just totally fed up so i will keep my input to a minimum and just try and get on with my work instead of brooding on what can not be changed

    oh and just to top things off just got an email from my wife one of our fish has died :( i really am hating to think what the third thing is going to be
    Drop a brand challenge
    on a £100 shop you might on average get 70 items save
    10p per product = £7 a week ~ £28 a month
    20p per product = £14 a week ~ £56 a month
    30p per product = £21 a week ~ £84 a month (or in other words one weeks shoping at the new price)

    Good luck at the hospital Gemmzie.

    Gonzo - sod £30 I'd remove the catch and either tape it closed or take the door off. Don't sit there brooding though - we're here to support each other.

    Elfen - Good luck with the asthma nurse.

    SRM - I take it you've contact the police and authorities about the missing pass? Royal Mail only ever seem to loose important stuff.

    Waiting for it to stop ruddy raining so I can get out. :mad:
