    Hi all,
    Back from Beer Festival. Very pleased with my outfit, which has now become my face on facebook. Very very pleased to spend 5 days with the man. Pining gently now:(

    This is my thought process too Bunny. £800 not bad compared to £4300!

    I need to focus my mind next on getting a part-time job.

    Morning all :wave:

    Challenge 10? !!!!!!? Is that what you're thinking.

    I challenge you all to do something positive involvling '10' towards debtbusting or gutbusting today. It could be:

    10minutes to write a 'debt be gone' to do list
    10pence paid off a credit card
    10minutes exercise
    10items listed on ebay

    you get the idea?

    Today I have done 10minutes extra in the gym and oaid an extra £10 off thr HBoS overdraft:A:money::rotfl:

    What a fab idea :D

    I am going to do 10 minutes of sit-ups and put all my 10p's in my change pot :)

    Elfen, don't bottle it up, just let it out and then it's done and gone.

    I've done ten minutes of sorting through piles of paperwork, having a rest and I'll do some more in a bit.
    Unless I say otherwise 'you' means the general you not you specifically.

    I'll let it out in my own way, it'll either help or hinder jogging tomorrow.
