**Daily Chat Thread 10th Sep 2010**EAT A FROG

Morning all.:j

Not started one for a while and I am off out in a bit to my training course in sales...:p

Your challenge for today is to eat a frog! Bookie will know what I mean. Do the one thing today that you have been meaning to do for ages but have been putting it off.

Apparently it doesn't get any easier to eat the longer you stare at the frog...so just eat it. As soon as you get up!

Have a nice day.....and lets be careful out there!

    Eat a frog is a new one on me, but I will aim to do my OU forms this evening as they've been here for weeks.

    Morning

    I have already been on the phone to my internet banking twice this morning, as my faster payments are being rejected. It seems there is a glitch in the system and hopefully it will be resolved later today!

    I am pleased it is Friday - off to Centre Parcs on Monday, so lots to do over the weekend including getting my job application finished.

    I have so many frogs to eat Sammy, that I am not sure where to start.......

    Morning all. I ate a few frogs last weekend so please may I be excused Sammy?? :D

    It's free listing this weekend on eBay so I really must learn how to do this. Actually, that is most definitely my worst frog so I will join you lot after all. I'm off today and, apart from going to Mr Ts, the day is mine so I will read up on how to list things and take some photos of what I would like to sell. Then Sunday I will put it on and sit back and watch the money roll in. Hope I do it right.....

    really....it's not hard to understand :T
