OH has been signed off with depression *sigh* since when did being a lazy sod = depression?? Bone idol more like. He's down about his weight but will he exercise? No! Will he eat healthily? No.
Sorry to those who suffer from real depression, im just venting!It can hit you different ways, I had the stuffing knocked out of me like that once years back, and now I'm apparently suffering again due to my injuries, but this time is very different to the last time - although I'm adamant I'm not depressed :rotfl:but the scale says I am and both counsellors worry about me as I have a lot of associated troubles, despite me telling them I'm going to make it to 120 yrs old
Well I have a benchmark for my wages now, I got paid a princely sum of £236 this month and our food bill came to £265 so clearly that has to change!! Anyway, this means anything I get paid over that at work will be a bonus and will go into the challenge, although not physically as we have to survive somehow!!! :eek: I've had my weekly review with my line manager today, which is turning into my weekly nag to let me have some more hours!!! Unfortunately they are very scared about giving me too much too quick so it's a very very sloooooow frustrating process :mad: I'm sneaking in some extra hours as much as I can but I'm being paid at the lowest rate and not my normal higher rate
I've done 3 mystery shops this month..........but only 2 count cos I forgot to put the memory card in the camera :mad:
So now I am trying my hand at bingo...............spot the bingo virgin!!!:o:o I didn't know you had to buy free tickets so totally missed that game :rotfl::rotfl:DOH!!!

Doh well Costa isn't letting this newbie win
I've got the sound on so I can hear when the game is done and I can set another one off.........we're now drowning it out with a bit of Beady Eye

Hi Folks,
Coming to this late but would definitely like to have a stab at the £11k challenge. Lots of good ideas in this thread and inspiration to be found in what's being achieved.
Currently out of work (but fingers crossed following an interview yesterday) and have been selling on Etsy and Amazon to try and bring in a few pounds. Also got a tax rebate last week that I've included in my total.
Will look into all the options that this thread has opened my eyes to!“This isn't life in the fast lane, it's life in the oncoming traffic.” - Terry PratchettDebt Target - £0 Target Date - January 2015eo 07/13 - £23,080 eo 08/13 - £21,084 eo 09/13 - £20,347 eo 10/13 - £19,5550
