    Give it time if you continue with this debt busting at the same pace you will be drawing a wage before you know it, you call it Reds treat money

    Decided to leave ironing and beds until tomorrow evening, thats my new year challenge to myself, 30 minutes housework a night! So apart from dishes and tidying kitchen I will do something, be it ironing, tidying a room etc. I suppose its my own method of flylady! I want to do this because I don't want to give up my entire weekend to housework. Spring is coming and I want to really focus on my garden this year!

    HWG you are right, and I should take a little something for myself even if it is only £20 weekly!

    There is no point in negative thought, it takes up time and energy which could be used in a positive, happy way!

    How Irish can you get, Reddie?! :rotfl:

    And can you see the Emerald Isle from Blackpool on a good day, Taxi? ;)

    I had 3 weeks holiday in December and my boss is onto me about having more in the next month or two! :eek: I'd rather save it for when I actually want it, thanks!
