    I actually have work to do today!

    It means I can't waste time entering competitions, pretending to be busy but it also means the work portion of my day is going by quite quickly!

    And the sun has just come out! (but remember, if it didn't rain sometimes the plants wouldn't grow.)
    Can we pretend that aeroplanes in the night sky are like shooting stars, cause I could really use a wish right now...
  • I bought a bike today - a green and cheap way of seeing my clients and getting around working!

    Up yours, rising fuel costs!

    Hi
    I just done my PAD for this week and it's brought me just over 18% debt paid since my LBM on 14.10.10.

    Yay!

    And I am smiling!

    And the sun is glorious in Newcastle today!

    Sunny here, which means golf courses are drying out!

    I have had the first of my clients payments hit the bank today, so put money into savings and have paid another £100 off the credit card!
