Its not very special and lots of other people do it but thankfully not as many as jewellery I am waiting to see whether they turn out OK before launching in case it turns out not to be my thing but its something I enjoy doing won't make me a fortune but could be a decent sideline - thats all I am prepare to say :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

Wow, DT! Fantastic aims, to pay £1000 a month off the debt, and have a new craft, and retrain in the legal arena. And all that in one day! Gill is right, btw, once you have a target, you don't mess around - thinking of the weight and the clothes here

It is OK having aims but you have to achieve them
I have set aims before and failed miserably been reading some old posts and it is not good reading I haven't achieved any of my debt repayment aims for so long now the weight loss is the one success I am clinging on to but fortune has to change eventually and it is not through a lack of trying or going off the MSE wagon it is just circumstances that I have not been able to control.
Just been looking at the olympic challenge aim set was to pay off £32K before the olympics :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl: no chance - I know the debt has gone up since then not down I need to add it all up so I can figure out where I am going but at least I am still trying

There's often a bit of a gap between the aim and the doing, isn't there
my current lifestyle was never an aim of mine, thats for sure. 2023: the year I get to buy a car0 -
What a bad day just heard half of the Formula 1 live races next season are only to be on sky sports no longer have sky and never had sky sports as I only ever watch F1 so am never going to pay for sky sports just for that - so going to have to avoid all news etc. and watch the highlights but just not the same as seeing it live - that will be even less TV I watch I wouldn't care if we did without it altogether

There is still time till the Olimpics - do not loose heart. Still possible and you never know what is behind the corner. It may be a job that pays enough to do that.
