Thanks for checking up on me things are going quite well had a lovely meet up with KC and Gill on Sunday although we did get a bit wet and windswept references to the three witches in the scottish play were made
My half yearly payday is approaching and I expect cc debt to go under 9K in the next few weeks down from 89K at its highest in Aug 05 and from 69K at LBM in Sep 08 I can't remember when it was last at that level
I have given up on the job hunting front it is just not happening and realistically with the way things are at home a full time job is no longer feasible so back to look at other ways to up the income as we still have a huge mortgage to tackle most of which is interest only - but I need to do something that is worth my time I don't want to spend hours scratting around for pennies I have done that and I need to move on to something better - but still not sure what - finding something to sell on a regular basis would be good but spotting a niche market is not easy and there is a lot of competition out there brain engaged but nothing coming out as yet
