    Hey shovel lad, it was the queen elizabeth, heading for reykjavik , saw her blue bottom once she got closer. We use the ship ais site to identify the shipping, there is an awful lot of it passes by here.

    Quite fancy a trip to Norway since our islands were once part of Norway ... However, my nephew is there just now and says that beer is £12 + for a pint ... So maybe it will be a sober trip !

    Have you done a few cruises then ?
    Yes, been on a few cruises. The last one was to Norway and I am hoping to go again soon.
    Norway is very popular at this time of the year and everywhere you go there is at least one other cruise ship.
    Norway is expensive - definitely cheaper to buy alcohol on the ship. Depends who you go with obviously - some offer free alcohol :D some charge pub prices.
    I'd be lying if I said I haven't ordered room service to take with me ashore...:p:D
    Morning Shovel Lad...hope you're well....
    S
    Afternoon :wave:

    All good here thank you.
    I am still stalking you and keeping track of how you're doing ;)

    Hi Shovel Lad :beer:

    Thank you for stalking me....It's much appreciated...and I am doing well so far....Just in the middle of taking a break right now....Logging back on at 5pm....

    Tesco's actually came on time for once...and they actually had all the Items that I ordered, no substitutions...so that's good...

    I've had something to eat...so I'm all sorted...Just chilling out for half an hour before starting again as I'm on for the next several hours and just need a break for a short while....

    Let's hope tonight is a busy one....I still have about £195 to make before tomorrow night...which is going to be REALLY hard....so I have to try my hardest to get there....

    Okey Dokey....Just about to Log back on....Not sure what time I'm working until....The Night Shift depends on whether it is busy or not....I'd like to work straight through until morning but if it's not busy then it's better to go to bed and start again in the morning....

    Hoping for a busy Shift...xXx

    Okay, so I have made 61p so far :( I think there is just a HUGE amount of Girls logged on and so no one is coming to talk to me....

    Have had another look at my Budget and managed to tweak it a little bit more....because I have to be realistic, It's nigh on impossible to make £195 between now and tomorrow night...bearing in mind that I have to get some sleep in there somewhere....

    So, I now have £105 still left to earn which feels more manageable....

    My Regular is definitely not coming on tonight as he has other Plans for the whole Evening....So I'm going to try and get a few hours sleep now....then log back on at Midnight....and work pretty much right through until tomorrow Evening (with food and loo breaks)....that way I can Work when it's the best paid times and Sunday Pay....

    So - Going to sleep now...I'll be back at Midnight for the Night Shift....When there should be a LOT less Ladies logged on!! I hope!!

    Still feeling positive but starting to struggle a little....I'll keep the momentum up, just got to remember WHY I'm doing this - To pay my Bills EVERY WEEK and to pay my Debts off....

    Next Thursday I will be paying QuickQuid off completely so that's one gone....and the following Week I will have paid Wonga off...so that's another one gone....Yesterday I paid Next Credit off...so that's another one....so I AM getting there slowly....

    See you all later on when I shall hope its a lot busier xXx

    Seventh Anniversary Debt-free and Proud!
    Hey you :) by the time you wake up, ill be dancing the night away at a wedding dance.

    I know you must be feeling a wee bit demoralised but just stop, look how well youve done this week .... You need to be proud of yourself.
    You can see the debts going down. Now that next is gone, that is "spare" money to throw at the next debt. I hope Crimsons spreadsheet is helping you to focus.

    You have already earned more this week than you have in a long time, and youre not finished yet ! If youre working more daylight hours, you will probably pick up some new regulars for those hours too.

    Youre a special person, i admire how youve knuckled down and gotten on with this fight. You can do it, and you can win ..... Theres a trip to Scotland riding on this remember ! xXX
    Its just a bad day, Not a bad life .. :cool:

    Morning Everyone.....

    Well it's been COMPLETELY and UTTERLY dead overnight....I've almost lost the will to live....

    I'm only on £411...so I've earned £11 all night!!! It's just ridiculous....

    But hey....At least I've earned SOMETHING....and I DO still have all day to earn the rest....so fingers crossed!!

    I'm taking a short break at the moment....Going to log back in at 7am which is in one short minute....Hopefully the Guys will have woken up and it will be better....

    Trying to stay positive but struggling!! But I'll get there....

    EDIT: But the one good thing is that I have made my first tenner on the Text Chat....so that's a good thing...was buzzing on the Texts throughout the Night!!

    Hey Helen, hopefully it will be busier today for you on the phones, but glad that the texting is going so well. You still have all today to earn money for this week, so good luck.

    I actually went to a friends house for drinks last night. I am feeling sooooo hungover, as I don't usually drink that much. I think that today is going to be a bit of a write-off!
