    So I've just taken a quick break for some Ice Cream and Chocolate Sauce...was going to have some Cereal but fancied something Sweet instead....Not a very healthy lunch though :o

    I'm currently up to £16....And I'm just about to Log On for the Afternoon Shift until 7pm....

    Wish me luck!!

    EDIT: Just saw your Post Mara hun...yep, it's going okay...Just logging on now xXx

    Hey Hun....Go on, have an Ice Cream....won't do you any harm....Your Lunch sounds YUM YUM!!!

    I was quite pleased with my £16...As you say, not bad for a morning Shift....I'm hoping for £34 this Afternoon to make it an even £50....And then of course I have 12 hours to look forward to tonight!!

    Tonight I WILL stay the 12 hours...regardless of if it goes quiet...I'm GOING to do 8pm until 8am....

    It's going okay this Afternoon....it's fairly steady so far....Which is good....

    How would it work if you made a list of everything due to be paid out this week,(on paper & keep it in front of you ) and stroke them off as you make the cash to pay them off. Remember to add in the weekly amounts towards the monthly payments too.

    Might pop around to the farm shop for icecream later, but would have to buy for all my staff ! lol

    That's not a bad idea actually hun...thank you....I'll do that when I start my Shift tonight at 8pm...and I'll keep it blue-tacked onto my Wardrobe so I can look at it every few minutes to keep me motivated....

    I have added in some Treat Money to this Week's Target (obviously the Bills come first though)...because I thought that having a Treat to aim for would give me MORE motivation....because then it's not just all bills, bills and more bills....

    Well, I'm up to nearly a tenner since Midday...not bad....I'll get there even if it HAS been a little slow this Afternoon...Steady but a little slow....

    Someone on here years ago had a big grid and each square was iirc £5 so she coloured them in as she paid the debt off - good incentive to see it filling up

    Just done ice cream and choc sauce for my son .....
