    Hey hunni, Hows the day going ? Plenty of calls I hope ! Must be good to be able to break up your 8 hour working day into manageable chunks, I think we should adopt the continental habit of a wee siesta after lunch !!

    Quick lunch break here, never manage to get the "lunch hour" whatever that looks like ! So munching my sandwich while doing important stuff on the computer . (or at least thats what it looks like if anyone pops into my office !! ) Not a low Calorie day today ... my willpower has run off down the plughole in the shower, I did try to catch it, but it was slippery !! Goshdarn it!
    Its just a bad day, Not a bad life .. :cool:

    Hey Sweetie....Hope you've managed to catch your willpower again....you need it to get you through the Weekend!! Go GRAB it with both hands and don't let go - Even if it wiggles!! LoL.... :rotfl:

    Work-day going fine so far....am finished for now....going to sleep for a few hours this Afternoon and then Work the all-nighter....if I get some sleep then I should be okay to do the all-nighter....Going to start around 6pm....

    It IS nice to be able to choose when I work but its also hard to stay motivated to actually DO the work...if that makes sense...but I'm getting MUCH better at it now....

    Been reading the Threads on DFW to stay motivated and know that I'm paying my Debts off and I know that's really important....I'm slowly paying my Debts off....All 3 of my PDL's will be paid off by August....then another 2 Debts (my Catalogues) will be paid by mid-september...so they are slowly going down....at least the little Debts are going down anyway...which is at least a good start...

    Still feeling positive....which is great....Just hope it continues to get me through what is looking like a busy Weekend....

    Morning Everyone..... :D

    Well I've been Working for several hours.....still feeling wide awake and positive....although it HAS gone quiet on the Lines at the moment but it will get busier as the Guys wake up wanting to Chat....

    I've still got another £34 to make before I can quit for the day....so I'm hoping to be done by Midday....or 1pm at the latest so I can get a couple of hours sleep before my Shopping Delivery between 4pm and 5pm and then my Work tonight....

    I'm still feeling really really positive so far....I've earned more this Week than I've earned in ANY Week over the past 6 months....so I'm really really pleased with myself....I've Worked loads this Week and it feels like it's really sinking in that I HAVE to Work to survive AND get those little extra treats...and I'm prepared to do that....

    Morning Missus :D glad to hear you're still going strong ! I guess what you said about disciplining yourself to work is true, I know I have to be in the office at certain times and there's nothing I can do about that, so I get my 40 hours done. I'm not so good at making best use of time at home, house work is neglected in favour of more interesting things, lol . I work outside on the farm sometimes too, and that's more attractive than ironing or mopping floors !
    Today the sun is shining, so I will go hang out some washing, very quick blitz in the bathroom, ignore the ironing pile, and read my book in the garden ! :rotfl::rotfl:
    Have a good day, hit that target, then go on for another hour and blow the extra earnings on something shiny ! X

    Glad you're feeling positive. Went into Colchester today and they have got model giraffes everywhere to celebrate 50 years of Colchester Zoo :) Definitely brightened up the place, but there was an EDL march going on so didn't hang around too long to see the ones in the park :(

    I AM still going strong....although I have a HUGE Target for the next 24 hours and I'm not sure how I'm going to get there...Just have to try my hardest I guess....but in the end I can only do what I can do....

    Hope you enjoyed your day hun....

    Yeah, they had one of those at the entrance to Colchester Zoo and it was lovely....Something about a "Get Tall" Campaign but I'm not sure what it's about....

    So, am up to Work the Night Shift....feeling like I really really don't want to Work but I have to...so I guess I am just going to have to do my best and Work as hard as I can and just KEEP GOING....

    So last night I worked from Midnight until 5am straight without a break.....felt really good....like I had put in some serious Work....even though it was only 5 hours....And I got rewarded because I earned nearly £50 during that time which I'm really pleased with....

    Managed to get some sleep from about 5.15am until 8am....and now I'm up and ready to Work again....

    Got £90 still to earn....not sure if I'm going to do it but I'm going to bloody well try as hard as I can to get there!! Could take 12 hours or so....so we'll see what happens....

    But I'm feeling pleased with myself this morning....

    :j:j:j yeahhhh to your hard nights work !

    I'm just back in after spending the morning on a tractor, I enjoy it really but don't tell hubby cos he will want me to do more of it !

    The afternoon is going to be spent catching up on paperwork while I wait for delivery of my new bed. We built this house, and slowly are getting it decorated. It's taken 5 years, but the last bedroom has just been finished , so only the hallways and conservatory to go, but I've run out of inspiration, and cash tbh ! So, the new bed is because my sister and her brood are due to come for a holiday shortly, I already have the new bedding as I had a serious mishap involving a credit card and Dunelm Mill ! So fun in dressing the room later :D

    Another non lazy Sunday here !

    So, you just sit back with a big glass of vino ang enjoy your afternoons nattering ! ... Strange question .? Do you ever get women calling you ? X

    Wow Mara....that's soooooooo cool to ride a Tractor....I'd love that!! Although I'm not much of a nature-girl as I don't like Cows, Horses, Sheep (anything that can bite basically :D) and I don't like grass as it makes me sneeze....and I don't like bugs....

    So I don't think I'd be much use on a farm.... :rotfl:

    I'm doing okay so far....Still just over £100 to do....I thought I only had £90 to do but I didn't....so unfortunately I've got to try and do £100 in the next 11 hours....not sure how that's going to Work but I'll give it a damn good try and hope for the best!!

    We DO get Women calling every now and again but I always am suspicious of them because I think that a lot of them are just women that are testing out the Line because they want to Work for us and want to see what's it is like....or want to steal my idea's....

    See the thing is - You have to have a "hook"...something that hooks the Guys in and makes them interested....I've got a really good one (not going to say what it is here) and it means that I never really have to wait long between Calls so that's great....AND it's something that I know a lot about so I can be genuine in Chatting about it....

    Some Girls just want to discover what my hook is and that's why I'm suspicious about some of the Ladies that call us....

    But some ARE genuine I think...and are married and have never experienced another Woman and just want to know a bit of what it would be like....I don't mind speaking with Women...doesn't bother me in the slightest when I think they are genuine....

    Sorry....that was a long waffly answer :D

    I don't drink (or very rarely anyway) so I've got my long tall glass of Dr Pepper here....and the TV on....and I sit and watch all the things that I didn't have time to watch during the Week...I have put them on my TiVo Box....great little thing that is....and it's my one indulgence....I like to have good TV with most of the Channels....except I don't have Movies or Sport...but that's because I spend a LOT of time at home and I will make sacrifices in order to have good TV....

    So there you have it....

    I'm taking a break at the moment but am logging back in at 1pm for the duration....might take little breaks throughout the afternoon so I can scream into a pillow LoL :rotfl: But apart from that I'm on all Afternoon and Evening....
