  • :)Dinah (& NIM!) I think the date night incentive is a fantastic one, you need time for you as a couple as well as you as debt busters!

    I very impressed with the 'no holiday' thing too and agree totally that NIM must go back home at LEAST once a year. Thats not a holiday its 'visiting' family:p.

    It's lovely to read that you are so positive.:j

    I love the confidence in your religion, Starnac. Personally I don't believe in any god, any heaven or any hell. I do think we're all energy, which I no doubt why I believe in ghosts and transfering energies like reincarnation in a way. But then who knows!

    I like how I'm writing all this while watching My Ghost Story. Straight after TAPs!

    Good thought on the holiday thing you two! I agree with the others though, you should still make time for a at home date night if you don't make the challenge.

    Rich has decided we're painting the kitchen this weekend. He wants to paint a big union jack on one wall so I'm leaving him to it and just painting the other spaces!

    You sure thats a good idea, i.e. can he do the lines right etc or will they be all wigilly wogilly?

    Just back from spending over an hour in tesco handing out leaflets for some new brand of lamb and my hands are FREEZING. Didnt bring gloves as I was fine with it last week, forgot that last week the chiller unit next to me wasnt working, it was this week :( Still 10 quids not bad for an hour and 10 minutes work.
    This was 6 months out of date so I've changed it.

    He seems to have a good plan of what to do. Measuring the wall, drawing it on with pencil then using tape ect. In all fairness, as pretty as our flag is our living room some how turned very patriotic without even meaning to so we're going to look bloody crackers.
    I hope he gets bored half way in, or he doesnt like the outcome so I can paint over it. Got to let him have his fun first! :rotfl:

    Hope you warm up okay NIM, get one of those soups in you! £10 is pretty awesome, that's what I got for my waitressing gigs which have dried up with people taking off to their holiday homes, dharling!

    Well done NIM! I love hallowe'en too. one year we spent it in New York and we walked around with the big parade. It was totally awesome :D Some of the costumes were amazing.

    Today I went to Oxford to visit a friend, we chatted about studies loads and went to a great seminar. It was pretty sweet. Because I study in a different city to my Uni, I'm always really lonely and don't get that nice community thing. So it was extra special.

    Greets to everyone!

    I can take or leave hollowe-en tbh. Used to be a good night out but the last couple times I was out things got messy so stayed in since I've known D.

    I miss that from Uni, you REALLY don't get that with an OU course.

    So feeling is back in my hands which is nice. :j

    One of the MS companies I work for specialise in Audits.

    I'm gonna put together a list of all the companies I'm with and how I find them, if you guys are thinking of signing up let me know cause a lot of them are doing referral fees now, one in particular pays me a quid every time someone I refer does a shop for them.
