So is "Diplomacy" your middle name then...

Well that depends ... have to balance the tendency to bend over backwards to avoid offending anybody with my limited attention span. Current solution for dilemmas is "There is a direct and a diplomatic answer to that question. Which would you prefer?"

Ah. Well. Not just the obvious ones about 'where am I going to move TO'

Well it's difficult to decide 'where' until you know 'when'.

and 'how am I going to go about debt busting'

With frivolity...

• My social life is in bits - the last year has been ridiculous even by my standards. How to fix this?

You send the word out that you're "available" once more.

Just because you're learning something, doesn't mean you need a qualification in it. Look on t'internet - there's plenty to learn, you just don't get (do you need?) a certificate at the end of it.

Or you can do a Hypno, and go on a Burlesque course...

• Make a start - just a handful - on the Shredding Stack. (The one that in theory is stopping anyone picking my personal info out of the bin, and in practice means any burglar could exit with most of my details in a carrier bag.)

I have the shredder next to where I open the mail. Garbage gets shredded instantly.

:rotfl: those might have to be a result rather than an input.


Payday :j transfers now made knocking £510 off the total and leaving £10,685 to go.

This is slightly less per month than I hope to manage for the next few, as need to cover petrol for Christmas-ish trip to relatives. It's mainly taken off the overdraft as decided that's priority. Was going to pay off the smallest CC instead, but as I don't know when or how much a deposit on a new place might be, decided safer to get rid of the OD and then if I do get stuck I can use that instead of running up the CC again. Hopefully this won't be needed as if I can get away with staying here til May ish then I will be able to cover any extra deposit.

Oh and that's apart from topping up savings for gifts, the car, and bills.


All other activity abandoned since viral infection -> two malfunctioning middle ears + 6 hr train journey = not happy bunny

"Prepare for the worst, hope for the best." OD capacity is more useful than CC.
