Just popping on to say hi

Fortune do you have any advice on taking minutes (not sure whether you still take them as I'm still reading your fab diary) - I also take minutes as part of my job and I hate them !

The way I take them varies between shorthand (i'm not up to speed anymore) and note taking but I've yet to achieve a set of minutes without listening to the back-up recording I have

I'm also wondering if you still use Sw*gbuc*s - I've not heard of it before and was intrigued?

Best wishes

Hi Tcal


I use mind maps for taking minutes - they suit the way my brain works http://www.tonybuzan.com/about/mind-mapping/. The key thing for me is to type the minutes up as soon as possible after the meeting - so easy for me to forget what's been said otherwise.


I don't use $wagbuck$ any more. They are a survey site where you can earn points to exchange for vouchers. I found I was getting screened out more often than not and it just wasn't worth the time and effort. I think others have had more success though - it's worth asking around on the Forum.


Take care

I've had all my hair cut off :eek: It's been shoulder length and the same style for the last eight years. Now it's short and choppy :eek: I like the style and think it suits me but it might take some getting used to.


In MS news:


Money Making:

• worked yesterday and took on an additional tour so more hours claimed
• booked in some further tour dates.

Money Saving:

• my new jacket arrived and I luuuuuurve it. Not sure that qualifies as money saving though
• have been living on Monday's leftovers as Mr F is away
• bought a waterproof hat for work. Shopped around to get the best price and free postage
• does having shorter hair save on water and shampoo?

Home Improvement/Maintenance:

• does it count that Mr F is away and the house is staying tidy?

Health:

• lots of walking yesterday
• have succumbed to a chocolate craving One box of malt£z£r$... yes, you heard right - One. Whole. Box

Lilies:

• malt£z£rS
• the new jacket (I may sleep in it tonight)
• cool evenings leading to a good night's sleep
• a glittery pedicure.

I've been able to treat myself a bit more since I've taken on the new job but I'm still asking those essential questions:

• Will I use it?
• Is it worth it?
• Have I checked prices elsewhere?

They really help me make the most of my money.


Friday's coming!

Hi Fortune, huge savings with short hair - less water, shampoo, conditioner, time :rotfl:

Lovely post to read, Tilly x x

Thanks for the link Fortune - I will have a read and will look into Sw*gbucks a bit further also

That's brave of you to go for a new look - but I think change is always positive

Happy new hair

Have just put our figures into a Budget calculator and we'll be about £1k a year worse off, according to that. But it was a rough calculator.
