Could I have gone by hovercraft to Milliport from Largs? Went somewhere from somewhere :rotfl:.
Belfast from Troon? Can't think of any other hovercrafts but they might have tried something out at some point?nattypants wrote: »Which one's the stoney one again?

It's funny that you want a more people focused career ~ that's exactly what I want to get away from!! :rotfl: Spent too long working with some not very nice clients.
Relatives are in Irvine
Ohhhh I used to live there
I'm also in a person centred work environment ... Wouldn't mind getting out of it either lol0 -

1. Over pay £1000 - we'll see how that goes...:p mmm... I'll be pushing it!
2. Declutter! Have too many clothes and shoes that are NEVER worn, even if they go to a charity shop at least they won't be here clutter the place up. Nope all still cluttering.
3. Enjoy life, leave thoughts of ex in 2012 and MOVE ON!!!:o
Lol, failed with that one eh? But he has changed a lot!
4. Do half marathon, and find a cheapish one to enter! Looked at Edinburgh rock n roll one but really early start and entrance fee quite high... Have only entered 10K so far but still on track for half in October.
5. Finish off decorating...this mainly means sort out kitchen really:D After exams in May...
6. Spend more time with friends in RL and stop being so lazy and just texting them:o I've been doing well at this one and enjoying it lots.
7. Pass college course. ok so far
8. Keep food budget down but still eat healthy food (most of the time:p) Budget ok but have started eating more rubbish at college - must sort that one.
Thought I would have a wee look back at aims for the year - looking for millport pic!Mortgage OP 2025 £7050/7000Mortgage OP 2024 £7700/7000
