    Hiya p

    Yes, my evening out is tomorrow - a rare Friday night in for me, bit of a treat, but I've just fiddled around really, thought I'd do more stuff. Ah well, we can't be doing all the time. Thanks for the congrats at getting under £10k. I've cut down *so* much, its become such a way of life for me, I don't make excuses any more, I just say, I can't afford it, I'm poor, etc. Anything, just stop bugging me to spend that money!

    Off to ............ Bedfordshire, ta-da! It may become a phrase we all know and love! Have a good sleep too.

    well i have to say i am sat here feeling physically sick, very very sad and amazed at how cruel us humans can be. I stumbled across a website www.hillside.org.uk, which is an animal sanctuary near to us in norfolk.

    They have carried out undercover investigations on farms in norfolk and i can't believe how humans treat gods fellow creatures. Workers playing bat and ball with live turkeys, a bull so deep in it's own slurry it can't move and has to be dug out. When will the human race EVER learn that this world we live in is a gift and one we are destroying with our own callousness and self importance.
    Any living creature on this earth be it human or animal deserves to be treated with tenderness or dignity, it just makes me so sad.

    Anyway sorry, just needed to release that one before going off to bed(fordshire!)

    Sweetdreams karma glad you've had a relaxing night in and lol at the bedfordshire comment!! P xx

    oh my god. I don't think I could've gone on that site, pania. I've been a vegetarian for 20 years now, and things like that make me very glad that I am.

    Off the site in another 5 mins - hope all of that didn't distress you so much that you didn't sleep, its really horrible. But have a good day today.

    Hello one and all, i'm at work!! Yawn!! well have managed to find even cheaper news on the mobile phone side! wahey! can get 1250 minutes for £40 on a 2 year contract with orange. I'll keep my sim card i currently have which has £35 for free unlimited texts and 400 minutes which i can use for my personal calls keeping them seperate from work based calls.
    So a total of £75 per month which is much better than £92 and massively improved on £270!!!! I know some will say this is still really high however it is an essential part of work and if i could get work to pay for it i would.

    I have completed my £50 mystery shop now so that will be extra for the pot. I received my commission statement from work and great news provi should be bye byes at the end of the month!! I have got to bring myself back from our great fun blow out month this month and start making in road into this debt. Now the comission has started coming i should be able to get it down significantly over the next few months. yay go me! (I hope!)

    Anyway, best get on with some work!!!! xx

    That's great news - counting the days til you can chop another debt off the scope. Well done on the contract as well. That's a massive improvement.
    This year I'm getting organised once and for all, and going to buy a house with my wonderful other half. And that' s final!

  • Afternoon P! Good work on the mobile, and I bet you can't wait to get rid of the Provi. I don't envy you being at work on a Saturday, although it might be preferable to the hangover I've got today :o Know what you mean about reigning yourself in again after spending - it's so easy to get into the habit of it. I've just had my holiday and then a big payday shopping splurge (mostly necessary stuff but still far more than I usually spend :eek:) so am having to force myself back into the DFW way of thinking - am now off to write my debt cheques and do some meal planning! Have a good day x

    Hi P, I hope you are having a good weekend.

    Good news about the mystery shop, and lets hope the Blackberry does its thing in getting you organised. No more being late for clients 7_6_8.gif

    have a good day - we are off to the ski club - fab competitions going on there - won't be competing today but well worth watching. Similar to when you were down last year, but they have upped the insurance, so they can do inverted flips off the big jumps!! Woo hoo!!!
