Awww, thank you C-R and wegle!
I would really love to be rid of the debt early next year.......it will require some major cash injection from somewhere but I won't say it's impossible.....stranger things have happened! I am hopeful for October though so thanks for the positive vibes from you both. xx
And on that note, the MOT Gods were watching out for me today - passed with no issue so that's a big sigh of relief from moi!

the golden rule? always check all your lights before going in!!
I failed mine on a faulty brake light once (amongst other things!) - went home wiggled it in the light fixture and then worked again!
yay! Also then repaired own brake caliper! imagine C-R in her overalls and covered in oil and grease! oh yeah!!!!
Money saving rocks!

Rofl! C-R, for some reason I have no issue conjuring that image up .....:DCredit Card Freedom gained 14 Feb 2014!!Total Debt Freedom gained 29 Apr 2014!!Savings goal 30/9/23: £72,000/£538,001.....yes I'm serious!Total Debt August 2013: [STRIKE]$21,587[/STRIKE] April 2014: $0!!!!:j0 -
Well, it looks set to be a rough couple of days with problems at the office. Ah well. I am a very bubbly person and it takes a lot to make me cross but mission accomplished! So tomorrow will start with a rocky discussion. Sometimes you have to face the negative before you can return to the positive. And I have reached negativity critical mass!!
On a positive note, I plan on winning the lottery tonight so it will be a moot point!
Hope everyone is having an awesome debt busting month so far....just 2 days in! I am still hoping for a roadkill find on my way home from the station.

Well, sitting here polishing off breakfast and a cup of tea before donning my tin hat and heading for the office. Oh the joys of managing an all female team! I have a million things to do today......tomorrow.....into eternity.....:D.......but we will get there in the end and the team will be happier for it.
I don't have anything in the pipe work today for money saving so I guess it's just going to be a super hunt for roadkill at every opportunity!

did you win the lottery last night HOK3Y?!!

Good luck with work today - sure you'll pull it around! Positivity rocks!
I might go looking for roadkill today - taking a trip to the City so there should be dropped and forgotten ten pound notes floating across the pavements round there right? :rotfl::rotfl:

Well, it went down like the lead balloon I was expecting but it had to be said. Expecting some retaliation tomorrow in the form of a snotty letter of complaint against me. This is apparently how it normally goes. Well, tomorrow is Friday and she'll have a hard time bursting my happy bubble. I have already resolved to find it entertaining and I have senior managements confidence. So, bring it on!
As for me, I had a decent day and am very thankful for the extra five pounds the Universe handed to me this morning. Going to have a nice chilled evening with the hubby. Love and positivity to all my fellow DFW sisters!
