  • Good morning friends,

    How are we all today? It all lovely and sunny here, we must make the most of it as tomorrow looks decidedly wet! I have just made an £800 OP :):) using DH dividend. I've not done the full £1k just in case we need some extra this week but if it goes unused an extra OP will be made at the end of the week :):T

    Signature updated, cup of :coffee: needed

    ATB's motto for the day "If you want to stand out, don't be different, be outstanding"

    Have lovely days folks xxx:):)

    Love the motto!

    With airbnb, there's someone on here, I think its MrsE, who already does it, she sleeps in her children's room when she has guests - just to be on the safe side. Just remembered, so I thought I'd better share.

    With Airbnb - Jimlad also does this - I don't think he will mind me sharing this - very helpful he was when I was thinking about it, I had loads of questions. :)

    Going by his bookings - he and his wife (Miss Willow - on here) are very successful. :T

  • Hi friends,

    How is everyone? Thank you to you all for your words of support and popping in to *see* me. I was feeling a bit glum earlier as there is a long way to go on our mini-challenge. So, I have broken it down into chunks and we need to OP £91.74 per day to hit our target in November...

    Sooo, guess what I'm going to do now - yep, make an OP of that amount, update my signature and get some stuff on ebay! Happy Thursday folks xx :):)

    Good stuff!

    ATB, its really hit home quite how young you are (maybe it has before, oops, sorry) but you know you're doing incredibly well. Your goal is high, as it should be, and you're going to have to work hard to reach it, which you are doing - this is a life changing thing that you're in the middle of, and guess what, you're succeeding!

  • ATB, you haven't failed to hit a target so far in your journey, so I don't expect this time to be any different ;) Whenever you write about doubting yourself, I simply smile because I have absolutely no doubt that you will blast your way through this challenge and be setting a new challenge in no time at all. :T
