    i think if people are havin a bad year they are more likely to tell u about it. if you get me rayday? like if youre having a good year u dont normally say owt about it do you i spose.
    dunno if this is any help to you, but this yr has gone mega quick for me and dh so far, so at least you can look at it like this-at least the year is nearly over. dunno if that is any help at all chic?? :o

    dont be daft ours is from argos n its lovely. its navy leather really nice n great if u like leather but have kids! lol.

    im sure everything will work out in the end for the people u know cos it always does in the end. worse things can happen as they say. end of the day, were all on here cos were stuck financially and came on for support at some stage. but does it really matter in the long run, really? u know like sometimes i think im bein selfish cos i think do these small things really matter in the big scheme of things. ??
    so long as weve got our familes and were happy does it matter really?

    so thinks of the positives instead of the negs, easy said then done i know!

    Nog you are a gem every time you talk to me my auctions go up £28.69 now you not after a cut are you ;)

    Since financial problems I really embrace family and friends now people are what is important not what you have in life. Everyone on here without knowing most the time are complete gems, I only hope I give as much as I take from the site.

    Thanks again :)
  • just bin readin ur posts nog n rayday, n uve really made me think ive been a bit selfish...been feeling down n a bit sorry for myself coz things arent goin my way re debt, job etc, but i have a lot to be thankful for - i have a gorgeous healthy son (i know every1 says that about their kids but i mean it - bin offered so many catalogue modelling offers for him when im out shopping lol) just wanted to thankyou both for making me realise whats really important in life, bless u both xxxxx

    I too have been sat here wondering how to boost my income, but I have tried loads of things and most turn out to be rubbish and not worth the effort, for e.g. delivering yellow pages - i had to stack hundreds of them in my car, it was so full the car was practically scraping the floor, then i had to store them in my house for days and deliver them in batches in the pouring rain. It took about 10 hours in total (and a little help from my friends), and I got a measly £40 for my efforts!!!! Never again!!!!

    Hello to purple :hello: Good luck with your challenge!

    Challenge news - have sold another book so am up to £17.85 towards littlewoods, ebay item has 7 watchers now so am hoping it will do well when it ends on Thurs!
    Natwest OD = £1800
    Debt free = January 2012
