It's been so heart breaking seeing so many people here beating themselves up (myself included). Sooooo instead of always saying how rubbish we are and how bad we feel why don't we say what we are good at?
I'm crap with money we all know that haha but I think I am a good friend and a good listener and I am certainly non judgemental. I wish I was good at arty stuff but I'm not so listening it is :)

So come on what are you good at?

  • Smiling and being positive in view of the colleagues (not sure they really have the right person!) providing the laughs when being blonde is much more like it!

    I was voted employee of the month for that today :)
  • Puddy less of the negative with weight! What else are you good at? X

    Keep calm that's fab well done you! X
  • I am good at science, and I get on with most people without too much trouble.
    I am also pretty good at juggling a billion things to do.
  • I hope I'm kind, generous and a good friend.
    But you guys are absolutely amazing! So much support for other people, sharing your experience and knowledge with everyone who needs it.
    I couldn't have done it without you and so thank you on behalf of everyone else who lurks on these boards.

    I'm a mom to a 4 year old and a 5 month old and am pretty sure I rock at it!! I also used to be a DJ and ran my own mobile disco/karaoke business and was pretty good at filling a dance floor! ;)
    Debt as of Sept' 2015 (LBM!): £36,351 :eek: (sickening)
    Monthly outgoings on debt alone: £1243/month

    We're on the right path, we got ourselves here..we're a bit lost, but we'll find our way back again!

    I would say spending money, that I don't have....oops hence the £53K debt we got into to.....

    Complaining - or were you looking at positives only.....

    Charity work - last year I raised £1400 for ABF the Soldiers Charity and walked 100K over the Somme and Ypres. A few years ago I was involved with my local school and helped raise over £2000 (in two years) for them and also helped raise £1000 for BFBS Big salute.

    At present I am planning a cycle across the UK to raise funds for the RAFBF - aiming at £5000.
    Proud to have dealt with our debts
    Starting debt 2005 £65.7K.
    Current debt ZERO.
    DEBT FREE
