Sounds like you have had a fab day today

Your market day sounds lovely, no wonder you look forward to it .

I can't advise you on the grey hair as I only have a few at the moment, but I don't dye my hair as I'm too lazy .

We walked through part of the Christmas market both this and last weekend as we changed trams CL and commented how they look the same every year. The only bit that was different was the ice sculptures but there’s no way I’m paying a tenner to go in to see them :eek:

If I offend anyone I am sorry . Everyone who is on this site is either in debt or has been at sometime. I read of people who are really having a tough time and doing their utmost to keep their heads above water . Others have enough income but have made bad decisions in the past and are trying to make amends . Then there are those people who have been here a few times before but continue to add to debt , consolidate and then do it all again. My query is how many times is enough times. I guess it's down to individuals and we are all different. I wish sometimes we had a dislike button .

Onwards I go for another moan, we have some lovely apprentices who are raising money for a local charity , we have had raffles, tombolas, etc . Tomorrow they are car washing, £15 for the outside and£25 for both outside and inside , which I think is mega expensive . Last year it was £5 for the outside. They won't be getting my money. Have spent money on raffle tickets but I actually won on the raffle tickets for local laser quest .

I am getting in holiday mode , only 4 more working days and 10 days to go to Oz.

Wow £25 - are they using golden dusters or something. I’m with you I think it’s expensive for a car wash too - charity or not!

Yes everyone has a different outlook, attitude and circumstances around debt. I know I’d got myself out of control some years ago and it’s a place I never want to go again.

£15 to get the car washed.
The water must have gold nuggets in it :eek:
No way would I pay that.

Blimey £15 and £25 for a car wash :eek: I wonder how many people took them up on that!

Well done for winning the raffle .

Maybe they think we are all on the Chiefs Executive salary .

That's certainly eye watering for the car wash! Sometimes I think you can price yourself right out of the ballpark charity wise - if they would drop the price they would get more people take them up on it and thus earn more money for the charity.

Great news on the raffle win! Not long now to Oz.........:)

Such a shame that the charity feels it needs to charge so much more this time, as they may get fewer takers and end up raising less money

Exciting times ahead with Oz coming up
