  • Hey Buffy!

    Happy Easter! Went and did the same today in the spending stakes...and all because I was bored (!?!?). Trying to distract myself with things around the flat to do!

    Hows the re-planning going?

  • Hey Buffy,

    you're doing really well, much better than you think you are.

    You sound like you're on a bit of a downer now but I'm sure things will pick up soon.

    It my birthday today but I started celebrating early with the red wine oooops.

    Anyway, keep up the good work.

    :T :T :T :T

    Don't shave your eyebrows. It doesn't work. :D

    Work out what you want first. Then you can't figure how to get it. :)

    hey buffy,
    Contacted avon and a reps coming to get me started tomorrow.

    Driving lessons would be great but what happens when you pass your test - cars = more debt petrol / tax etc and public transport just doesnt quite live upto having you own car (the first thing I did when i passed mine was get a car on credit from ford via my aunt who worked for them) - do you know any one who can teach you for free? could you ask for some driving lessons for a birthday pressie?

    look at me all mse already - heehee!:rotfl:

    any avons tips gratefully recieved - speak to ya soon

  • Hello!

    good luck with the Avon, its good fun, I must do my orders tommorrow. I must find that thread.

    on the driving front, I really want to change my job, and in order to find a new one I need to drive. Basically this MSE lark ( or life changing night mare as I prefer to call itat times!) should take me two years in which time I will have 90 OU points, lost two stone, learnt to drive and paid off all my debts. then I will be ready to do what ever I want?

    I already have a car, long story and I have tried to learn for many years now. between my job OU and the rest of my life I don't have time for weekly lessons, and I really don't like learning every week, I tried to keep it secret from people cos everyone asks hows it going when is your test etc and I know they mean well but I just cannot stand all the questions!

    so I know it will mean more debt for a bit but I think it will be worth it, since I really am not enjoying my current job and if I cold drive I would be a bit more flexible as to where I could work. at the moment it has to be a bus ride away!

    rambling a bit now. should be marking coursework!

    cheers

    Hey buffy

    good point if it gets you a better job and income then what the hell
    plus bonus that you already have a car you pay tax etc for!
    Go for it alternatively moterbikes are cheaper (fuel / tax ) insurance depends on age i used to have a little 125 which was great for nipping back and forth to work on and only cost £10 to fill the tank which would last weeks!
    great fun aswel

    speak to ya soon
