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!

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.

Don't shave your eyebrows. It doesn't work.
Work out what you want first. Then you can't figure how to get it.0 -

so opinions on week long have the test at the end driving courses please. they cost around 1000 ( need the turning pale smiley there)

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 soonmiaoww

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
