    Thanks falady, trouble is there's only me.

    I make bread pudding though, which I can slice and bring to work. But a sandwich & a piece of bread pudding isn't really a balanced diet :rotfl:

    - did a Toluna survey for 3400 points (finally!! I am NEVER accepted)

    I get accepted for about 90% of the ones I am offered but NEVER see any extra points :mad: and only once did I get turned down and get the 500 points for not "being in the target group".

    Hello Everyone,

    Not a good day here - just figured out my DFD is soooo far away :( and nothing I do seems to make it better.

    Anyway, gotta keep on smiling so have done or will do...
    1) Store cupboard food.
    2) No spend day - even found 5p:confused:
    3) Going to try and find some things to put up on eBay

    Have a good one.

    Not lots of little things for me today, however rather big and important things instead!
    -I posted off my enrolment form for my two day course, which is one of the requirements of the counselling course i want to get on
    -Received and replied to an email from the counselling course tutor and she is sending me out one of their diploma packs and have asked for some recommended book.
    -Had a job interview, only for a bank position, but sounded good and would fit in well with my plans and may help me get on my counselling course due to the nature of the job.
    -Off out tonight for my last training session for voluntary couselling place, also important if i am to get on my course!

    -Going out for tea to do a mystery shop, so a nice free tea!
    Little things to do/done.
    -Will sort through emails
    -Do any surveys i may have recieved

    -Will type up report later
    -Upload shop and scan that i should have done yesterday!
    -Do review as to where i am with everything
    -Try and work on leaflets and brochures for business
    -Check on ebay for things for my business

    Have a great evening everyone.

    Red Dino, I know what you mean about it's going to take forever to clear your debt...see my signature:rolleyes: ....but the way I look at it is that at least I'm on that road now and not going round and round in circles and burying my head in the sand like I was previously:rotfl:
    Today again just the usual stuff from me:
    Checked online banking no significant change there:rolleyes:
    Not used any heating, just immerser for hot water:A
    No washing today as I'm up to date on that score:A
    NSD day:T
    Off today so made lunch at home & evening meal will be from storecupboard/fridge/freezer:T
    Think that's about it for today except for a big thanks:T :T :T to Cleosmum, Klane and Andan for keeping the thread going :j:D
    :cool: Hope Sophiesmum is having a great holiday:beer:

    Aww don't be blue, red! :) How about setting yourself smaller goals to aim for ... like, your next one could be to be under £24k, which is "only" a few hundred away... take it a step at a time! And then pat yourself on the back (we'll do it too!) when you get there. Before you know it, you'll be under £20K... 15K... and at 0!

    confession time.... had too many days staying in, the weather is ok, worked hard..so has a few beers on the slate at my local, on the way home from work....ok, it aint the right way to go, but all work and no play is really doing my head in..its bad enough worrying about my debt, but this staying in all weekends and weekdays, just got to me....but, i spent much less than i would have done if i had the cash.. so it is still bad, but not as... if that makes any sense ;)

    Hi Oliveoyl,

    What is bread pudding? it sounds intriguing! How about frezing half the loaf when you make it, to stop it going off? OH and i sometimes do this, but i oten find that we've either got too much bread or not enough!
