Is your cup half empty or half full?

[Eliza.D]

We are in trying times at the moment but are we still generally upbeat?

Is the cup half full or half empty. Good things that have happened this week are:

1.The Estate I work on granted me another years permit to park.

2.The car problem was minor and lovely AA man fixed it in a jiffy.

3.Mr D can have Master D Saturady to allow me to go out for boozy lunch Saturday with girl friends.

4.My favourite juice drink'is buy one get one free

[Jah Lush]

Half full. Depends who's buying though.

[Gerrard]

Half full for me, if I knew you Jah I would certainly have bought you a drink...

1. I didnt get made redundant, although sadly thousands from our place have.

2. I managed to get through 14 miles of pounding the streets for my marathon training, 8 more to do on Sunday though...

3. I saved over ?200 on my car insurance for the year thanks to moneysupermarket.

4. Managed to eat curry two nights during the week, one homemade which was fantastic.

[LegalEagle-ish]

Over half full:

1. Still have a job even if it's only part-time

2. boss wants to pay for my accreditation eams (and can ask for a pay rise when I pass with flying colours)

3. credit crunch hasn't really his me cos I only ever use a debit card and don't have a mortgage!

4. Used to being broke so no depressing downturn for me!!!

5. Just discovered crashpadder.com for extra money to put people up on my sofa -woopeee it's spilling over for me now!!!!

[LegalEagle-ish]

Oh yes and i'm gona get drunk in the EDT tonight - positively overflowing now!

[Gerrard]

Stead hands required LegalE - have fun!

[Jah Lush]

May your cup never floweth over.

Thats shite, sorry. Is there not a little slither of a silver lining. Or does every silver lining have a cloud?

[PeckhamRose]

snorky that was sad to read!

1) Well I work in the finance industry as a systems engineer, there is no sign of a credit crunch for me HAHA. Im an integral part of the survival mechanism, they still need to opperate.

Because the vendor I work for is a major unix house, I can go anywhere in my job, which means finance, comms and media and anything inbetween.

2) Got a new job, so I wont be doing Nightshift anymore. Hooray, more time to play....

3) Saved ?250 on my car insurance, I have 6 years no claims, the swines quoted ?604, so laters to that.

Happy Dayz!!!!!

No Bonus this year, bit of a downer, thats what happens when you lend money you dont have to people who cant afford to pay it back EEK.......

Feeling a bit half empty tonight - don't know why I've got next week off, a full set of teeth, a job, no bailifs after me . . I think a glass of wine is in order.

[TillieTrotter]

Mine is pretty empty at the moment. Usually half full.

My cup is around 90% empty, but I intend to live as long as possible to get even on my pension provider.

I might even consider a death-bed marriage to a very young person to keep the pension running for an extra 50 years.

[dulwichmum]

My cups are brimming, but I must admit that I overindulged at Christmas (hic). Just 30 minutes a night on the power plate and I will be pert and perky by Valentines day!

[microbite]

My cup runneth over!

Getting really excellent wages for doing a really cushy, real easy, stress free job, (no I'm not on the game!) and have been told by bosses the firm and my job are as safe as houses! (though did turn down promotion and training for higher more involved position as don't want to be working full time at mo or spending late nights working at the office, or finishing off the training for it just yet, I actually want a life!)

My mortgage repayments are half of what most people pay for their rent, and the house is mine completely in -4 years and counting! Not even "old" yet!

Booked and paid for a holiday last year for this year at a cost of ?900 to find out same holiday is now selling for ?1,600

Have not and never will possess a credit card, if I haven't got the money to buy it, I go without, has always been my motto.

Yup life is looking ok at the mo.

Yeah forgot about that one last year, got a wicked bonus just before xmas and a ?3k payrise (mind you I bet they are kicking themselves now!) Doubt we'll be so lucky this year tho!

Half empty right now -- I never order a Pizza, and for a treat I order one, it still hasn't arrived after 1 hour 40 minutes!!!! I ring up to check and they get all narky with ME!! B'tards -- I'm starving :(

But when it does come I'll be more than half full yum yum

I always give the pizza boys the bennefit of the doubt when timescales are concurned, wouldnt want any unrequested additional toppings.
