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

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.

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!!!!

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

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.......

Miserable bastard.

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

    • Thanks all, our hope was (despite the diminishing estate) he would get on with it.  Progress is glacial, it's been two years since probate was granted, that's two cold and damp winters with no heating, and not surprisingly a pipe burst. He's blames the issues on the estate agent, who separately had a dispute with him, he had a wobbly when one of the beneficiaries spoke to the estate agent.  Separately he said it was the family's fault for letting the property get into a poor condition.  It was dated, but certainly not in poor condition. There are two five star reviews on Google, and five one star: ** WARNING** This solicitor firm has to be one of the worst I have encountered. The solicitor is prehistoric in his practices and will carry out work at his own snails pace, the fax machine he uses gets turned off at 2 pm and its near impossible to get him on the phone. STAY AWAY, YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED, check the solicitors ombudsman, this firm has previous bad practice recorded.   Disgusting under no circumstances use this solicitor.For over 10 years he has not carried out the terms of a Will he has not re-invested money but has retained it.  He writes letters which are pure "Flannel" excuses for doing nothing.  You have been warned   shocking experience, delayed the whole process, told other side solicitors to not contact him as he feels pressured etc. never use.   Not fit for 21st century. No website, no email address, no electronic transfer. Very slow, very little communication.   Was not a pleasant experience dealing with this firm    
    • If you mean the one outside the church going towards Peckham, it still had the closed sign on it this morning, but as there are no road works there, I'm sure some of the drivers will stop there on request.  The stop outside the chippy coming from Peckham is closed as there are road works in front of it.  The 4 way traffic lights are in operation.., causing a lot of congestion.
    • We found a recommendation for Geek Electrics on a here after we wanted to have a electrical inspection of a property we are buying. From the very beginning through to the end Bob was responsive, helpful and demonstrated his knowledge. He has been an absolute pleasure to deal with. We will defiantly be using Bob again and would thoroughly recommend him! His details are... www.geekelectrics.co.uk 07453 407 226 [email protected]
