Wednesday Witterings

I'm jealous ! Jealous of Ugly Debty 's blog name ! I can never think of clever things like that, a play on words. Aside from that it's a great blog about how she's going to beat the debt.

Diggin' Out is stopping smoking. In my first post on this blog I declared I had to do this. Six months on and the only progress I've made is switching to roll ups. Although cheaper the fuss nonsense and paraphernalia that goes with it is so tiresome I 'm on my way to ditching it. Add to this someone mentioned at work yesterday that I looked pale (the fact my new blogging addiction keeps me up all hours has nothing to do with it !) she went on to say 'not that I ever had much colour anyway'. What must I look like ? Clearly my self perception is very wrong !

Sold a few things on ebay last night - £8 in total, not much but it all helps. Have made a total excess income of £56.52 this month, and to be honest I haven't tried very hard. Got a day off tomorrow and will list more. Also on the to do list is beat that car insurance quote.

Last year I read Positively Happy: Cosmic Ways to Change Your Life a good read/autobiography and introduction to positive thinking, confirms my belief that what goes around comes around. However I want to delve a little deeper into this cosmic ordering. I know it's not the answer to my debt problems but I guess it's a great attitude. Any book suggestions for me ?

You know Jo, I get that occasionally at work too..."you look tired"...well I FEEL fine!! Doesn't anyone think before they talk??? Please, don't tell me how I look unless it's beautiful! Gosh..

Anyhow...hooray for you! for making extra cash this month! You rock!

Lol Ms Jo, I would never say anything insensitive either, the lady in question doesn't mince her words, sometimes refreshing, sometimes a tad too close, but at least you know where you stand.

However I am denying my skin oxygen by smoking so I should just stop kidding myself and just get rid of the nasty smelly things.

I like 80/20 Principle by Richard Koch (can't remember exact title, but Amazon it).

It focuses alot on business, but it also analyses alot of the forces, rules and weird ways 80/20 thinking can help you for example get out of debt or achieve more happiness.
