kipper Posted December 26, 2016 Share Posted December 26, 2016 Over Christmas I saw my niece and she looked great. If you remember she was the one who was raped by some asshole and she was a mess. After months in therapy and also a stint in a rehab facility she seems to be doing very well but only time will tell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But they also like all that crap that every other 10 and 7 year old girl does...lol...but mine are probably the only ones in their school that can tell you the names of the members of zeppelin, at least 2 of the singers from sabbath...lol...

chillumpuffer Posted January 1, 2017 Share Posted January 1, 2017 Feeling really good today. Me and Mrs CP did a bit of shopping this morning, had a leftover lunch and we relaxed in front of a roaring wood burner and watched The Great Escape. I will be opening a bottle of red in a bit and cooking Pheasant. Marvellous Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kiwi_Zep_Fan87 Posted January 5, 2017 Share Posted January 5, 2017 (edited) These past two weeks have been rough. The deadlines are insane and the work load is horrific. I even had to work on New Year's Eve and New Year's. For 5 straight days, I not only took my work home but worked till 5 AM. Work was like a 9 AM to 5 AM job! Anyway, today, I came back home from work at 9 PM. I was exhausted but my day was made, when I found that a package had arrived for me, containing a very special album I had an Amazon gift card that was just lying around. Glad I put it to good use!

craigled Posted January 5, 2017 Share Posted January 5, 2017 The Rugby League challenge cup draw has just been made. Leigh Miners v Wigan St Patricks. A big Derby around these parts. Think i will go. So near, I can walk. Happy about that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kiwi_Zep_Fan87 Posted January 5, 2017 Share Posted January 5, 2017 Another thing that made me happy was receiving my first pay check. This happened 4 days ago. Time to go shopping for music albums! I have so much to buy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't forget to save a few pennies. Start early and never stop saving. You won't miss the money and it will provide you with a nice nest egg down the road. I know you already know that, the mom in me just couldn't resist, hehe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great news about your pay check Kiwi- assuming you can actually get hold of some Rups ?? Maybe 50/50 saving spending? Have a great weekend?

My plan is to deposit the check into my account and then, use plastic money! And CP, thanks for the splendid idea!! I'm going to allocate 50% to spending and 50% to saving. I mean, it's my first time earning a living and I am a huge music lover at heart! Gosh! I have so many albums to buy, which I put off purchasing for years!! I am just so excited! I can't stand it!

Don't go crazy buying albums. Since you work, you only have so much time to listen to them. Plus, you have your entire life ahead of you to build your collection. Resist the millenial urge to have EVERYTHING now and worry about paying for it later. An album or two a week is fine...especially if you can get it at good used prices. I can get a good used Rush album for $4 to $7 around here. Of course, sending it to Bangalore adds significant expense. I don't know what the normal going rate for music cds and vinyl is in India, or if you prefer to shop online at international sites. Either way, a 50/50 split is a good idea. Good luck, Kiwi.
