RE: will someone take me outa my boredome!!

Cricket! Perfect! The only game in the world where even the players don't understand the rules (or so a british friend of mine fondly declares )

RE: Any financial advisors out there?!!!

Pasta and Pesto from Aldi plus a bit of salad makes a perfect meal Plus the ice cream for desert About 1,45 Euro per person.... There you go!

RE: life is cruel

I have no words right now

RE: Any financial advisors out there?!!!

To be honest, I hardly cook more than 3 times a week. We eat a lot of salads and I bake my own bread every 2-3 days. Can't stand the stuff they sell in shops, no substance. I make sandwiches for work lunch, and in the evenings we don't eat warm meals all the time. Salat, bread, fruit, cheese, etc. And I do NEED my ice cream before I go to bed Lidl is good for that, they have cornetto style ice cream fairly cheap

RE: Any financial advisors out there?!!!

Really? 40,000???? Jays, I only make 27,000 in my current (full time) job and considered myself lucky Most of my friends make between 22,000 and 28,000 here.

RE: Any financial advisors out there?!!!

Erm..... deffo savings potential there! We spend about 80 per week for 2 adults and 2 cats. And one of the adults (and it's NOT me!) is 6'3 and can eat a horse!

RE: credit cards.. is there any end?

I would think that a better idea in any case. Anything over like 1000 Euro I would not put on my card, but definitely take a bank loan for, say, 12 month to pay back a set amount each month by direct debit.

RE: credit cards.. is there any end?

Not good self control, just no money

I can't understand either why they would charge you for a zero balance, doesn't make sense. I never get charged anything other than the anual card fee. Which, admittedly, is a bit hefty because I have the gold card. But then, it's a Lufthansa Miles and More card, and the "miles" I collect over the year with the purchases on the card more or less pay for the card fee.

GPTs?

Duely scratched!

RE: credit cards.. is there any end?

Ah, okay. I thought it was something different. I know in the states they can like pay off over months and months. Man, that would drive me insane

I've had my card for 12 years now and wouldn't want to miss it for the world. I buy quite a few things online or book flights, and without the card that would be about impossible. But I barely come over 200 per month, 300 at the most

GPTs?

That's ALWAYS a good idea! I do the same. In any circumstance

GPTs?

Well, guess it depends how much traffic your site gets. And therefore how many times the ads get clicked. A friend of mine in the UK is a professinal web site designer and she makes about 300 to 400 British Pounds per MONTH with her sites But then, she's a pro at that

RE: credit cards.. is there any end?

Hmm..... I have a MasterCard and put a limit on it voluntarily. Just in case it would get stolen and I wouldn't notice in time.

But I have the contract that the whole amount on my card gets taken from my bank account in the first week of the following month.

What kind of card or contract do you have?

RE: needing a smile

Have to agree, DO let it out!!! The healing comes quicker and easier when you give yourself the time to grieve and mourn.

Once I didn't have the chance to grieve for a loss of a loved one, had to put up a brave face for ages. Now when I think of her, I still cry. And that for 6 years now

Tears wash away a bit of the pain and cleanse the soul. That's why we were given the ability to cry. Go on, lean on my shoulder and out with it!

GPTs?

Erm....yeah! I thought that was common knowledge?

(right side box)

After 2.5 years my son got his first payment of 70 Euro last week hehehe but then, we only do it for a hobby.

GPTs?

Oh, I know that! Not planning on getting rich overnight (nor any time soon )

I do a German start page one, pays, as you said, a pittance and I more use it because it has the news on it, plus the DAX infos that interest me.

GPTs?

Purely out of curiosity, does anybody here do any of them GPT's?

(= Get paid to..... like reading emails for pennies or a paid homepage or something similar)

Or does place Google Ads on their websites?

Just wondering..... with money scarce as it is these days....

Any recommendations?

RE: Palefaces

And I know the BOTH of you!

RE: Palefaces

Have to agree. Puts me off too.

RE: We never, ever know

That's so sad

to lose a child.... there can't be anything worse.

May they find the strength to go on.

RE: Describe yourself in 2 words

Awwww

RE: dating 40 plus

Maybe it's because older women tend to think of the future? Say, 20 years later....

Myself I couldn't see me dating a man very much younger. I would hate the thought of me being 80 and walking on a Zimmer frame and him wanting to go out dancing

RE: Describe yourself in 2 words

I KNOW you do!

RE: Describe yourself in 2 words

As they say..."Nomen est omen"....

Feline, Lady

RE: dating 40 plus

Honestly I can't remember how long I have been on here

Had a few coffee dates, but no chemistry.

BUT I met some great people and we've become friends

More or less have given up hope of meeting a partner in my age group on any dating site. Or anywhere else, for that matter Maybe it's just not meant to be

RE: Would you get back with your ex?

I voted "Never an ex is an ex for a good reason"

And they are!

I still have a somewhat loose contact with a few (like a shallow "hi" on skype or the likes) and when I look at their lives today, I'm glad I'm not with them any more. Losers, the lot of them!

In hindsight (which, as we all know, is a wonderful thing) I'm glad they walked / were made to walk

I simply can't stand cheats, liers, boasts and drunks. Waste of time. And "Once a cheat, always a cheat!" hits the nail on the head. I mean, how can you honestly trust a person that cheated on you before??? And if you don't trust that person, how can you have a relationship with them?



*humms...these boots are made for walking...*

Has anybody read anyting by Laurence Gardner?

I picked up this book "The Magdalene Legacy" yesterday in the second hand book shop and man, I just CANNOT put it down It's awesome, fascinating and so well researched.

It says on the book that he had some other bestsellers. Listed are "Bloodline of the Holy Grail" and others. I think I will try to find that one.

RE: Quotes!!

“We are just an advanced breed of monkeys on a minor planet of a very average star. But we can understand the Universe. That makes us something very special.”

"Lord, grant me the strength to change the things I can change, grant me the placidity to bear the things I cannot change, and grant me the wisdom to distinguish between the two."

I may not be a Christian, but I have to agree with St. Francis on those!

RE: shame on holland and spain

That's why they can't run so fast any more. Too much money in their pockets
