I got news that a group of geeky friends have invented an alarm clock that donates your money for every minute longer you'll spend in bed... oh dear!!!
This clever clock is on sale in the US through ThinkGeek and it has an unpronounceable name such as Sn?zN?z.
It is connected directly to your bank account and, when you buy it, you have the option of choosing who will receive the money and the amount given.
Every time you'll hit the snooze button (the one that allows you to spend a few more minutes in bed before ringing again) sleeping will become expensive and possibly the thought of it is likely to get you out of bed fast!
To maximise the "speed"effect I'd suggest choosing someone you don't particularly like as the receiver of your money, this may really get you on time to that all important date you have with your office desk in the morning... Anything rather than giving money to someone you loathe!
Or alternatively you could choose a charity, and then, maybe, cheekily be able to convince your friends that you're not really a lazy person, you just have a good heart and stay in bed for a good cause!!! ;-)
Good luck with that!!!

"I'd suggest choosing someone you don't particularly like as the receiver of your money..." Hmmm, would you like the account details of your ex-chemistry lecturer? The one who had to say such nasty things to you in some of the early days? :)
That may just be the most brilliant idea you ever had!!! hehehe...
Oh and did I ever mention that I actually passed my exams very well despite all? So when are we meeting for lunch Dr Scott??? ;-)
Well done Dona, great news, but don't you have more in about May? Not that I doubt you will pass, but rules are rules. As the esteemed pioneer Cassandra, and hopefully fellow lunchee, will confirm, the deal is after passing the whole year's exams, not just the first set. You need a year's worth of incentive, after all. But we do look forward to buying you food then, no doubt more than paid for by the money I have made out of your alarm :)
hahahha... oh I knew that... But being the organised person I am I was already looking at my diary! ;-)
Was only joking, just wanted to let you know all is good in all fields (hurray!!!)
And your diary Dona... Is it colour coded to match the type of event, with different font as appropriate too, extensive use of underline, capitals (some bold some not bold) and bullet point reminders? Just a hunch :)
... oh but you forgot the coloured paperclips I use there as well, every matter has a special colour!
Life is so much better when tidy! :-p
You may be only one person in the world, but you may also be the world to one person.............................................
