  • Hi Hypno,

    I'm a bit of a lurker round these here parts :o but I read your diary when I can and I have to say I am so thrilled for you about the tax credits! :D

    No-one deserves it more than you do, you work so hard to bring in all the extra bits of cash and you seem to pay off a phenomenal amount every month, so I think it's really wonderful that you've had this windfall to help you on the way. :j

    Hope you treat yourself with it a bit too, you totally deserve it!

    I coloured in the squares pink :p

    violet blue - my treat was paying off such a chunk - it gave me great satisfaction, I can tell you!

    I was tempted to have a mini shopping spree, but the sensible square-obsessed side of me won :D

    Actually I can understand that, having just paid off a big chunk of mortgage myself - feels great doesn't it!!

    And your signature is looking extreeeemely healthy now, especially the £86 a day!

    Congratulations Hypno :T:T:T:T:T

    What a lovely surprise. Glad you spent some of it on a treat, bet it was good colouring in all those boxes.

    haven't been on here much today, work was really busy and was trying to grab a couple of £9 rooms with Travelodge (managed it eventually) and then had stuff to do tonight so just catching up so it's belated congratulations. You'll be at £20000 paid off this year in no time and it makes up for all the hours you've put in to make £10 here and there :A
