    If anyone can do it, family Hypno can!

    I'm off on hols in the morning, just thought I'd pop in quickly instead of doing the packing I should be doing to say that I hope this week is a bit less hectic at work for you. See y'all next weekend!

    £31k is the amount of capital that I would have to pay off next year - the amount of interest is going to be on top of that. My salary is £32k and has to cover debts, food and petrol........and of course I have my tax and NI to come off before I get anything in the first place.

    So the MSE stuff will have to continue big time if I am to have a chance!!

    PP, have a fab fab holiday!

    Another week is upon us. Payday tomorrow for me which I always look forward to. Today I have a couple of "phone" mystery shops - one at lunchtime and one after work, so must not forget to do those. Other than that, work, clicks, and banking, and that is about it!

    Have a good day!

    Wow, hypno, just reading over those figures in your conversation with Gemmzie yesterday - how come the snowball thinks you can do so much so quickly, is it cos you've done so much this year?

    Whatever, have a good day, and don't forget those mystery shops!

    I think his other top tip would be "humour her and don't dare say 'if you spent as much time with me as you did with that bloody website'!" :rotfl:

    Oh Hypno this is great!
    Sounds exactly like my OH!
    One day we are going to find out they have formed that support group behind our backs!
    Yesterday OH looked over my shoulder to see 'THE' site up and asked "so what's Hypno & her clan up to this weekend then?" - was rather jealous of the pig roast - free food & getting paid! - wanted to know if Mr Hypno did the extra work just so he wouldn't have to listen to more debt-busting ideas!:D

    At least Dr Dragon is behind me all the way!

    So after payday does this mean you will be busting that £20k this week Hypno?
