Hypno's "there's more to life than debt" diary.....

hypno06

Hope everyone is having a good weekend.

I have done a lot of running about, but it has not been too bad - while DS was at karate and DD was skiing, I walked to do my errands so got a fair bit of fresh air and exercise. I ended up walking round the area in which our "house from hell" was, and, you know when you walk round somewhere thinking "I'm glad I don't live here"? Well, that is how I felt - There was nothing there that made me think that we should still be there. So that was a good feeling really - I have moved on

I say that there is nothing that made me think I should still be there, but there is a great "proper" butcher round the corner from our old house, so I found myself in there, ordering some gluten free sausages, that he used to make specially for us to stock up in our freezer. I will go back and collect them in a couple of weeks. They are really yummy

DS's skis became very damaged this morning - no fault of anyone, just one of those things, but I came home expecting to have to buy new ones - however, the guy at the shop reckons he should be able to repair them and will charge £25 - certainly a whole lot better than the £300 a new pair would cost. I have left them with him and hope that he doesn't ring to say that he can't repair them after all. Fingers crossed!

I have done a few surveys that were sitting in my inbox and have asked for £5 to be sent from lightspeed to paypal.......every little helps!

Miss Bez and Surfbabe - I do hope you get your amazon vouchers. Sending positive thoughts your way.

Hi Hypno! Good news on the sausages - and possibly on the repair too.

Erm, you know when everybody got their qype amazon vouchers, and I posted that I didn't, but I didn't expect to be in the first wave? Well, I did. I got them in an email dated Thursday 27 November at 7.49. I've *no* clue how I missed them, I was scouring my inbox, my spam, my deleted in case I'd been too quick - but there they are, plainly, in my inbox. So I'm off to amazon *right* now. Not posting to gloat - but I didn't sign up to the amazon challenge until *after* I'd done the 50 reviews, and I emailed that Count Me In thing that Seaxwyn mentioned - and they did count me in. I hope Surfbabe and Miss Bez find hope from that.

Surfbabe

nothing in the inbox, spam or trash about the amazon vouchers so i don;t know what has happened.

have been too the ENt today - had one of those camera thijngs stuck up my nose and down my throat which ocmbined with tooth extraction yesterday was not good. Am being referred to a Speech Therapis to learn to use my voice properly. Larynx was ok but vocal cordes dry???

Any way he has recommend that I maybe donp;t teach for a month = have to reaaly think about that one.

Glad everyone seems to have had a good day - excuse the spelling - can;t find my glasses!!!!

Oh yes nad have lost 3lbs as I haven;t been able to eat anything for a couple of day !!!!

I am glad you got your voucher KC!

hypno06

Surfbabe, I am sorry that you are uncomfortable but hope that they can soon make progress with getting you back to normal. As for not teaching, well, you have to do what you need to do to get better - hard though that may be. In terms of lost income, we can make that up on the up your income board etc, but if you lose your voice permanently, we can't replace that (well, not on this board, anyway!).

Surfbabe that sounds *awful*. I would be feeling very, very sorry for myself. Lots of hugs to you.
