    Well done Hypno :T :T

    thanks benben, and whatatwit......my feet are feeling the full 13.1 miles at the moment though........and I don't even have the energy to go and put the kettle on :rotfl: Methinks I need to practice a bit more if I am going to get round the marathon!

    The fact that it is only November, suggests that you have time for a bit more drinking practice before the REAL house Christmas party.....presumably this was just a (not so) dry run :confused:


    Well there will be more parties elsewhere, but I'm laying off the drink. For the past four months since joining on here I've been putting everything including 20p and below into a sweet jar, and today I've counted it and come up with £170!!!! :j :j :j


    On a slightly worse note, a filling I keep on having keeps on falling out. It's a tiny hole in the side of one of my molars and it's the second time in 6 months it's fallen out! :mad:


    Grrrr....

    But also yay! Now to mope and book another dentist appointment.
    :beer: Debt Free since July 2011 and it feels good! :beer:

    Now it's all about finding a deposit for a house!

    How do you amass £70k in a year?! :eek:

    £170 in change is fantastic! That will more than cover the dental appointment......so at least your filling falling out won't cost you anything in real terms!

    (boring thing to spend it on, I know, but at least it is there!)

    £170 is brilliant for spare change. Isn't it scary how quickly it builds up.

    thanks miz - it was a bit silly of me to do it, to be honest, but there we go.....I'm like that :o

    According to my garmin, though, I used up 1557 calories.......I will be sure to make up for that later in the week :D

    That's like a whole days worth of calories. Definately a treat well deserved for me thinks :T

    You would have thought a half marathon would burn up more calories than that! :eek:

    But that's a whole day's food for me! I thought that was quite a lot of calories to use up in a couple of hours!
