    :rotfl:I feel special too. :D

    I have no doubt you can achieve anything you set your mind to. Time for a new diary? Saving up £300k for a mansion. :D And you better not leave this board. I think a few of us would stalk you.

    I thought breifly about not having a diary, but that would be really strange, like setting sail without an anchor!

    I know, I feel all special too! :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    Thanks for the special mention - I've had a huge amount of support from the boards and it is heart warming to know that I am, in my own small way, helping others too.:T:T

    £300k in 10 years - WOW:eek:! I have no doubt however that you'll do it. Looking forward to the next earthgirl adventure!

    Your diary, along with courgette's, was one of the key ones which inspired me to start on my own MFW journey, so please do keep posting :D.

  • Hello,

    I agree, when I first found this site I read your diary from start to finsih over a couple of days and was really inspired by the way that you went out there and just did what was necessary to get what you wanted - and now you've done it! You really showed what can be achieved when you try, even with having a baby in the middle of it all!

    I am sure you will get your mansion if you apply the same whole heartedness to this project.:D

    Well done again,

    Squirrel:j
    Paid off mortgage nine years early in 2013. Now picking and choosing our work to fit in with the rest of our lives!
    Still thrifty though, after all these years:D

    Hmmm...right, I feel the need to inspire people. I want to be person that people hold up as an inspiration! How selfish and egotistical am I? :rotfl: But in the meantime I'm clinging on to this mention. Ha ha. x
