Spoilsport......I was going to let her think that I recalled the date of everyone's first post as a party trick
And we'd all have believed it too! :rotfl::rotfl:Christmas bonus day today and I got a cheque for £1000 for which I am very grateful. Lots of places are not paying bonuses at all, so we are quite lucky. I did have a fleeting thought that I might buy myself something sparkly from the jewellers which has bouncers on the door........but I didn't even step inside for a look - went straight to the bank, and when it clears later in the week will pay it to egg.
Merry Christmas Egg.........:rolleyes:
Still, it will be 20 boxes I can colour in on Thursday :T
Fabulous - well done - both getting it and putting it straight into debt busting! :T:T:T0 -
Good luck Hypno - I am quite new one MSE but already can see/feel the inspiration you give to everyone.
You can do it!!! :ADFW Nerd #11520 -
I will feel very very bad if I spend it on something else. The cheque clears on Thursday, so I have 3 days of trying to avoid bargain ski trips, the early January sales, and sparkly things in the jeweller's window.......
I did try and compromise......in a very DFW/MSE way. I have £10 M&S voucher from pigsback, so went and bought M&S ready prepared veg, and bloomin expensive potatoes, just because they are already peeled and in garlic and shallot butter, and some M&S sausages, that are twice the price of "butchers choice"......... So we can have an easy to prepare but sort of free dinner, and because it is from M&S we can pretend we are not poor :cool:

Afternoon everyone - just caught up with the old and new diary Hypno - only been off line for 18 hours !!!!
Feeling very tired for some reason - would like to go to sleep but have to go to work!!!
Enjoy your M&SE dinner ......................... you can just hear the music playing can;t you !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!0 -
Surfbabe, I am not surprised you are feeling tired - you have been ill for a long time, and it takes time to recover. Plus, you are not exactly taking things easy during yuor illness, are you?????

Who me - take things easy :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: [EMAIL="I@m"]I'm[/EMAIL] better at doing that than I used to be :T
and haribo :eek: - have to say i don;t like them but I'm sure they are very very beneficial for coughs :rotfl: :rotfl:0 -
I'm working on the principle that if the haribo don't have the desired effect,then the peanut butter kitkat chunky that is next to me, might work instead.........:oSuccessful women can still have their feet on the ground.

Happy new diary Hypno! Well done on resisting the sparkly things when you got your bonus - you could always do those squares in glitter pen just so you get a bit of sparkle
