Radish72 MFW diary

Courgette

Ooooh, I'm plannig on winning that too, better enter it hadn't I! :rotfl:

Sorry about the house sale falling through, and boooooo to next door selling. Have you had a nosy at it on Rightmove? What did the EA say? Time to switch to your neighbour's EA?

Is next week mfw smear test week then? Need mine doing too, groan

Well done on the weight loss! :T:T

TYO and Courgette can you please enter in January, that way I can win the December draw and you can fight it out for the rest of the year

As yet,money hasn't transferred across to Halifax account and the £5K has to be in for entire month to enter the draw. Guess who's going to be doing lots on checking off on-line account

P.S. ISA's don't count

Thanks for all your help and support this year.
Next year is the year for you to sell sell sell your property! I can feel it in my water

Radish72

Thanks Pammy, I hope so toooo (as was obviously a very bad person in another life or maybe this one)

Won't be doing any more on the MF front this year, as I have finished work and have de-camped to BF house for Christmas

Goals for 2011
Not eat any crisps, so far so good 51 weeks completed now only the toughest week of the year to get through (Mum has bought 3 tubes of Pringles, how mean can you be)

Lose 3 stone, failed only managed 2 stone 3lbs (All Inclusive holiday to Cuba didn't help with that goal)

Take lunch to work every day, passed have made dinner every day this year

Keep food shopping to £20/week, failed worked out as £22.88 but that does include non food items (smaller clothes etc) and I do have some food stockpiled from offers (12 tins of beans)

Fill ISA - done

Get mortgage under £10K - done, with a little dance round the house for good measure

Bad news of the year
Car broke down on motorway, 4 1/2 hours on the hard shoulder starting at 9.30 at night was awful, cold, wet and scary, Glad to see that my road cover "woman alone, top priority " appears to mean diddly squat

So car shopping in the new year as even though car has been fixed (£20 for a water hose) I just don't trust it anymore to drive long distances

Lovely BF has applied for a 0% credit card so I can put some of the cost on that, which means more money can stay in ISA

And that's it, the end of 2011 for Radish, next year........................ I turn 40 :eek:

Morning Radish, as you were one of the people who inspired me to start my journey, I wanted to pop by and say thank you. Looks like you have done really well with your goals, and losing over two stones is marvellous. That will be one of my goals for next year.

Thank you for inspiration over the last few months and I wish you all the best for Christmas (step away from the Pringles), and good luck on your journey in 2012.

Best wishes Tilly

Thanks Tilly, I have a little warm glow now reading that (GallyGirl - I have not wet myself before you say something), feels weird to think I have inspired someone when there are so many inspiring people on here

Off to stalk your diary

My diary is a little empty until I am back in the UK. All shopping complete, no spends apart from cinema with kids and DH this afternoon and that's it until we return. Tx

First post of the New Year

Resolutions
Buy a new car
Not fill my ISA allowance for the 12/13 tax year
Don't make any OP's towards mortgage
Spend ALL my money on stuff I don't need or want
Not have a adverse reaction to turning 40 (its just a number)

Happy new year Radish!! Is that so you can break all the resolutions??

What a great year - impressive weight loss and a four figure mortgage!! You'll make us 6 figure types very jealous .

Rubbish about the car, and the service you got from the breakdown company - are you going to complain?

Wishing you a very unsuccessful 2012 where you break all your resolutions :rotfl:!
