Hypno's approach to life, the universe and debtbusting.....

Started off doing lots of deep cleaning of house yesterday - looonnnggg overdue - buuutttt - got distracted and restored and painted an old ornamental soldier nutcracker instead - ??? - (sentimantal ornament form my childhood that I've been going to re-paint for ages)
Cleared bookcase and washed ornaments out of cupboard in hall this morning - they are now all draining in kitchen after being washed - not the books though just dusted those lol - so why aren't I enthusiastically cleaning said cupboard to put them back into - instead of sipping a cuppa, eating biccies and catching up on here - the art of procrastination - do they do a degree course in it - I could easily get a 1st along with a few others on these boards lol
I'm aiming for 2nd NSD in a row - started £20 note challenge yesterday and cleaning regime is supposed to be helping me!! Aiming for 14 NSDs in August - not a good start this will be my 3rd.
Well done on crown Hypno - have to set an alarm for 30 mins 'hypno time' - no computer allowed in that time - chill out time. Hope your cold is a bit better - get the Manuka Honey out - expensive but pretty good stuff.
Off to finish the deep clean of my hall and might attempt a beroom too!!

£41/50 is very good going - I've had two cheques so far (and a fair few vouchers), but I'm currently back on the vouchers as I always get a bit depressed waiting to earn that much. After all, £50 is roughly 40-45 reviews for most Dooyooers..
I've had £300 so far from dooyoo, so almost at £350 which I am more than happy with....but I go for cash each time as it means I can colour in another square and get rid of this pesky debt a bit quicker!Successful women can still have their feet on the ground.

Passes over old jumper for Hypno's DD to make fabby cushion cover.:DBlackadder: Am I jumping the gun, Baldrick, or are the words 'I have a cunning plan' marching with ill-deserved confidence in the direction of this conversation?

Next target is the mortgage - I have committed to the MFiT challenge starting on 12th December, to have paid £75000 off my mortgage by 12/12/12.
So, plenty of squares to be coloured in thereSuccessful women can still have their feet on the ground. They just wear better shoes. (Maud Van de Venne)Life begins at the end of your comfort zone (Neale Donald Walsch)0 -
