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

We have had the hottest, driest summer for years! Thank goodness, really, because so much of our county relies on either tourism or farming, both of which have escaped torrential rain!

But of course, most of the time I have been stuck in an office with a piffling little desk fan for company :rolleyes:

Still, it has meant that August was a successful "garden" month!

DD has just announced that she wants to sacrifice skiing abroad this season for some new bedroom furniture! The stuff she has is what FiL made for OH when he was a child, so it is somewhat past its best and a tad dated, so I think it is fair enough for her to want something new (and so do I!). She has found something in Next which we both like, so I will be saving for that instead of her ski fees.

DS on the other hand has said that he wants to ski more than anything, so will happily go without birthday/christmas presents again to help cover the cost.

And there was me thinking I could get rid of the barclayloan by Christmas - what planet must I have been on :rolleyes::rotfl:

Forgot to say Hypno with regard to the bingo that you sometimes get a random bonus I got £2 yesterday and today, yesterday's was no good because I needed to withdraw but as you saw with todays I used 50p of it and won £15.45 they are good with their bonuses I think glad you had a win pity it was a share just need Karma to win now.

Very wet here what summer?

You've done well out of it today, DT :T I am happy with my fiver though - better than nothing and winging its way to my bank account where it will go to the barclayloanpot, so all good!

Hoping for a bigger win at some point though - £15s soon add up to be well worth doing!!
