Hypno's "no more boom or bust" diary

hypno06

yes, that is to avoid losing the bbs - I always forfeit them anyway - it will just be interesting to see what happens over the next day or so. time will tell! I don't understand what is going on, at all, so I will just wait to see what comes my way!

MiL rang to ask what I want for my birthday - I said euros for spending on holiday, and I have asked for the same from my mum. So hopefully that will be my vin chaud money sorted for the week

I've covered the cost of the holiday from MSE means, and spends will be covered by birthday money, hopefully.....so that just leaves the boring bits like petrol to the airport.

I have my empty egg card, that has a zero balance, that I can take for absolute emergencies - having had all my luggage nicked from a ski resort before, I need to have some access to emergency money! But I don't intend using it for anything else.

Of course I have all the kit, so don't need to buy anything there, so basically my holiday is all covered!

Oh, and I have a new fun game - watching my mortgage balance go down - for the first time in years I am paying off the capital and it is really nice to see it when I log in!!

Yes, Yes, YES!!!! I'd love that too - right up my street. Lovely.

I live a couple of streets away from those houses in my area. There has been one on the market for about 18 months and I've been hoping it would still be on in another 18 months, so I'd be in with a shout.

Alas, it is now sold, so not meant to be

That house is on my running route (when I made the effort to go running, that is!), and I used to run round that area at the weekends pretending that I lived there......:o

One day......

Thats a niiicceeee house. I love that bathroom!

I must say, I don't understand whats going on with the bingo. I haven't won anything on it, but the only WR I can see on mine says its about withdrawing so I don't lose bingo bucks - and we always lose those anyway. My withdrawal from Tuesday is now confirmed, but that was depositing so I could still play the freebies. Sigh.... I don't understand how anyone *can* fulfil those WRs without risking their own money. Can anyone enlighten me?

Nice house hypno - they sure are cheap up your way, that would cost a million down here!

I don't understand the stupid bingo either. I don't care about the BBs, but it wouldn't let me withdraw any money! I'm now playing all I can to meet the requirements, and haven't won anything, so the total in the bottom left corner is dwindling away. Surely they have to let us withdraw what we put in, at the very least!

Mmmm, I've not been running for a while, but have my kit ready for the morning to re-start. :eek:
I used to run routes so I could pass houses I love and in my head say "If I get up this hill, that house will be mine!":rotfl:
