    sorry if i'm feeling sad for myself, i know there's worse out there.

    Oh we all have times like that LT - don't apologise for them! I certainly know that I still have bleak periods where it seems a never ending treadmill.

    Keep going, you'll get there.

  • Brilliant news for the mini-Hypnos, bet you're really proud of them but :eek::eek: at the cost - do you have a deadline to pay it all?

    I will have to try and match you ;)

    LT - sorry to hear about your job, hope you feel better soon

    IMD, I have to find:

    £990 by 18th November (Norway)
    £600 by 4th December (Norway)
    £1150 by 6th December (France)
    £1150 by 5th January (France)
    £400 by 8th January (Norway)

    Do you still fancy that challenge :D

    KC, I think DS will spend a few years mooching around the alps when he finishes schooling, but whether he will earn enough to be "professional" is another matter - I reckon he will just about scrape through and have lots of fun!

    Just over £2000 for the squad training in Norway, plus I have already committed to DS doing January in France :rolleyes:

    So total of about £5000........first instalment - £495 each by next week :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:
    :eek::eek::eek:

    For the squad, it is "return acceptance slip, with cheque for £495 plus postdated cheques by 18th November - one for £300 dated 4th December, one for £200 dated 8th January"

    easy :rotfl:

    and I have two to send :rotfl::rotfl:

    Now, if everyone would just stay away from the jackpot games on bingo please, let me win just one or two of the biggies, and if Mr Branson would allow me the big prize on the scratchcard this week......then I'll be ok!

    Again...:eek::eek::eek: Yes, fingers, toes and eyes crossed for you on that one!

    Yes, I will admit that had I not already booked my week away, it would very definitely have been a "nice idea but......."

    As it is, it is SUCH a shame that I can't cancel and get a refund :rolleyes:

    No, it's not. You need it and will have a ball and recharge your batteries for the final year of debt-busting ;)
