Hypno's "no more boom or bust" diary

That is a b*g*er re the cards/bank account, but thank goodness you spotted it quickly, and managed to get it sorted.
I bet it was fab at the Brandenburg gate this week - my b-i-l and (now) s-i-l were inter-railing 20 years ago when it all happened and have some souvenir rubble and some very iconic photos that they took at the time.
So was I, it's a small world. I have got my piece of the wall, with all the multi colours on it, in my bathroom, and great photographs, it was an amazing time.
Loved inter-railing, does it still go on?I learned that courage was not the absence of fear, but the triumph over it. The brave man is not he who does not feel afraid, but he who conquers that fear.0 -
Good morning all -wonderful news about your skiiers Hypno, I have no doubt you'll get the money together and it will be interesting and motivating to see you do it.
It was pay day today (yay for fortnightly pay) so have managed to boost my savings, still waiting for tax rebate (grr) and expenses of $400 which should have been paid weeks ago (grrrr). Still, will be nice when it turns up.
I love the way you have 'borrowed' from your Dad's money - I think thats a great way of looking at it and life is all about balance, well done on finding yours.
Hope you all sleep well, see you when you wake up!

Ah yes, but Hypno would do it for a fee as a living art exhibit
Well done to the Hypnettes, superb :TA positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effortMortgage Balance = £0

I'd join in that challenge .I learned that courage was not the absence of fear, but the triumph over it. The brave man is not he who does not feel afraid, but he who conquers that fear.0 -
I could certainly do the "unmade bed" thing, gallygirl!!
Nothing on bingo this morning, although other MSE'rs are doing well there so I won't complain!
ISOM, I had a couple of texts from Pania this week - she is fine and we will catch up properly in due course.
Still got problems with the laptop, although hoping that it is fixed today. I can't be doing with having to share :rolleyes:
