Hypno's "no more boom or bust" diary

Double_Trouble

Ok it had to be done here as my first post was on Hypno's diary

This is my 2000th post :j:j

What a difference just over 12 months makes and it would not have been possible without you lovely MSE folks :A

I have just declared my total paid off over the last 12 months in the Christmas 09 thread and am now ready to start afresh and with the
MFiT-T2 starting in 2 weeks it is a time of new challenges and new beginnings which is very exciting.

Thank you again I feel quite emotional

I feel honoured that you have posted you 2000th post on my diary, thank you very much and it has been an absolute pleasure to have you about

Seaxwyn, no, not amazing - just determined. Having an OH who earns does make a difference, and I wish I could do something to help your OH have some sort of LBM to help you along the way, because you have done a lot on your own....be proud of that fact.

I've been to the local butcher and ordered my happy free range Turkey, sausages, bacon and stuffing to collect on Christmas Eve - the bill will be horrific, but it is only once a year, and I know that the quality will be excellent.

And I have wimped out of going to Tesco, and did an online shop to be delivered tomorrow afternoon - £5.50 delivery charge, but it is worth that in terms of time and stress......

That is an amazing amout in a year along with the skiing & the holiday.
A fantastic achievment by any standards:T:T:T

Well done on all your achievements. Can I still come along for the ride, even though I'm only a lightweight?

i'm stuggling with the houseworky stuff, specially as the dishwasher has just gone bang big style.

macgirl

Hope the dishwasher is fixable The sig is looking good though LT! :T

I'm debating whether or not to buy a tumble dryer. I've avoided them up to now, as I know they're not Eco-friendly and it's my way of doing my bit.
But then it's not very Eco to put the heating on all day to dry the washing on the rads, so....

*off to look at Quidco to see if I can justify one*

£19K paid off and a family holiday trip to china and ski trips on top - don't sell yourself short - You've done amazing!

You are certainly not a lightweight, lucielle - you have reduced your own totals by a huge amount, in a very difficult year!!

I've done the running around for the day, and am very glad to be home now for the evening.....tuna pasta for dinner and Saturday night telly with a fleecy blanket on the sofa will do me nicely now.
