    Methinks you are having rather too much of a good time out there Mr Walsh :rotfl:

    Good for you!


    Well those red carpets were after meeting Helena Christensen, going for lunch at the Ivy (where I had a bottle of vintage wine to myself :rolleyes:) and then a massage!

    Shamefully, it wasn't till I was on the vodka much later that I let my hair down! I make it look fun, but I was out there for 90 minutes making people talk to me! Professional yes (even if it were my first time) but fair play to everyone there, they really fight (and I mean that literally!) for the interviews! :D
    :beer: Debt Free since July 2011 and it feels good! :beer:

    Now it's all about finding a deposit for a house!

    How do you amass £70k in a year?! :eek:
  • Yes and I'm convinced that if George Osbourne reads this diary, he would be truly quaking in his boots at the thought of coming upagainst Hypno!

    And hell, it's £63k plus (dream) house and more user friendly hours!

  • Goes off to barf with jealousy at Walshboy's posh lifestyle..:o

    Very pleased for you though WB:D
    Blackadder: Am I jumping the gun, Baldrick, or are the words 'I have a cunning plan' marching with ill-deserved confidence in the direction of this conversation?
    Still lurking around with a hope of some salvation:cool:

    If I become Chancellor, could I get all the Parliamentary secretaries doing scratchcards and free bingo to boost the coffers of the nation, and to repay our national debt?

    Also, would I get a cleaner? I ain't taking the job if I don't get a cleaner.....

    Evening Hypno,

    Well done on your cleaning efforts. I bet you've not cleaned the INSIDE of your computer yet, even Flylady is not that efficient, so i've attached my little helper to get you ahead of the game.

    Very jealous of your amazing prize Walshy!

    My DD loves it!

    :T

    I am being a good flylady, and tidying my bedroom.......I will go to bed tonight in a place of peace and calm.....it will be a shame that have to set my alarm for the morning!

    Walshy - great videos - great prize - don;t let it go to your head though!!!

    love the screen cleaner - have just send it to lots of people.

    Hypno - definatley for Chancellor of Exchequer

    In answer to your question about swimming - there is no swimming on Wiifit but balance and aerobic and yoga so that will have to do at the moment !! May have to invest in a pair of goggles which i hate wearing.

    Anyway - off to do something constructive - not such what though yet !!

    No chance! Sorry - I will be too busy enjoying the fact that I can walk around my house without risking breaking a leg or two :rotfl:

    The bedroom is looking good. I have a beautiful Lloyd loom type chair in my room but it is not a big room so firstly the chair interrupts the flow as you walk around the room. But also, it becomes a natural "dropping point" for clothes on their way to the wash basket, clothes on their way to the wardrobe, towels etc.......and of course, the pile on the chair gets bigger and bigger.

    DD needs a chair in her bedroom, so I have now transferred it to her, and figure that if I don't have a natural "dropping point", I will perhaps be more likely to walk the extra two steps to the wash basket, wardrobe or airing cupboard.........here's hoping, anyway!
