    Very jealous of you Hypno but you have obviously worked hard for it and deserve it :)

    In your spirit of success I let OH have the snickers I bought for him - normally if it sits on the table for more than a few hours I assume he doesn't want it and eat it for him!

    I totally agree with you about taking time to enjoy life, busting debt has it's purpose but it also has it's place and in some situations it just isn't that important.

    Very happily married on 10th April 2013 :D

    Well done Hypno on the weight loss that is excellent :j but as you say the real work is keeping it off but I think from reading your diary regularly that you are in the right frame of mind to do that at the moment.

    Had to smile about your Gold Medal garden :rotfl:

    Hi - just been catching up again and was very pleased to hear you are going to focus on enjoying life and let the debts go down at a steadier pace. You will get there in time - as we all will. I'm pretty sure you never want to go back to those dark days of mega debts again.

    You are so lucky to have a bonus to look forward to - I realise you work very hard to it but have to admit to being a teensy bit jealous LOL.

    I have definately fallen off the debt busting wagon and have had several spending sprees (not too mega - but mounting up) recently. Once I get back from holiday I WILL take stock of debt, diet and well-being again. But I am going to enjoy my holiday without going too silly spends wise first - don't think I can be good diet wise with pasties and ice-creams and cream teas and.......

    How close are you to the beach since you said your ds had gone to beach in the sun - I'm on the verge of having a big strop COS....... I want to live near the beach...... I want a rumpus room like LLama...... I want to be really near my goal weight.......AND I WANT it ALL NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!! - only kidding (I think) - enjoy!!! But all things considered I am happy with my lot.............

    Thank you all for your Rumpus room envy - I assure you that they are very common over here, its not as if we are rich or anything like that!

    In the spirit of MSE - anyone who comes over can share my rumpus room - can't say fairer than that now can I?

    Well done on weight loss Hypno and big love to Taxi. xx

    Morning all - I took some night nurse last night because I am full of a stinking cold now, which was fine until my alarm went off and my head did not want to move from the pillow.....

    Scratches done - got £1 :j plus the usual 10p.

    Now off to do banking and remind the children that their bed is not where they should be right now! Have a good day xx

    I've just posted on your diary - glad you are popping in!

    When I went through my break up with OH, the lurkers came out in force, and I was amazed at the support that I had on here. It really kept me going, and gave me a place where I could be honest, which was much needed.

    That's because I'm a tough old boot (most of the time) too :D
