  • Not sure why I only lurk, Z. Probably don't think I have anything really useful or funny to add. But I do find Hypno's thread truly inspiring and interesting.
    Maybe I will pop in a little more often.

    By the way great news on the bonus Hypno and the opportunity to actually spend it this year.

    This was in the north, heading east to west and quite low in the sky, at around 5.30pm. I wonder how many other people saw it :)

    What fantastic news! Really pleased for you. All that blooming hard work working on getting debt free makes those decisions about spending the money so much more fun. Don't forget to save a bit for the JL clearance! Love that sale!

    Waving to you all!

    Why oh why oh why......does a sore throat hurt sooo much! It is *only* a sore throat after all but this one developed yesterday late afternoon and kept me awake for most of the night - despite paracetamol AND ibuprofen, it is one of the worst pains ever!

    But it is *only* a sore throat!!!

    Ah well.....on with the day - tonight I have parents evening straight after work, then off for an Italian meal for someone's 50th at work. So a long day, but as long as this sore throat doesn't develop into a cold, it should be alright.

    It was strange yesterday - every year I get my bonus, pay it off debt, and then mourn all the lovely things I could have bought instead, as my colleagues head out to the shops.

    Yesterday, I banked my cheque and started to look round the shops and saw nothing that grabbed my attention......it really is true that when you *have* money, you think differently to when you don't!

    It was definitely a case of "I could buy it if I wanted it, but I don't want to" rather than "I can't buy it". Nice feeling:rotfl:

    Have a good day everyone - it is still soooo cold -wrap up warm xx

    Why don't you head to the lovely clothes shop you were talking about the other day?

    Well done on getting the bonus :D
