  • say-ax-win it is then - I won't repeat what I'd been saying ;)

    Anyway, I like the idea of committing to something for the next 12 months so I'll come up with my list shortly; one of which will be to post more frequently on here.

    Believe me, if I could find a way to change the name I would! I don't know what possessed me to choose it.

    I like the idea of a commitment for the next 12 months too, perhaps some of us long-haulers could have our own 2008 challenge.

  • I don't know what possessed me to choose it.

    Maybe it was the spirit of the Anglo Saxon queen - wooooo (that's the sound of a ghost by the way :))

    My worst habit is overcommitting myself, so I'm going to make sure it is realistic and achievable (is that really my worst habit? ;))

    Anyway, just found out that I'm not going to have any Internet access all next week :eek: :eek: :eek:

    aaaaaarrrrrgggghhhh no internet access!! blimey GTD, want to camp at mine for a week? ;-)

    I think your challenge should be to resolve to MB away a third of your debt by the end of the 12 months. along with your regular monthly payments you'd virtually be debt free!! wohooo! (not the sound of a ghost, sound of me saying WOHOOOO very loudly!) xx

  • aaaaaarrrrrgggghhhh!! I thought I heard a really loud ghost then! :D

    Yes, pania, that's a good incentive to get the MB underway, so here goes...

    re: the loss of internet - I'm going to Spain for a week and I'll be in the middle of nowhere. So there are plusses and minuses. A kind of Betty Ford clinic to wean me off my MSE addiction maybe?

    I'll happily camp round yours for a bit if you teach me MB :)
