    Oooooh, proud to be mentioned on the diary of the amazing Mrs H and her wonderful family (big grin smiley if it worked!)


    Ouch to the car crash and the flooded bathroom, but so many great things too.


    Best wishes for 2016, will continue to silently support you and pop head around door if any useful thoughts spring to mind.

  • Oh bless Superman for knowing the best bit about Christmas is being with the family :A. What a lovely young man!

    Glad you've had a lovely time (apart from the accidents etc :().

    You put me to shame with all your savings pots and organisation. I need to be more like you!

    Hope you have a lovely New Year Xx

    :beer: good times!

    Thank you all for your comments, Thankfully only my pride was injuried in the crash and no one else involved, also thankfully we have a fab landlord who sorted the shower/bathroom flood out really quickly!

    Lucky I have to be organised or it all goes pear shaped rather spectacularly! :rotfl:

    I feel very restless today, egar for the fresh start that a new year brings. Hoping this will be the year (like every year :rotfl:) that I make changes and stick to them longer then new years day :o

    Tomorrow morning I rejoin chub club, this afternoon I have hunted out my gym kit and trainers ready for when the little Hinges go back to school. I nee to get fit, I need too lose weight but most of all I need to keep busy and use all the lovely gym endorphines to keep the greyness at bay.

    I am trying out some yummy skin care stuff my BFF (as missy Hinge would say :rotfl:) bought me for my birthday in order to help my sore skin. I'm hoping to get better at pampering myself and generally taking better care of my skin, hair and nails. I will provail in my quest to be a yummy mummy at the school gates :o

    I aim to pay of £7k of our debt in 2016 and reduce our creditors by half.

    I am planning to have 2 child/mr Hinge free social activities a week just for myself. I have being going to a lovely knit and knatter group and intend to find another!

    what are your hopes, dreams and goals for 2016?

    Happy new year folks! :beer:

    In the 2016 the Hinge household are declaring war on unfinished business!

    2016 is all about working at finishing things we have started and tying up as many loose ends as we can!

    We need to complete......
    • the garden transformation
    • the electrical gadget declutter
    • Superman needs to complete his level 5 at swimming
    • missy Hinge needs to complete her guitar grading
    • I have umpteen crafty things to finish... cross stitch, crochet blanket, knitted scarf.......
    • books to finish reading
    • health and fitness
    • Debt busting!!
    Doesn't seem alot written down in black and white but feels a mammouth task.

    All little Hinge's up and out to school this morning :j shock to the system actually having to have them all washed, dressed and fed before 10am :rotfl::rotfl:

    this morning I have paid the council tax (dunno why this is the only bill not on a DD...... will have to sort that!!) £50 over payment to Mr H's CC made today, slowly but surely and all that :o Paid this months snack money and top up fees for master H's preschool this morning..... topped up missy H's card (she gets £10 a month for break times/drinks to go along side her free dinners) and filled Superman's wallet up with 20p's for his milkshake at lunch time and his drum lesson invoice paid at the office:rotfl:£10 in my purse for chub club tomorrow and a coffee with my friend in the afternoon. :o money goes out faster then it comes in :eek: but at least its all paid and sorted. Bank looks reasonably ok!

    I spent £11 of my christmas ££ on some face cleanser from Lush, im on day 4 and already it's cleared up my spotty skin, I'm slowly getting in to a routine of things to help with my slummy mummy to yummy mummy transformation :rotfl:

    Spag bol stuff has been diced and sliced and thrown in the slow cooker this morning ready for tea tonight as it will all be abit of a rush..... I'm Hoping Mr H will take the boys to the barbers whilst Missy H has her guitar lesson and I take the cat to the vets.

    now to sit down and do some knitting in front of the tv, my hips and back are really sore today and kept me awake last night!
