Hypno's kick up the backside debt diary....

hypno06

So far it is only ink cartridges that we have thought of really, and I only got the idea for that from ebaying them, which I got in turn from the "things you never thought you could sell" thread on here!

So once again well done MSE/DFW - I have a feeling this ski trip will be entirely thanks to these boards :T

Hi Hypno

Will your kids be doing things like sponsored what evers! If you have a paypal account I am prepared to sponsor them!

So far DD is being sponsored to stop biting her nails.....and so far everyone's money is perfectly safe :rotfl:

Ah right! that isn't working then! LOL what about DS? Oh and if you DON'T have paypal I can send a cheque! This is a fantastic opportunity for them and you and your OH are great for letting them take it! My sis was able to go on a cruise at school but by the time I got to the same age we had moved and nothing like that happened at my new school!

I would like them to do a sponsored bedroom tidy.........but I think everyone's money would be safe there as well!!

I will get my thinking cap on

I told my DD3 I'd buy her some pet mice if she stopped biting her nails. I thought it was a safe bet but she did it and she has been a devoted mouse keeper ever since. Now my DS is insisting on the same deal, I swear he started biting his nails on purpose. Never mind, mice are cheap and delightful pets.
Anyway, to business, just thought you should know that as of today my debt total is £35457.12 :T I'm not going to update my sig just yet as there are some bills to pay so it'll go up again before hitting the magic 35

Olive, well done all the achievements today, especially the car. Do you have your own thread? I only glimpse you occasionally on hypno's.

Evening Hypno.. sorry to hear you're feeling so tired. I can sympathise, two days back at work and zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz. Hope you get a good rest tonight and are up and raring to go tomorrow.

How long have you got to raise the £7000 - do give a big shout up when you think of something sponsored, will happily donate a few quid!

Would anyone mind if I was to start a new thread for a ski fund ??? Has anyone any ideas on how we could get the money to Hypno (paypal / cheques etc) without her having to give out her address or any details that could be compromised iyswim?? Hypno how would you feel about this?? If you would rather we didn't then thats fine, but there are lots of us on here who would like to support you in some way

Woo hoo Seaxwyn! The challenge finish line is in sight! I am so pleased for you and look forward to it being 34 something very very soon.

Redsquirrel - I have until the end of November

Benben that is a lovely idea, but I really do feel that it is a bit of a strange thing, having a fund for something so unessential when everyone is trying so hard to work through far more important stuff like big debt, flood damage etc, some of which is possibly damaging to health or at risk of losing homes etc .

Whilst the ski fund is a big thing for us, others may well think it no more important or essential than the desire for a family trip of a lifetime to Disneyworld and I would hate to offend people who are really here for far more important things.

So, thank you so so much for the idea, and for the thought, but probably best for me to have my challenge here rather than in the wider DFW world.
