Hypno's cheaper than therapy debt diary.

Morning all - have just made huge vat of leek and potato soup as we dug up all the lekks from the veg garden yesterday. DH, DS & DD have gone to Birmingham to Outdoor Show and I have a list to get through - that will stop at 10 to see Hypno though !! Its raining here so no point going outside.

When are you off skiing Hypno?

HOpe everyone has a good day

Makes sense, there's no point pouring all your money into overpayments then finding you needed it for repairs etc. We save for car repairs because otherwise if it went wrong, we have no fall back, it can't just go on another card.

Also, if we do get to be in the position where we can move to our dream house, our current one will fail energy efficiency thingies because of the windows etc, so we would either HAVE to spend the money on getting them done before we sell, or we would have to drop the selling price accordingly.

So, we may as well try and get them done sooner rather than later, and at least WE get the benefit of them while we are here.

Jobs that need doing are:

• new windows and front door
• finish boarding loft and upgrade insulation
• update cloakroom and en-suite (not entirely necessary but would probably add more to the value than it costs to do)
• re-gravel driveway
• re-plaster lounge and re-paint when done

So far, we have replaced the kitchen and carpets throughout and had a new boiler fitted, so we have made a reasonable start....

Looking at that list, I need to get a few more clients booked in :rolleyes:

Morning! Just catching up! Have set the TV & at last, you'll be on! Sure you'll be fine but ca understand the putting on 10ibs! I'm slightly nervous about that for when mum & I are on TV but seem incapable of not eating [EMAIL="!!!!"]!!!![/EMAIL]!! Got the coffee ready? I feel we should all be sipping cava in your tv appearance honour!

I looked even more tired than I thought I would!!!

Oh well, I still looked thinner than Vanessa Feltz, so can't complain really.

Did my house look tidy

Karmacat

Oh thats a good idea! They should! That was great, hypno - your kids are so sweet! Good for you.

Don't take this the wrong way ..... I thought you looked much thinner and younger than I imagined Thats meant to be a compliment but hope it doesn't sound rude

The house looked like a normal happy home ... didn't notice whether it was tidy or not

hypno06

benben......any compliment very welcome. Thank you

Karmacat

Oh, what benben said is true - you did, hypno, you looked a lot thinner than you describe yourself - normally slim, I'd have said! A little bit tired, maybe, but you do such a lot, sweetie, you looked fine. Your house looked really comfortable - looking at the swags at the back, I was "seeing" nice thick carpets, and it looked warm, don't ask me why.
