Hypno's "bursting with energy" diary.......

duchy

There are LOADS of recipes for breadmakers on OS-although I find google works very nicely too.
Kitten appears to have recovered from his first trip in a cat carrier for the "unkindest cut of all" yesterday and doesn't appear to be bearing a grudge.
For the third time in 2 weeks I'm without gas-but this time they can't fix the meter so are replacing it today. I have spent HOURS waiting for engineers to turn up-supposed to be within 4 hours but the worst wait was 10 (apart from last night which was 5.5 hours at 11pm when I called and told them to reschedule for this morning). Good thing I work from home or I'd never get it fixed !!
Will kill time with bingo today (free money from both Butlins and Paddy Power-check your emails) Paddy Power have also agreed to give me a free bet despite the fact I have a bingo account with them-result
Fab news about the electricity bill-it just shows we can all make savings

Hi duchy, sorry to read you are still having so much problem with the gas.

I have done the free £1 from butlins (got one on Friday and another on monday!) but didn't win.....still waiting for the paddypower £ to be credited sometime today.

I know, but not sure if I can stay awake that long - just to receive a free £ at 11pm :rotfl:

Off work from today - hurray! Loads to do before we fly on Thursday but all fun errands (birthday present shopping, getting hair cut, etc). But have a promotion reference left that I didn't get finished yesterday and feel duty bound to do it though am technically on leave - after all - someone's future might depend on it - and she deserves the promotion! So that is my first job this morning. Hopefully won't take long.

Have a feeling the next week won't be very DFW but will then start again from where we are with a vengeance after the break (which we desperately need - both of us have been pushed to the edge with stress over recent weeks).

Have a great day everyone!

If you feel that she deserves the promotion, then you should def do the reference.....you would feel awful if the only reason she didn't get promotion was because you didn't do the reference!!

Don't worry about being DFW on holiday - it is a one off special occasion - I have spent too much in France, one way or another, and my debt has suffered as a result. BUT in a way, it has spurred me on to tackle it even more, so I see it is a positive thing (well, you've got to, really!).

Enjoy your time away, and come back refreshed and ready to kick debt's a$$!!

:rotfl: prize winners will be announced later in the week :rotfl:

The loan money has hit the bank account, and I have cleared MBNA in full :j Just need to wait 2 days for it to clear before we can close the account completely - it will be a big relief to get rid of them once and for all.

£425 is going to OH parents to clear a small loan we have with them - no pressure to pay it off, but a feel good thing nonetheless.

I want to clear my egg card and make a chunky payment to OH's but their website is down :mad:

Overdraft is cleared and we can start May on an even keel......spreadsheets for the next three months will be worked on shortly.

I can't complete my figures/snowball etc until Egg is done.......bah!!

Can I join the competition? I'm DEFINITELY last! Page 4 already, and still no kitten pictures...

Brill news about getting the loan if it's going to save you money - I don't think consolodation loans are a bad thing if you know what you're doing, and you certainly do by now!

Was actually thinking about starting a new diary of my own (although it's nowhere near as big as yours!) to signify a new chapter in my life but not got around to it yet - maybe for May.

hypno06

aha! So the competition is still wide open!!

I need to find the dongle thingy that takes the camera memorycard for the laptop in order to put kitty photos on.......I am working on that!!

I get quite motivated when i start a new phase of the chapter - need to sieze every opportunity to have little "push" in the financial area!!
