How I did it
It made me
Stressed 
How I did it: With great difficulty. The seller was a nightmare. The solicitor were an even bigger nightmare. The bank managed to balls up the transaction and moving day was beset with problems. The following days after moving in have had even more problems that I'm still trying to sort out.I'm sure it'll be worth it in the long run, but short term it's been a very, very stressful experience.

It made me
Go yay! 
How I did it: Saved like nobody's business and cut right back on what I spent. No real tricks involved.I'm marking this goal as complete now... while I can - as I'm buying a flat soon (another of my 43 things), so I'll spend the rest of my life paying a mortgage off no doubt and be forever back in debt!

Ok, I’ve crossed North by Northwest and One Flew over the Cuckoo’s Nest off the hit list. Both great films!
Anyone got any great recommendations as to what I should watch next? (Already watched list in previous post)
So I’ve finally started trying to watch all 250 of the IMDb top films. I already know it’s going to take a while!
I Googled a code for Lovefilm.com that gives a free 3 month trial (XMLFZZ714 if it’s works for anyone), so hopefully I’ll make the most of that while I can.
...and I’ve also got around to compiling a big ole list of the stuff I’ve seen, not seen and really should see again:
http://blog.alism.com/the-imdb-film-challenge/
So I’m all set. Only another, errr, 182 films to go.
I did see Memento last night which was great even if I did spend the first hour just a bit confused! And 12 Angry Men was excellent the other night too.
North by Northwest and One flew over the cuckoo’s nest next…
