    Loads! Not sure whether to do the really urgent stuff and sell while still needs work doing on it or to do the whole lot. I'm thinking I'll do the urgent stuff then get some valuations, if they aren't enough I'll do some more work and pay off a bit of the mortgage if poss.

    I'll still have some time off just not go away.

    Good point about DS but I think I have a few years yet - sun, food and swimming and he's happy.

    I don't like camping without a bloke there - pathetic I know. Tried and hated the Sun Haven experience... still comping! you never know... we have a nice beach and lots of mountain biking stuff not too far away so one staycation won't kill us.

    You'd have to come without Mr Bob though cos we all know about his snoring and he'd get lynched!

    :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:He is useless putting a tent up as well. I was going to say something else but thought better of it as is before watershed:rotfl::rotfl:

    well there's good news...cos I can't count I just realised I've actually lost more weight than I thought! Shall from now on work it back from target weight as that's an easier number to work with.
    only spends today were on expenses - there is such a thing as a free lunch after all...
    And there is a very cute bloke at the gym who will be mine. ok, I don't even know his name yet but...well....yum!
