  • DH does mystery dining stuff as he is often to be found loitering around an airport. They often seem short of people to do the air side MSs. He gets a free brekkie so is happy :)

    Just seen a 'designer handbag' mystery shop in an airport - hey Tilly, it could be your Christmas present!

    Actually I wonder if MrT is ever on one of those weekday men in suits flights I occasionally get for work purposes?!?!

  • A mid-week update on the fiscal front list...
    To do on the fiscal front:
    Switch gas/elec - completed my end, just waiting for the switching procedure now
    Switch or barter with phone/broadband - silly TalkTalk, I could only make the broadband part cheaper over the telephone and the land line bit cheaper on the internet (!). Phone call done but keep getting error message when attempting to buy value line rental upfront. So half way there.
    Call HMRC - letter saying I owe £xxx by January but my HMRC self-assessment balaence = £xxx!!! Also they're asking for class II but I have an exemption form.
    Make doctors appointment - booked for Friday
    List 3 items on ebay - done, 4 watchers in total
    Sort for car boot - halfway through the house
    More remortgage paperwork from the potential new provider this time

  • Just realised it's our moving in together/house/mortgage anniversary today! Really pleased that we're 3/4 the way through the renovations and been OPing small but regular amounts from the start.

    Now where's those celebration/self-congratulating/pats on the back emoticons?... oh where's GG when you need her?
