    I watch strictly, the only shame is the only people left are the likable ones and the brilliant ones... Whoever goes next won't deserve it! Craig was pretty terrible :rotfl:

    I didn't even think Craig was likeable though... I want Ricky Whittle for my christmas or even Phil Tufnell!

    Decision is moving towards throwing the money into the flat and just bobbing along on the mortgage... reasons being I think it would be better for my sanity and moving before school starts again next aug would be fab and fit in with lots of DS's stuff. I feel I should hang back a few months and overpay the mortgage but my heart's not in it. I sincerely promise that as soon as I move (providing I don't buy somewhere requiring work) I will immediately start overpaying THAT mortgage!

    brrr...cold and frosty morning here but the sun is shining for once.... beds are stripped and the washing machine is on but not sure what the chances of them drying outside are - will give it a go though. Don't have a tumble dryer and I'm soooo sick of the place having washing hanging every where that I looked at buying one of those heated airers from Lakeland yesterday to say the reviews are mixed is the understatement of the year! so have decided £80 for something that MIGHT work is just not worth it...
