Last night i was in bed by 7.45 and asleep by 8, I was knackered! This morning I was woken up at 6.30 by a man on a crane outside my window fitting w lightbulb in a new street light that appeared there yesterday :mad: I am waiting for a call back from the council as I can almost touch it from my window (I'm 2nd floor up) and its going to be like having the bedroom light on all night :mad: :mad: :mad:

Excellent news about your son BenBen.

When I read the above, it reminded me of Carl, in UP. He was tormented by building work around his house, to the point that he tied 1,000's of baloons to the top of his house and took off.

Now there's an idea! Life imitating art.

When we came home tonight it was dark and I thought, hmm, I dont remember leaving the light on this morning ... only to find that no I didn't but the damn street light is now on and its soooo bright :mad: :mad: I will save on electric because it is brighter than my bedroom light anyway :rolleyes: but I have no idea how I will get to sleep, well I do, I will have to close the blackout blinds which I HATE doing, as I like to wake up with daylight :mad: :mad: I cant believe theres no minimum distance they have to be from a residential window, its madness :mad: :mad:

Other than that, £53 has arrived from topcashback today :T and I went to Asda after work and got 2 of their tins of seets for £7, I got Mingles as I love mint chocs, just hope they last til xmas
I also saw a ds accessory pack which had a carry case, a wrist strap, 2 stylus's, a cleaning cloth and something else but I've forgotten what, anyway they were in a £2 clearance bin so I got two, one for ds and one for my nephew, and they scanned at £5 each, I queried it and they checked and said they shouldn't have been in the bins but let me have them at £2 each :T

If I were to buy sweets or chocolates for Christmas, they certainly wouldn't last beyond the end of the week, yet alone the end of November

Woohoo, my mse friend on the giol board has just done an offer for me, this one wasn't risk-free so we were a bit naughty doing it , but, he made £145 profit :beer: We split it 50/50 so thats another £72.50 for the pot which should get me close to losing another month off the mortgage total

benbenandme

Chucked it in the calculator and I need another £10 to get rid of March 2023but only £1 more to have met my 2009 target of reducing the mortgage to £42k :j :j :j
