well done on the money making MM and on running and having a good time Jen.
I have just joined Costa bingo anyone done that one before?0 -
Afternoon everyone, and a belated happy new year. That's exciting setting a wedding date Yukki
. Well done on your win mm, and it's nice to see you being more positive Jen. I'll have to try the scratchcard thing mm, all I seem to have got for ages is 10p. I guess if you use the logic that most people will scratch from the top left hand corner maybe it's worth starting somewhere other that that?
I went to London for new year in the end, but the pub was rammed and so noisy it was rubbish! Non of us really had a great night, they didn't even do a countdown, what kind of pub doesn't do a countdown!?! Anyway, I'm going to see the christmas panto with OH, his best friend and my sister at 5.30. We don't have any kids with us so it could be a bit embarassing lol.
I've just got back from hobbycraft, I want to learn something new so I figure sewing maybe? I usually break sewing machines, but I saw a gorgeous little cherry sewing box which has swayed me a bit, even if it was £50 :eek:.Finally bought a homeStarting mortgage £289,500 31.01.19 - Current outstanding £189,497.12Overpayments since 27.03.19: £53,964.80Moving fund so far £2500 - Premium bonds £9,5000 -
