Pay off mortgage and start having fun!

Morning shs, it's the Lakeland three tier. I hadn't one a few years ago and after about three years it stopped working so it lived in the garden as a normal airer. I thought I'd buy another as it was so handy, went in Lakeland and picked one up to buy , mentioned to the lady serving I missed my old one and she said return it and will give you a new one :eek: so I did!

It was about 5p ph in electric , but I'm not sure how up to date that figure is now. It takes three loads if you chuck towels and sheets over the top instead of hanging them, it dries anything including jeans/delicates etc. Not as quick as a tumble, but will dry most things overnight and I keep mine on all day if I'm out, I doesn't overheat. It really is the best thing I have ever bought

Cool. Thanks for that. Struggling to just line dry for five with the eternal rain.

If only I had the space to store a Lakeland heated aired (not that the airers go away that often...)

But, the heating kicked in this morning, so its obviously cold and with the cast iron bathroom radiator now on it will all dry in a jiffy.

Sounds like you had a lovely time in Italy- brought back my memories of a week in Pisa & Florence many moons ago :heartpuls

What a win with the cruise being cheaper on the day you boooked it- definitely worth popping in the bubbles

Great news on the company premises value. Am sure you will juggle your spends and as they are planned you can be prepared.

Are you doing anything for hallowe'en this year?

newgirly

Thanks Cath will need lots of juggling to sort my spending :rotfl:

Halloween this year dd and I are visiting the Harry Potter studio tour (again!) first time visiting when it's spooky mind other than that probably the usual, pumpkin carving Sunday and perhaps a family spooky curry. I had the most fantastic result today thought in BM bargains - I found a load of heavy self woven black Halloween tablecloths , so I bought 3 with skulls on and 2 with pumpkins -reduced to £1 each :T from around £6 each but with an Rrp of £12.99 :money: perfect for covering tables and and other furniture when we have people round for drinks.

Do you have any plans?

Spending so far from the £1500 until new year challenge is £20.05 petrol and £29.53 food.

From the not food/petrol budget I've spent more £55 on a Disney Belle's dress charm for dd for Xmas, £2 each on 2x spare duvet cover sets in £1 land -yes £2 each :eek: £6.29 on a 5-2 veggie diet cook book (giving it a try as tired of WW!) and about £16 on various tissue paper /brown paper bags and advent numbered stickers for my 5x homemade advent calendars this year.

As I said I'm trying the 5-2 diet as I'm sticking to WW a few days a week and my weight loss is stagnating, I thought if I can keep busy the two days (do it while at work, plan carefully what to eat etc.)
It may be a better system for me, yesterday was not too hard and I went to the cinema to see IT again with ds2 after work so that helped keep me busy , although watching bake off when I go to home wasn't helpful :rotfl:

Bargain duvet covers even if they weren't £1 :rotfl:

No real plans here newgirly. The children are still young enough to want to dress up and are going to a hallowe'en party but that's early November! We might also go along to an event they are doing at the zoo as there's no extra cost.

Mine are sulking that they can't trick or treat due to living in the back of beyond.
