    The sun is shining but slightly breezy which is lovely.

    Would love to be mortgage free by next christmas but not sure whether that's possible but will have a good go.
  • What good news Taxi- i would probably be like you and do the same. Lol, always the way when you have a bit of money and can't think of anything to spend it on.

    Thats true - get so used to the mse ways, and all that. Mind you, when I had a good salary, it helped me to save no end - I'd never had money and couldn't think what to spend it on, so it just piled up. Those were the days, hey?

    Am quite into the MSE ways nowadays...most of the time anyway.

    The most pressing thing for me is to get rid of the mortgage now...hence no spending.

    Was impressed with that amount...I had checked on line first for prices and got slightly less at jewellers but didn't mind as I really didn't want to trust RM with that amount of stuff and the postage would probably been v expensive
