    Why would they come and take your house?

    So in the deffo not NSD but MSE all the same. Previously when OH had a city job we got her a zone 1-4 annual travel card which is very expensive. It is coming due for renewal. Now OH takes the bus in the same zone. So I went to to tube station office and enquired and she can have an annual bus pass for £720 instead and now she has that. Over £1,000 a year savings

    Wow - result - go you. You have managed to impress the Dorothy and this is no mean feat let me tell you, Lady. 2.9 lbs in two weeks. Fantastic. What's happening with the dishwasher? Are you still having a standoff over selling the car? Lovely day here today which always improves the mood dontcha think? Peace prevails chez Dot (have taken DGD home), and she did sleep through so I am not completely whacked - however I shall not resume the undulations and marathon training until tomorrow cos I reckon I deserve a rest. Well done on the MSE season ticket, that's your DFD a bit closer.

    Golf-Gate (aka the car stand off) still rages on

    Go you on the saving front. I hope the Golf Gate issue can be resolved. Have you done the "each month we keep it it costs us x months extra on our DFD" bit?
    Now hope these week goes well. I am off to a conference, deep joy
