Granny, Orange Wednesday's sounds like a great idea!
It was a nippy start down here as well, but I am going to try to hold out until at least the 1rst of October!
Up early today and on my way to the gym. It's really no frills, £16 month and I do feel better once I have been. It is the dragging myself there that seems to mostly be the issueMortgage: £280,752/ £262,515.84

I'm feeling quite lucky as it's still very warm in Kent. Haven't even thought about putting the heating on yet. Bet it's on its way here though.
Stay warm

Och! NL - sorry to hear about your car. That's horrible. Some people are so selfish and uncaring of their actions consequences for other people. Karma will bite them in the A** I'm sure.
Hope you're enjoying the gym today.
Sun is shining up here, my month-end is closed and I have a long weekend booked for this weekend.

Sorry to hear about your car. My bonnet got keyed before the car was a month old and the feeling that someone could do that was terrible.MFW: Nov 2008 £156k, Jun 2015 £129k, Jun 2017 £114k.0

Haha... When I'm not on here, I"m on Pintrest (and occasionally Facebook). It's a miracle I have time to do anything else, to be honest!
I love Pinterest. I posted on the DMP thread the other day about a money-saving idea I found on there to make my own laundry detergent! Borax and other ingredients ordered online and on their way to me 0 -
