  • Very well done. And I am still in pyjamas.....
    Paid off mortgage nine years early in 2013. Now picking and choosing our work to fit in with the rest of our lives!
    Still thrifty though, after all these years:D

    I actually worked really hard today :A and still managed to pop out before dinner and do a MS in my most hated supermarket. Unfortunately there was no queue but I was overcharged so that was ok :rotfl:.

    5 things I am thankful for:
    :D 12 sleeps till holiday
    :D nice mystery shop companies giving me free food (apart from tax) - £35 worth in 2 weeks, plus got loads of cold remedies and pain killers
    :D also picked up some yellow stickered stuff at the same time
    :D couple of little OP's to keep things ticking along
    :D did I mention 12 sleeps till holiday
    A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort
    :) Mortgage Balance = £0 :)

    I often mutter something about being on nights... despite never working nights in my life...
