    Been looking at the figures, just for a change :D. Have factored in Mr GG matching me once I've paid off my debt to him and that brings MF date forward to end of May 16, instead of start of Sept 16. Unlikely, as I haven't factored in holiday costs etc but not stopped me plotting how to not just match that but bring it forward :D. Problem is that in addition to regular monthly OP's I've factored in around £900 bonus in May 16 and a 1.3k tax rebate so unlikely there can be much movement.

    Phone prize is unlocked so waiting on free listing for that. Around £300 hopefully so after fees that will pay for the balance on iRene and also tumble drier (with lovely inside light :smileyhea) which needs paid in June.

    In other news....... to quote Britney....... oops I did it again........

    Onion soup anyone :o.

    Happy hump day everyone :).

    Letter from pension provider saying one of my funds will be charging 2% initial charge each month for new money. I don't think so :mad:. Off to do proper grown up stuff investigating alternative funds :eek:.

    Well, change made. Best fund by far was one I'm investing in through work pension (this was my SIPP) so pleased I've got one decent one (another fund has dropped around 1.5k in a month :eek:, need to investigate that) so chose another area instead.

    DD back from holiday today so pet sitting over - was definitely alive when I left for work this morning so duty done :D. Out for dinner tonight so looking forward to a good [STRIKE]chat[/STRIKE] listen :rotfl:.

    I've been living in a parallel universe where I thought the forecast was good for the weekend but at least forecast sunny tomorrow, though cold. Would like to get grass cut and weeding done but doubt it - probably still too wet. May tempt more snow by washing patio furniture, sorry folks :).

    Happy Friday :D
