    I agree GG, need to declutter that wine. I am super efficient and did that last night but Ive found 2 tins of lager looking messy in the fridge, so currently drinking one and DH very helpfully sorting the other.
    You're so lucky Helen. Mr GG is not here Sunday nights so I had to tackle it all on my own :(.

    Only 1 item sold, £4.70, buts still, it's money all the same :).

    98p TillyTidy :T.

    Off for meetings today but late train and early back, same again tomorrow. Although will be working on train and when I get back it's still a nice start to the week. We won't talk about Weds........... :eek:.

    Happy Monday :D.

    When you make, or take a phone call, be sure to say the obligatory statement 'I'm on the train'. Loudly :D

    Well Tilly and Natty have had their breakfast :D.

    £1.48 TillyTidy :T. Payday Friday and am projected to have around £60 left in account on Thursday :eek:, but expecting a £100 bill has been forgotten about :rotfl:. Hopefully not, and the £60 can be OP'd :T.

    Found a great thread on early retirement, with links to other sites, so that took care of free time yesterday. Amazing to see people too scared to retire as pension 'only' 50k :eek:. So glad I'm a cheap date :). It's all relative I suppose. The irony is when we do retire I'll have more disposable income than at present :j.

    Have pre-ordered a new edition of Smarter Investing which lots of people recommend, I need to put more thought into pension. Not out till October though. Have around 3k cash in there at present as sold some funds which were pretty flat so that needs more attention, rather than spending time on 10p onepolls and coupon cutting (Tilly - have you got to that bit in Rich Dad Poor Dad yet? Made me go 'oops' :o).

    Only 4 days till the bank holiday :T.

    Morning, just finishing RDPD2, need to get first.

    Understand your point completely. I'm talking to Mr T about pensions at the moment and it's nightmarish. When our real pensions kick in we will be happy chaps, but we are looking for ways to retire when Mr T is 50, 5 years from now and that's the bit requiring thought.

    However, like always I love a puzzle. I think I'll have to sell him off if things get too bad :)

    You read the sequel before the prequel:eek: surely by reading RDPD1 the element of surprise will have gone? You'll know who the father was, his current state of affairs, and how the financial weave of mystery was finally untangled????

    Me? I'm waiting for it to come out in 3D:D
