    PS - how's your bottom? Leave you to explain away ....
    My bottom is very well thank you. Though I suspect there will be a John Wayne swagger tomorrow :rotfl:.

    Mini-adventure this morning (which Mr GG is alluding to, though he WASN'T involved for those of you with dirty minds ;)). Bought a nice honeysuckle and very fragrant rose for mini-seating area at bottom of garden. Other gardening chores today and tomorrow with quick shopping trip and watching Wimbledon.

    Oops. Been missing in action :o.

    High risk strategy this morning. Instead of sorting Room of Doom in situ I decamped it all down to living room as DS and gf were in bed next door. Managed to tame it relatively well, don't think any has escaped to breed elsewhere :rotfl:. Found £9 Pinecone vouchers and £1 toilet paper voucher, plus sorted out Boots ones - need to use before tomorrow and I need a few things.

    Chum getting me wireless printer - ridiculous, it's cheaper to get new one than buy ink for old! Mr GG has claimed old one so can't ebay it. Have paid her, minus some other bits and pieces and it came to odd pence so she can do a Tilly Tidy :rotfl:.

    Oops. FLW on ebay, will try to do some this afternoon.

    Done a few on line app surveys this week, including an Asda shop. V organised, went on mysupermarket on laptop and found all the savvy buys and special offers so bargainous shop coming in 1 - 3 hours :T.

    Hopefully workman coming to do some jobs starting Monday. The longer it takes him to turn up the longer his list will be :rotfl:.

    Work a bit :eek:, lost around 15% of dept's work this week which was careless :rotfl:, on top of other recent losses. May be a race to finish line between me telling them to naff off and them saying it to me :o.

    Happy Saturday :T.

    Just for you El, update after mortgages have been paid:
    Mortgage 1 - interest dropped from £2.01 a day to £1.99 but will go back up to £2. Next month will drop to £1.98 then back up to £1.99, but the £2 barrier will have gone :D
    Mortgage 2 - interest dropped from £2.26 to £2.24 and stays at that.
    Mortgage 3 - interest dropped from £1.50 to £1.48, back up to £1.49.
    Overall: £5.77 down to £5.72 then back up to £5.73.

    Total net debt 104k :T.
