    Hello,

    Was talking with a friend yesterday about how we know loads of people in their fifties who have been sidelined out of jobs. Is there an ageist plot going on? I am sure it won't happen to you but am thinking of joining you in buying the insurance.

    Thanks for the Internet tip...

    Still thrifty though, after all these years:D

    It's the whole dept that would be affected SSS and if I had to put money on it I would say my job is one of the safer ones. But that's not saying much at the moment :eek:.

    How's your twig GG? Mine looks even more twig-like than ever....T&M must be LTAO at everyone who has purchased a sugar almond hibiscus as probably no such thing, however they managed to get rid of a pile of twigs #delboytrotter:cool:

    NP, GG: Has your twig grown? Mine is still mostly a twig, just a couple of leaves. I found out that someone has posted about this on the GF board - I can always dream that my hibiscus twig will have a magical sprout of growth :)
    Mortgage: @ Feb. 2007: £133,200; Apr. 2011: £24,373; May 2011: £175,999; Jun 2013: ~£97K; Mar. 2014 £392,212.73; Dec. 2015: £327,051.77; Mar. 2016: ~£480K; Mar. 2017 £444,445.74

    Gggggrrrr someone stole a picture of my twig :mad:. Ok, mine is definitely not as big as that but it's got a lot of leaves and seems happy, as does the magnolia (in a pot at present). Tree peony has only one big leaf but seems happy enough.

    Ebay seems stuck at £21 but I'm happy enough with that :T.

    Spoke too soon - someone's retracted their bids so it's down to £9.50 :(.

    Postman's been.

    Seriously disappointed the fridge bottle holder thingy I ordered hasn't arrived so I can't rearrange my fridge and cupboards.

    I am turning into Tilly.

    That is all :D.
