    Yawn. That's Monday done :D.

    Forgot to pay 65p over to savings at the weekend from a coupon I used so done that now and topped it off with a 35p Tilly Tidy :T.

    RIP Lou Reed :( Well, not so much peace as a bit of a blast really :).

    Morning!!!! I'm back from my exploits where I've been doing FA and just thought I'd pop in.

    By the way, my son has also moved out and I too have an incredibly large wardrobe to dismantle. I am really you? (except a prettier version:D)

    What is it about kids moving out and wardrobes being dismantled?

    I'm getting worried now as DSs is built in and I know Mr Ts DIY skills only too well :rotfl::rotfl:

    FA? FA?

    Final Adjustments to paying off mortgage?

    Fabulous Additions to savings pots?

    Frenetic Application of money saving techniques?

    Frequent Abseiling?

    I sincerely hope your wardrobe dismantling goes smoother than mine has :rotfl:.

    No pennies to Tilly Tidy :(.

    Off to London later. CBA carrying computer as shoulder sore (see wardrobe posts above :o). Need to decide whether to take iRene (as hackable wifi on train ;)) or the sensible choice of the Tim Hale book that I'm just a teeny bit scared of :rotfl:.

    Forgot to say - my mahoosive pay rise :rotfl:has resulted in my employer paying an extra £2.08 a month into my co pension :D. Spreadsheets updated but, surprisingly, it hasn't had the desired effect on my projected pension :(.

    If you take the Hale book, take a pen and pencil, he asks you to complete some sums :)
