    PS - please wear a watch this time as I don't want to force down the dessert in record time (oh, forgot - won't be a dessert this time if you are picking up the tab) xx
    You've misunderstood as usual. Promised you a nice meal but didn't promise to pay for it :kisses3:.

    Reached payout on yougov and £45 I've been waiting on from quidco since Feb has been paid :T.

    Money talk:

    So, how long till payday :D?

    In addition to money shuffle hopefully the tenant shuffle happening tomorrow :D.

    All money suitably shuffled and spreadsheets updated. Bit annoyed 1st is a Sunday so mortgage won't go out and online fig won't update till Monday :rotfl:. On the basis I know to within a pound or two, the scores on the doors come end of Monday are:

    Mr GG debt - 33.9k :T

    Overall debt - 94.9k :T.

    Pleased the overall debt has broken another 5k barrier, but breaking 90 will take a while due to installing bathroom in btl.

    Suite ordered, 15% off, excellent reviews, free delivery so happy with that. Has 'nice taps' which will help make it look more expensive if we do decide to sell ;) but was the cheapest I could find. Need to pop down to tile place to make sure I can get tiles quickly - builder can't measure up till next Fri night but will be starting 10 days later. Sure it will be ok.

    Activated secure key thingymajig from FD. So, now I have 3 security devices for banks. When I rule the world, in addition to ladies toilets having to be centrally heated and all power leads being interchangeable, there will have to be one universal security device :mad:.

    Other talk:

    So glad it's the weekend, had a crazy week at work :eek:.

    Xmas shopping later with Mr GG. :eek: and :xmassign: in equal measures. Hopefully with no :mad: thrown in - gotta break the habit eventually :rotfl:.

    1/2 way through making roast butternut squash soup for lunch :T.

    Picked up a mystery shop earlier which needs doing this morning so that will get me up and out while it's still am :o. Bit disappointed as it's a travel money query at a supermarket - thought it would be easy money as I didn't think they had a travel money dept so would have been an exceptionally easy £10 but turns out they do:rotfl:.

    Loads of jobs applied for on edig :eek:. It said to apply for 6 but DD said to apply for them all - so I did :D. Haven't had anything from there since Aug so hope to make a decent sum :T.

    6 items selling on the bay of E, just under £40, a fair few watchers on other items so hoping total will rise, all finish tomorrow. 1 of the items I relisted is selling which is always nice :j.

    Happy St Andrews Day flag-of-scotland.gif (not in Glasgow though - awful :()

    Happy St Andrew's day to you and Mr GG, and yep, terrible news to waken up to this morning:(

    I am currently psyching myself up for a full and unadulterated return to my diary .... in just under 6 weeks. I even tapped some numbers into that calculator thingy and have a special, completely unachievable, new mortgage free date in mind. As this is non-achievable I will be able to spend the next few years in a deluded state of mind. Which kinda suits me really :p
    February13 - £74990 (or thereabouts)
    MND - Let's go for 2020 'cos it's got a nice ring to it:D
    C'mon nattypants:cool:

    Dave will just follow, and whinge intermittently till I get fed up of him.
    Oldest 2 want to go to see new Hunger games (dd1 treating dd2 as part of birthday present) so may as well nip into town and shop as drop off then drive home then back again as its 30 mins each way.
