    You do the colouring in thing, GG! I used to love doing that, but it was only about the debt ... I don't have a specific sum in mind for the pension savings, just "as much as I can manage" ... maybe I need to start a little pot or something ...

    Good news on the premium bond win, hope it carries on :)

    And you my dear need to get out more :rotfl:.

    Today's excitement will consist of gardening, making soup and a tomato sauce and, as it seems to be obligatory on here, blackberry picking at the top of the lane :D.

    No time to pick blackberries or do the back garden but I did weed the front (stones, had let it get overgrown, took yonks to do :(. Mr GG started helping yesterday but cunningly arranged for it to start raining :cool:. I took offence at a rosemary bush at the front door which had got loads of black mouldy-stuff despite a) being sprayed and b) being warned as to its future behaviour :p. So that is no more :rotfl:. I now have two neat little pots with conifers, 'acquired' from elsewhere :whistle:.

    Oh, it's very dark out already :(. Bath time methinks :).
