    Mortgage net balance is 13.4k :j but this will rise in a few days as CCard payment comes out.

    Nature Notes:
    Mr GG has a [STRIKE]skirt[/STRIKE] sarong :D.
    A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort
    :) Mortgage Balance = £0 :)

    Ooh err. What an exotic life you early retirees do lead!

    PS cheers for the heads up on the tsb regular saver :T
    a penny picker upper. MFW approx 78% to go | FIRE 3 years worth (30% savings rate: now aiming for 40%!) | Normality is a paved road; it's comfortable to walk, but no flowers grow on it | Whatever you're meant to do, do it now. The conditions are always impossible | The only thing you absolutely have to know, is the location of the library

    My new car is also blue - sort of silver blue, but he's a boy.

    As a coincidence, he's got a Spanish name - Carlos.

    I've always given my cars a name:o

    Did you know what sex he as before he arrived? I was sure LBC was a boy :D. Lovely name. I always name mine but don't use them regularly. LBC will be an exception though as LBC really suits her. Got a bit of a pattern going on at the mo - Mr GG played golf with a LWB yesterday (then a NLWB when the first one was lost :D).

    Other tenant who is behind had promised to pay yesterday but decided to have a baby instead :eek:, will be paying on Monday :T.

    Some people really need to sort out their priorities :D

    Loving hearing your updates, sounds like you're keeping yourself busy in retirement :T

    My cars are always boys.


    Some have been slightly camp boys, but they are boys nonetheless! :rotfl:
