We are definitely in the same mood this evening

And this morning, judging by how I nodded my head to the line on your diary 'I need to wake up to more blue sky than grey'.

Apologies to Mr T :kisses3:.

Mortgage day :T. Total mortgages (less BTL) dropped below 125k*, so another brick in the house coloured in. Own BTL not dropped another k, but over 21k OP'd, so another green square filled in . Not bad OP's on my own in less than 3 years :T.






* decided to totally ignore the fact it goes back above it tomorrow :rotfl:.

Am I the only one who thinks the medals on the purple lanyards look like they are made of chocolate and the podiums are great big Cadbury's Daily Milks :EasterBun

Nope as I said exactly the same to Mr Tilly last night x x x

Oh dear, this Olympics watching is hard work .

Nightmare journey last night, 2.5 hours instead of 1.5 :eek:. Went across country(ish) as motorway had serious delays, stopped off to get some fruit to eat in the car from a little Tesco Express, doing my best to ignore smell from chippy next door . Left 10 mins later with:
Pack of stir fry veg
Pack of rolls
2 courgettes
Rocket salad
2 large packs of grapes
Finest coleslaw
3 finest rissottos
2 packs cherry plum toms
for a total of £2.55 . Amazing how that lifted my mood .

Need to go shopping this morning though to use £6 till spit from Mr S, list made.

Also need to buy fence coat and make a start

Onepoll money arrived, duly paid off, plus some ebay money . no change to end date which is showing as Sept 14. Em, don't think so .

33 items ending today, 7 selling for a total of £9.45. A lot are BIN so will be relisted.

Fixed the fridge freezer Thurs night. Fridge not draining so puddles of water in bottom. Had been annoying me so much I was seriously considering a new one. Googled and thought the drain tube was frozen. Pulled out ff and had a look, def not frozen as tube behind radiator thingy and felt pliant. V long twisty wire thing made and shoved in. It would appear it was blocked with em......gunk? dirt? ecoli breeding ground? Like something out of a C4 programme 'Clatty Housewives' . Spent 1/2 hour cleaning with wire & boiling water poured through, ended up with a bottle of anti-bacteria liquid. Fixed. Equal measures of :T, :eek: and .

Good luck Jess, Mo and men's 4 at Eton Dorney. Probably some cyclists as well. And all those who don't 'medal' or, the new verb 'podium' - well done to all of you.

'To podium'.

I podium (v unlikely :rotfl:)
You podium
He/she podiums?
They podium? They podia?

Wish I'd done Greek & Latin instead of O level Chemistry :cool:.

In the words of Mr Hadley:
"Gold
Always believe in your soul
You've got the power to know
You're indestructible
Always believe in, because you are
Gold"
