    Literally as I was reading that Mr GG came onto the terrace naked - I don't think that's what you had in mind Tilly! :rotfl:

    • Belated congrats to Andy Murray. Watched it over 2 nights on hol (bar closed after 1st 2 sets, went back next night & it was being repeated so watched last 3 sets. Went to pay, oops, forgot purse, Mr GG had to go home for money, 40 minute round trip while I continued to toast Mr M, then barman said we could have paid following day :rotfl:)united-kingdom-flag-waving-smile-animated.gif
    • Great holiday :)
    • Still in post holiday sulk :(
    • NO HOLIDAYS booked at present :eek:
    • Mucho spends on hol - Mr GG likes to eat out........, plus put €600 in bank to cover bills till next Easter:eek:
    • For a change, someone DID pay a lot of money into bank while I was away. Remortgage completed so OP's back. ISA filled, £250 to regular saver, 1st small OP to C&G gone, waiting to hear received before paying another 4k :)
    • Mr GG phoned C&G - mortgage in his name - couldn't get through security as didn't know how much mortgage was each month. Need to persuade him to try again Monday :(
    • Found £5.19 in account I thought was closed :)
    • Egg Banking down this weekend so can only check 1 bank account, can't remember log ins for others and info is 'safely filed' somewhere :o
    • Had/having a little work down on house - eaves rubbed down & stained (1st time in 13 years :o), ladder radiators in bathroom & loo, little vanity cupboard in loo (v happy with that, it was £80 for whole thing complete with tap and sink), new tiles in loo, new lights (that I bought months ago) to be fitted. All very well, but will need to find money to pay for it.He's slow to send bill though and won't bill till all work done so I may just keep adding jobs infinitum :rotfl:
    • Car serviced yesterday, big one, £180 :eek:, luckily there is money in bills account to pay for it, but will be short for insurance in Nov :(
    • Car needs timing belt. Allegedly. I thought it didn't have one :o, need to investigate further, but that won't be cheap :(.
    • Need to relist some ebay items :(
    • Need to paint 2 fence panels - 1st job of day (after more tea :)) before I get washed :D
    • Albondingas (meatballs :D) to make later :)

    Happy Saturday everyone :).

    Change of plan - too chuffing cold :rotfl:. Waiting for sun to get round there. Relisted stuff on ebay instead and sent £5.19 to NWide. Just need St Anthony to come up trumps so I can log in there and OP it ;).

    Just laughing here GG, I read your earlier post and thought I needed to get a move on. I am feeling pretty lazy today, and now I read your next post that it's too cold. Makes me feel much better :T

    I got up and took DC to Saturday job at 6.30AM :eek::eek::eek: Came back to bed with the leccy blanket on and am just about to venture out. Mr T is telling me to hurry up.

    I reckon the Borrowers have moved in and are filing all your papers for you :)

    Get your thermals on and get painting woman.

    Bye Tilly x

    Thank you for the needle :eek:, photos, money bags and 170HKD (around £13, listed on ebay already) which you have sent me. Please keep on looking.
