So. This mealplanning malarkey:
em....... not quite finished it yet :rotfl:. One freezer now has no meals and is for bread (mainly for DS), DS's rubbish food, frozen fruit for brekkie, frozen veg and sausages & black pudding (well, room for sausages & black pudding, there are none at present).
The other one has em....... some stuff in it. Def some meatloaf. And some lamb steaks. And some turkey steaks. And 1 pot of soup. And some other stuff and em...... lots of space. Ex OH can get chicken breasts cheap, am getting a pack of those next week, so will sort out properly then. Promise Tilly

DS has nearly finished reinstalling everything on my laptop, just as well as this work one is driving me crazy.
Only a couple of weeks till we owe less than when I started this diary 2 years ago :rotfl:. Still haven't worked out money to see when I will pay mortgage #1 off.
Tackled garage :T. Cardboard Gremlins are gone :T. General Stuff Gremlins are in temporary holding bays at back of garage. They wouldn't dare move, I gave them 'the look'. The one that turns Mr GG's legs to jelly, and not in a good way.
Car now in garage :T.
Ah yes, car............ em, that would be the car with no MOT. Oops. Will sort tomorrow, hope it passes

Well done GG
We have 3 morgages accounts as well. At least I can OP in all three whilst on fixed term!
Love the idea of christmas every 4 years, shall we start a petition?
Unfortunately you lot (yes you know who you are) have made me evaluate my christmas cupboard (took all afternoon) and wrap stuff, so I now feel less stressy about christmas and probably should say thanks!Morgage till Nov 30 GOAL MFW Sept 2016Aug 11 - £100k Aug 2016.... It's GONE!!!!!
2014 GOAL HIT 5 Stone! 2016 GOAL to be a MF marathon runner.

Car now in garage :T.
Mine too. Although I have the advantage (disadvantage) that it's a 2 minute walk from our house so the most cluttered it gets is a bottle of screen wash and a few snails!
And before you ask... yes walking to and from the garage twice a day is a pain (especially if I need a wee after an hour long commute!) but I'm stubborn and I want to save money on the insurance. I'm also unlucky so it'd be sod's law if I couldn't be bothered to garage park and it got damaged roadside parked!!!MFW: Nov 2008 £156k, Jun 2015 £129k, Jun 2017 £114k.0 -
