    I got approved order last week for the first time and was very impressed indeed. Kitchen cupboard overflowing with chocolate popcorn for hubby and kids which I'm desperately trying to ignore.

    I love extremes of weather- very cold very hot; a deluge or a blizzard;huge hailstones or storms which have to have thunder and lightening. If truth be known in another life I would probably be a storm chaser satisfying my inner meteorologist for purely scientific purposes of course! I like my weather doing the right thing in the right season - cold in winter with a good helping of snow and warm in summer with enough rain to keep the garden happy. I have a healthy respectful fascination for the destructive force of nature, the weather just being a small part...................

    So I am not one to complain about the weather....I dont understand the British preoccupation with it either - I like to hear/watch a forecast as I think they are accurate enough to help plan anything which may be weather dependent but I dont want to discuss it at length nor complain its too cold/wet/hot etc. BUT I have to say I am now heartily sick of stuff falling from the sky - I cannot remember the garden being so wet and the surrounding fields being a quagmire for so long - looking forward to Spring now.

    Did watch today a magpie flying backwards and forwards carrying twigs - I am assuming its starting nest building so there is hope:rotfl:

    Friday....its been a busy week and as usual havent felt I have made progress with some areas. Ho hum. I must get to bank but think know it will be a quick dash into the Big Town tomorrow morning. Back to work next week and things will get busy for about 3 weeks with one thing and another. Time slipping by too quickly!!

    Morning...
    Hope you've had a good holiday. I'm just about to embark on half term. Had to bring a stack of marking home but I will get through that sooner rather than later.

    So I thought I would add up the percentage reduction of debt so far - taking into account regular payments and over payments and PADing - comes in at 3.06% :j: which is roughly about £600. Now add what I have had to put on CC with unexpected outlay this month on car and I am back to square one:( In fact beyond square one if that makes any sense :cry: _pale_
