    Hey PBR. Nice to see you again. I'm glad you like my hair. I haven't washed it today ;) :rotfl:

    Yay to OPing :j

    I'm glad you are happy where you are working and your friendship is still good. Always a hard one that. She must have thought you were good or she wouldn't have asked you.

    Welcome back to MSE. I'll put the kettle on :D

    Wow - it's been a long time since I posted here! Time flies when you're having fun (or trying to save money).


    Well September was great and I think I did fairly well with my September spending diet. However, October was a pretty spendy month, but mitigated slightly by a couple of things including a couple of overpayments.


    Our mortgage is huge (our house, however, is not), and we're about £4,000 away from a milestone, so I'm going to aim to dip under this by the end of the year. By that I mean we WILL dip under this by the end of the year.


    It means being super frugal, so please shout at me if I buy anything unnecessary.


    And that includes these biscuits next to me..Shout at me please!

    I believe biscuits are evil and need to be donated to your nearest Hurdler. No really, I insist... works?
