Hi GG, I don't think I won the gold medal, but if there's a gold for swearing, sweating and saying 'my bum hurts' then I would be in the middle of the podium :rotfl:
It really was good fun and all of us were in fits of laughter very regularly - mainly at me trying to get up the hills
Hi J1982, many thanks for delurking. We are all on the same journey, just different numbers and it is a huge help having so many people around to offer support and advice. I am trying to avoid buying an accidental house but if we can reach our target on FBs challenge, then you never know. Welcome to the MfW clan.

Hurray it finally happened... I think that suggestion was a few weeks back.
Well done to all for taking part, it sounded like you had a lot of fun!MFW: Nov 2008 £156k, Jun 2015 £129k, Jun 2017 £114k.1 -

Hi MRN, back of menu planners and freezer lists, plus old paints from when they were small - I would have thought they had dried out by now, but they were still ok ish.

I used some SSM vouchers yesterday and stocked up on deodorants and shampoo - thank you Mission Control.
