    Morning, glad to see you were better behaved last night :)

    We have an early start this morning, so enjoy Halloween - my mom used to get me to peel an apple in one continuous piece, then throw the peel gently over my shoulder. The shape it falls in, is the first letter of the person you will fall in love with. I reckon she just had too many apples to use up :rotfl:

    Anther £10 S&S voucher to claim, but will leave that until I get home. I think there's just time to earn another one before Xmas.

    32p account tidy OP made this morning. The account tidies mean about another £5-6 OP per month. Must remember to transfer the h@lifax £5s after the 1st.

    Have to run, enjoy your day.

    Tilly x

    Sooooo...... I have some very dodgy homemade wine here given to me by a friend.... in the true spirit of MSE I don;t want to just get rid of it - that'd be wasteful... anyone fancy a mid morning tipple? Chilli and lime baked crisps to go with it? :D Just starts Halloween off nicely - can all have a naturally green face later in the day, as opposed to wasting unnecessary money on face paints! :D

    Tilly.... we might need a supply of buckets ad bowls come the evening....
