    Glad you are behaving as the neighbours would be complaining.


    The neighbours were the instigators Tilly :eek:.

    AJM - get the baby bath out. I'll hang the treacle scones up :)

  • Now GG, we both know that's not true. You and Froggy are the ring leaders here. Will need to speak to Radish when I get back about taking ownership and accountability but for the moment too much red wine consumed and early night required.

    I can see that the bottle recycling box is completely overflowing so you clearly emptied all my cupboards, now what will I have left to celebrate my one year anniversary with :eek::T

  • Morning, off out in a short while for a morning of museums - may need a lie down this afternoon to recover.

    It's interesting that the :money: thing has also come on holiday with us. So far nothing has gone on credit card, breakfast has been included and we've had a lunch picnic 2-3 days to allow us to spend more money in the evening, on some fantastic meals.

    Have a great day and a virtual 'pinch, punch, 1st of the month and no return'

    "kick and a flick for being so quick" (can I do that if you said no returns?)
  • 25p account tidy OP moved.
    Haven't got H@lifax details so can't switch 2x£5 yet.
    Regular saver has matured and have moved £3k OP to mortgage account :T:T.

  • Thanks Brizzle, I'm glad to see you back posting on your diary - life does throw a few challenges at times, but having a diary is a big help.

    Yep, I need to set my goals up on the MFi3 thread. I have been contemplating pushing for 12:12:15 to be shot of the mortgage even earlier but there's no way we could achieve that. Mr T and I are having a chat over the next few days about aims. Would be great to knock it on the head even earlier but that would mean sacrificing our social life and we only have a few more years before the kids go, so that's not happening :)

    Best wishes Tilly x x x
