    Tilly, in no time at all you will have the freedom to do whatever the hell you want to with your money, whilst secretly feeling very smug in the company of friends (not colleagues as you will have taken early retirement:D), who have not been financially astute.

    Also, you will be able to do the following laugh;
    MWHAHAHAHAHA

    Let's all practice now:
    MWHAHAHAHAHA


    MWHAHAHAHAHA

    :D
    A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort

  • dont know Ill be good at evil laughs ... lets try:

    mwhahahaha



    mwhahahaha



    mwhahahaha



    mwhahahaha....

    perfect!! :D looking forward to the day I can do that for real at work!
  • Morning, just dropping in as back off to hospital soon. Have OPd 30p yesterday evening - last of the big spenders eh :T

    I will definitely be having a go at that laugh. I am seriously looking forward to shouting from the rooftops, well maybe having a glass of something to celebrate with.

    I don't think I posted that we now own 50% of the house, based on the valuation completed in March this year for the move to FD. :T:T:T

    We've had a huge batch cook this morning as we were up early to make sure it was finished before we left. So going into the freezer we have: green Thai chicken curry, Basque chicken, Beef Stifado, sweet and sour pork, beef casserole, beef with red peppers, smoked paprika, red onions, red wine (own recipe so no name :eek:). I'm making a butternut squash cannelloni this week, so also roasted the butternut squash. Definitely don't feel like eating today after that lot. Ovens were full to the gunnels and everything is now cooked and cooling in the garage.

    Lodger money to OP tomorrow, then mortgage at the end of the week, along with the standing order OPs.

    Enjoy the sun and it looks like the cold, cold weather is on its way :eek:

    Best wishes Tilly

  • Hi Tilly,

    Nice to hear that you are exactly at the half way mark with your mortgage.:j

    Also, it looks like you have been doing a cookathon (:T:T) -- saves time and energy during the weekdays.

    Have a good day!

    Of course we could always go for the 'naff off I'm outta here' option :rotfl:.

    Great news :)

    Hopefully not where the hound is ;)

  • Evening MRN, thanks for naming the dish, Red Beef it is :T

    Hope all is going well with you, I'm just having a diary catch up :)

  • Hi MRN, we were cross posting :). I actually think the guys on here and my diary are keeping me sane right now.
