Morning, drum roll please........... 3p TT OP made. This mortgage will be gone in no time
Definitely NSD ahead.
Exercise is on the cards for tonight. I am doing circuit training with Mr T, weights, trampette, stepper thingy. 30 mins. :eek:
I have not weighed myself for a few weeks now. Weigh day is end of February.
Lunch is leftover risotto from last night. This evening it's butternut squash with pine nuts, creme fraiche with pasta - made up recipe so hopefully it will be ok.
I've updated our ad for the lodger and it will be live in early March.

3p that is low but every little helps. Well done on the exercise I love circuits hard but so satisfying. One good thing about being at risk of redundancy I have lost 2 lb not a route I would recommend though.
Good luck with e weigh in.Save £12k in 25 No 49

Hi Tilly.
I'm seriously contemplating making a £3 overpayment on the mortgage today-but it seems such a nominal amount in the grand scheme of things...
Shrove Tuesday today-so it pancakes all the way for us tonight-despite the unhealthiness.
Lots to do today.
Just realised you put an overpayment of 3 pence Tilly so maybe £3 isn't so nominal after all. :rotfl:GE 36 *MFD may 2043

If you dropped £3 would you bother picking it up? Yes? Then it's worth OPing. No? Give me your address, I'm on my way.

Yes-totally agree, I pick up pennies-much to my children's disdain :rotfl: I have duly paid the £3 off.
Only yesterday I found 2 pennies-picked them up and they are in my money tin.GE 36 *MFD may 2043

If you live in studentsville how about a student lodger? I had a first year nursing student as a lodger she was lovely.0

Crikey, I'll have to read all your messages properly later. I've just come in from work and am in eb@y mania. I had no idea the things we were selling were this attractive, I would have flogged them sooner
. Currently everything will sell, and we have bidding wars on 3 items.
My iPad trills every time there's a bid and it's trilling every few minutes - never ever experienced this before so had better enjoy the moment.
I'm off to run my hands together and dream of OPs :T:T
