    I'm feeling like a bottle of pop - all fizzy with eb@y excitement.

    Well done on the admin :T.

  • 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.

    Have to run, Tilly x

    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.

    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:

    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 :D.

    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. :)

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

    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
