    Thanks for the whats app tip, never even heard of it.

    Well done on the massive mortgage reductions, it's so inspiring!

  • Eb@y mania is hotting up. I've responded to quite a few questions, but isn't it frustrating when someone bids up by 20p :eek:

    Don't these guys know I have a mortgage to clear.

    Anyway, back to serious stuff. Just under £9 spent today on bread, milk, Easter eggs and fruit. B2G2F on the eggs.

    Working in the office tomorrow, packed lunches made and hounds walked. Energy levels are definitely up and down at the moment but looking forward to Friday evening.

  • Well done on getting near to the 100s! Those Easter eggs are a brilliant deal.
