    Morning, woken to torrential rain :(. Fortunately Mr T cut the lawns over the weekend, as there's no way he would be doing them today.

    44p TT to offset mortgage savings (OMS)
    £9 PC arrived in PayP@l last night and moved to OMS
    A further PC £3 due today and will follow the same journey.

    I'm making a salad for lunch, not sure I fancy that given the weather but I have lettuce to use. Dinner is butternut squash and onion risotto.

    Kids are out this evening and Mr T and I are doing the financials. For some reason, even though our spending has virtually stopped, the study is a tip. Bank and CC statements with receipts are littering the desk. It will be good to sort it out before it turns into the room of doom. We can burn any rubbish afterwards and I'll get the polish out :)

    Have a good day all - middle of the week already :T

    No heating here either. In fact had the windows open for a bit the last few days to get some fresh air blowing through.

    Heating whacked up here - am in a hotel :rotfl:. Hoping I can stock up on it and do a slow release when I get home :cool:.

    Looking forward to Frogster tales :T.
    A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort

    GG, I think I must be having a hormonal moment as I'm boiling now - I must drive the kids mad :rotfl: I'll be sitting in a T shirt and they'll be wrapped in a blanket.

    For some reason I always end up catching up with your diary on the train on the way home & end up absolutely starving reading about all the wonderful meals planned & in process :)

    Hope mr T gets some good news soon.

    Thanks for dropping by - its sausage, onion gravy and mash tomorrow - not quite as exciting but a definite favourite :)
