    16 paydays hopefully ...... not that I'm counting you understand :o

    Reckon it's about 168 for me! At least, until I can get my teacher's pension. Go you, with your measly 16! :D Hope they fly by!

    14 months to go :T

    Lots of debates re renovation fund - Mr T has reminded me we're not rebuilding so it doesn't need to be the size I was imagining :rotfl:

    Spinning in an hour :eek:

    I couldn't resist counting the days....

    Taking into account holidays already booked, 68 working days to go, possibly a couple less as I have more holiday to book.

    This figure makes me :j and :eek: in almost equal measure. (But mostly :j)

    Only 68 days! Brilliant. Well worth being frugal for a bit.
    Paid off mortgage nine years early in 2013. Now picking and choosing our work to fit in with the rest of our lives!
    Still thrifty though, after all these years:D

    All I can say is 'spinning' :eek::eek::eek:

    I don't think my legs or arms will ever be the same again.

    I have jelly legs now :rotfl:

    Morning,

    45p TT to MOS
    2p TT to MOS

    Payday Friday and with all of Mr Ts travelling he's handing over the H@lifax shuffle activities to me. Sounds like he's handing over the baton :rotfl:

    Spinning was good fun but SO hard.

    I'm just about to empty the fridge and give it a clean and sort out.

    Nothing else to report today so will crack on with my chores.

    Best wishes Tilly x

    :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    I have no idea how I will ever improve but I'm going to give it a go. It's incredible how quickly these classes get booked up though :eek:

    I can walk but it looks a little more like a hobble than my usual stride :rotfl:
