    I love a bit of :xmassmile talk. We were chatting about it in work this week!

    Weather forecast looks truly awful up here too. Am thinking it will be a good excuse for a hot chocolate here this afternoon.

    Great mortgage reduction Tilly, look how far you have come!

    Mortgage-free Glee!
    It is a bit of a non story though - we all know it is July and even small children will understand a simple explanation. A very clever bit of PR for Asda who got free publicity for their savings scheme. The guy in the red suit must have been a tad toasty.
    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

    It seems a bit early to advertise but as Squirrel says, it gets them free PR.

    It is POURING with rain here :(

    No electric blanket here, but a week away on the north-east coast and I think I put the heating on EVERY day. Am officially a softie-southerner!
