    I just may have bought a Surface 3 to replace my iPad 2 which has been playing up for the last month

    :o:o:o:o


    I'll creep out again now. I promise that's my only splurge.

    If you can't splurge when you are MF then when can you?

    I may just have to google Surface 3 ... hope you bought loo rolls too :)
    Made it to mortgage free but what a muddle that became

    In the event the proverbial hits the fan then co-habitees are better stashing their cash than being mortgage free !!

    We're currently in the midst of an existential loo roll crisis. Our usual 48 rolls for £5 from £saver have been abandoned as they have a tendency of disintegrating more than is acceptable. As a result, we are the loo roll dispossessed and I do not know where to turn. Mr M's standard rolls are ok, but too pricey and 4 ply L1dl ones are on standby as an alternative... :D

    I won't compromise on loo rolls. Luxury from Lidl all the way :D.

    We have loo rolls :T.

    All bathrooms stocked up and order has been restored.

    I like L!dl loo rolls but the family complain they are too thick". I've bought Costc@ Kirkland ones which are more expensive per roll but the rolls are larger.

    Jobs for today - Mr T is cutting the lawns, dig up some potatoes, ironing and then it's a long walk with the hounds. Our lovely girlie has started sitting by her lead when she wants a walk :rotfl:

    To anyone who has mailed me, I'll resend menu plans.

    Best wishes Tilly x x
