You are all GORGEOUS!!
Thanks...feel very lucky to have you folks about
Last few days have been quite quiet after the flurry of DFdom ( do excuse me, am still literally jumping for joy :T) .
Small DF things today..
- charged phones at work and on train
- NSD (altho OH is going out climbing so that will be a spend)
- TTs
- jacket potatoes for tea so all from stores
- someone coming to view the room at weekend..not sure it will be a perfect fit, but not much interest so far (although it's not available until May which may be why) and we are keen not to have too much of a gap in lodgers if we can
May light the stove this eve..seems a cold evening somehow. ( update..yep have lit fire and we are still using that free wood...very glad OH picked it up and carried it home )
Am musing on a new diary..but I like this one and I like it here on the DFW boards so if I may I will stay here as I crack on with paying off the mortgage...
Hope everyone is well..

Thanks guys. Yes am aware of the risk SA but I am never going back there I promise!!:D I love being DF and plan to be MF in 8 years if I can..
Busy weekend so probably won't be able to post much. I am thinking a lot about my job and whether I need a new direction. I think I would like to do a few things with my week rather than just frantically running around for my full on job. So..interesting times ahead
Have a great weekend everyone xMFiT-T4 Member No. 96 - 2022 is my MF goal

Thanks PG
No all good just family stuff...parties and celebrations!!:)
Looks like will be a LSD today..just a few groceries for lunch.
So not much to report MSE wise. Family meal tomorrow which will be a hit but had to be done...an 'all you can eat' buffet so at least we all know how much it will be and the kids can drink water then dashing home to meet potential tenant...fingers crossed guys and gals as I am fond of my lodger income and don't want it to stop! In fact it's been one of the most productive MSE things we have done since the LBM came on and stayed!
Have a good day folks xMFiT-T4 Member No. 96 - 2022 is my MF goal

Hi..all good here...and DDs still snoring in bed after a very late night..RESULT
Going to make a cup of tea and as GP would say, shake a tail feather or two, but have to say that cruising the diaries and reading the news online has made for a very pleasant Sunday morning...I am liking life at the momentMFiT-T4 Member No. 96 - 2022 is my MF goal

Pretty much what I am doing too, drinking coffee and cruising diaries 'tis good. I am currently dithering about whether to buy some new curtains for the living room, just hate spending money now, but equally hate the current curtains. I'll carry on dithering for a while, at least until I can get a stupendous bargain, cash back and gorgeous curtains :rotfl:Total debt at October 2008: £67,213.30
