    Have a good weekend, :)
    I've also been pleased with our house sort out this week.
    I do think our holiday plans will most likely be a week in a tent, to goodness knows where :D

    Good job on the more exercise! :T:T:T

    We got our tax return back and it's the largest we have ever received back. It was an atrocious year last year on the money front. We vastly overpaid. Now we can pay off a very costly plumbing bill and spread the rest around to saving accounts.:)
    Overprepare, then go with the flow.

    Thanks all...well the exercise continues..more today :) Sounds good mila...always good to have an unexpected return like that.

    Not much more on the MSE front. Being cautious about the OPs as think may need to conserve some money for the holiday season. So far the holiday pot is looking low.

    Tents are good..although I do prefer a motorhome...;) - how about a house swap? (when there are no Air BnB visitors? Sounds like your house is quite a catch and popular with the tourists?)

    Could you put the extra ;) clothes in the loft for a while? Friends use house swops a lot and they find them a brilliant way of saving money and getting a lovely holiday. Never done it myself but tempted often

    A very interesting article popped up on f/bk today showing an altercation between a campervan and some scaffolding down in Cornwall. Ouchy!!!
