    Hide away :)
    Maybe say you've moved to a high interest deposit account to start saving for extension?
    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 !!

    And managed to work (skive) from home today!
    House is a total tip so need to probably sort that out today. We just don't have any clothes storage so its like a laundry! Should probably factor in the cost of a carpenter to the extension costs and get some actual wardrobes!
    Must get dressed at some point too.... lazy day!

    2 and a half days to go in this horrible job!!!
    Yesterday was a NSD which was good considering I was working at home :)
    Productive day yesterday - cleared through a couple of rooms, got some [EMAIL="eb@y"]eb@y[/EMAIL] stuff ready to go and some stuff for the charity shop.
    Also - now I have long hair - learnt 2 new hair styles (it normally just hangs there looking a bit rubbish!)


    Very MSE day today - ate the last of the mouldy rolls from the bbq for brekkie and then moped'd to the train station (hair has suffered for it!!)


    Not sure if I mentioned my little moped?! Defo a good MSE device!


    £70 a year to insure and £17 to tax - cheap as chips! Now don't have to pay my £7 a day at the train station or pay for parking in town! Oh and it costs about a penny a year to run! Love it :)


    Halfway through the week peeps - nearly the weekend!

    You are a biker LJ!



    Kinda?!!! I sold my motorbike coz its was just too much for me and a moped is more my style lol! Can zoom where I want now! Oh and its even more MSE as I have such a pea head that I had to buy a kids helmet which was way cheaper!!


    Uh oh - OH has just realised I've stolen money out of the joint account - he's just text me he he! He'll get over it - its for the greater good!!


    (how much £ will I have to find if he decides to divorce me?!)

    OMG its horrible here! Rain, thunder, the lot!
    It does mean I don't want to venture out today and risk spending tho!
    Off to my friends tonight to celebrate our new jobs - have a bottle of wine left over from the BBQ so that's coming with me!
    The big tidy up will continue today (well I am working at home!)
    Last day in job tomorrow!!
