As I have nothing to report on the mortgage front, I will blabber about something else. NSD today. :j:j
I guess last week's M&$ 02 promotion must have been well-received. Now, I see few more food offers this week - 25% off Gastropub range, Fish n'chips 2 for £4, 25% off modern asian range, 25% off woodfired pizzas. Now this is what I call catch big fish with small fish. Anyway there is also a £5 off wys £35 on clothing and home, if anyone is interested.
I have downloaded the new shop-save-scan app from Martin's email and installed it to get a free jar of Nescafe.
I was hoping to bag free cavity wall insulation from one of the energy suppliers. But, alas our home has no cavities in the walls, having been built in Victorian times.

Hi, Good morning everyone,
I thought I'll post a picture of my tomato harvest here for those interested. Still more to come. :j
Another NSD yesterday, but today I'm very much tempted to go glitch shopping at MrA.
Have a good day, everyone

NSD today. In fact, I had gone shopping yesterday and have bought all the weekly essentials. I had a marathon cooking session today morning - have made poached pears and baked cinnamon apples for dessert for the next few days and stewed some apples and pears. Now that fruit season is in full swing, I guess this will be the pattern for the next few Saturdays.
Have a relaxing weekend, everyone!Mortgage: @ Feb. 2007: £133,200; Apr. 2011: £24,373; May 2011: £175,999; Jun 2013: ~£97K; Mar. 2014 £392,212.73; Dec. 2015: £327,051.77; Mar. 2016: ~£480K; Mar. 2017 £444,445.74

Friday is pay day. So, looking forward to boosting my bank balance. It has plumbed to unknown depths this month.
I timed it right for YS in M@S today - so bought lots of breaded cod, roast chicken, salami, chorizo, granary batons, garden peas, sliced runner beans, oranges etc.- paid with reward vouchers. So, another NSD - almost, paid 4p for the M@S goodies. Also, checked into £co at 3 shops for 30p.Mortgage: @ Feb. 2007: £133,200; Apr. 2011: £24,373; May 2011: £175,999; Jun 2013: ~£97K; Mar. 2014 £392,212.73; Dec. 2015: £327,051.77; Mar. 2016: ~£480K; Mar. 2017 £444,445.74
