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.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

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.

A bumper crop of tomatoes! well done you!
I have been checking my priority moments app more and just got a text from O2 about fish and chips! Thanks for the heads up about this last week0 -
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
