    Nothing much to report other than using a few coupons during my weekly grocery shop at S@ins. Fortunately/unfortunately I did not get another tillspit to use up within a week.

    I have done some batch-cooking and have to list some things on fleabay. Gardening is also on the agenda but it is really cold outside and cloudy too. Who stole the sun? :o

    A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort
    :) Mortgage Balance = £0 :)

  • A small TT today; unfortunately there is no coin deposit in my local B@rclays branch, so keeping a photographic record of the amount.

    Outstanding mortgage amount now stands officially at circa 97K :j
