    Happy birthday !!
    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 !!

    Hope you've been spoiled :beer:
    A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort

    A bit more shopping with dd 1, also took my £20 birthday money, managed to buy 4 tops, 1pair trousers and a Christmas jumper and 50p left.
    Did well in 70% sale in matalan. Had a £5 off 30 birthday card from matalan and at the till a neighbouring customer gave me a spend £40 get £10 off on none sale stuff. So I resorted my buys and did in 2 bits. Got the £15 off .. result.

    Belated Happy Birthday Helen, sounded great :)

    How was DM2? We really enjoyed the first one, really hadn't expected that we would.

    Glad to hear you've managed to get back to work, I don't think you deal well with downtime ;)
