    a penny picker upper. MFW approx 78% to go | FIRE 3 years worth (30% savings rate: now aiming for 40%!) | Normality is a paved road; it's comfortable to walk, but no flowers grow on it | Whatever you're meant to do, do it now. The conditions are always impossible | The only thing you absolutely have to know, is the location of the library

    Dear Natty Pants
    I am starting to wonder just how much chocowine you drank? It must have knocked you out for a while.

    Natty is obviously hiding her head in shame either from the amount of chocowine consumed or the lack of OP's :)

    LydiaJ - wowsers!!!!!! Your back story is certainly one to keep my diary alight. Thank you for sharing, and I do feel honoured and just a little bit special that you choose moi :lovethoug

    Chocowine is for Christmastime people. I am now onto my next thing which is FROTHY coffee, made with THIS (still can't do links) http://www.amazon.co.uk/Bodum-1446-Latteo-Milk-Frother/dp/B000BZ6BXE/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1394569126&sr=8-1&keywords=milk+frother. It's well fab and makes the frothiest milk in the world EVER!

    I also have paid a full 10% MOP, have a S123 AND an ISA on the go (well as soon as they cash the frickin' cheque). I am indeed a newly reformed character - well almost - I still have very questionable behaviours and complete Uni stuff by the skin of my teeth:p

    Hang on, 2% battery (not me, the iPad). Best get charging ....
