    I am the original proverbial bad penny MWC. I feel terrible for abandoning B&G and have sooooo much to catch up on.

    First things first though. Have you done any more decorating?

    Sorry to disappoint Natty - I've been spending my money on plants, more plants, MOPs and holidays!

    nice to see you popping back from eat all you can spend all you can :)
    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 !!

    Meant to add, the exercise/get fit thang going on must have made a mini-impression on me, as I have just returned from a late night dog walk (totally not the norm at this time of night). Just as well though as the pooch had 3 separate poos - poor wee thing she must normally be having to hold off until morning!!!

    I am aiming to do day 1 of my C25K app tomorrow morning also:A
