Making chicken feed of my mortgage

I've just talked Mr MWC out of giving me £500 to MOP :doh:

Instead he will be transferring the money to his S&S ISA :T

Right must crack on with the list - 2 loads of laundry done but nothing else yet...

I'm glad to see that there's at least one other person trying to avoid putting the central heating on. We were house sitting yesterday and I couldn't figure out for the life of me why I'd suddenly felt a terrible blast of heat when I walked into a room.... then I remembered that radiators are a thing!

I'm not even tempted at the moment ed :A

Sitting here with the windows wide open (due to smell of spicy pear pickle) although I did use my hot water bottle a couple of nights last week!

Good morning

Just having a quick cup of tea and catch-up before I start peeling/coring/chopping more pears. It looks like I might have over-estimated wastage so I should have enough pears to pickle as well... it's never-ending!

Saw The Dads yesterday evening so we have a Dad-Free Sunday :T

Good for you on the pears - thats like a nursery rhyme! Pickled pears? Or is it peppers ... I forget

As for the heating ... oops. I put it on for maybe 20 minutes ... I've had so many lurgies this year, I need to take care. Ah well - I can see proper blue sky today, thats got to be a good thing Enjoy your dads-free day, MWC

No heating here either. Trying to avoid slipping into habit of putting it on to 'take the chill off'
