  • No news yet on my matured sharesave plans *feeling impatient*

    Still no news - must get the paperwork out and read it properly!
    Not as impatient now though as the shares went up in value today :D

    Bengali butternut squash & chickpea curry for dinner :drool:

  • Paperwork annoyingly vague...

    1 December - maturity date
    After 1 December - despatch of share certificates

    :mad:

    Do you think this dress would be suitable for my aunt's funeral? It's knee-length on me.

    Very suitable MWC - sorry it's needed :(
    A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort
    :) Mortgage Balance = £0 :)

  • It has been a long day... nearly the weekend though :j

    Long but quite good:

    - Spoke to social services about my great aunt - fingers crossed they have found her a care home and she'll be released from hospital soon :)

    - farmer's market at work - I "treated" Mr MWC to 2 x rare breed pork chops, a pheasant and some mixed game sausages!

    - I was in the right place at the right time to get a bottom branch from a 15 foot Christmas tree - free festive foliage :T
