    I'm having a quiet day - pottering in the garden but not much else :)

    It's Mr MWC's turn to go to California on business - he's at the airport but bumped off the flight :mad: Waiting to find out his new travel plans...

    Wowsome mortgage overpayments! :at

    Sounds like a lovely trip xx
    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

    How can you get bumped off a flight if you have a ticket?? Hope it all got sorted out.

    Not only did he have a ticket, he also had an allocated seat!!! Original plane taken out of service and replaced by smaller plane. BA have given him £474 compensation (holiday spending money :T) but it does mean that he now needs to fit 5 days of work into 4 days.

    I have the day off (TOIL for BH Monday) :D

    At least it wasn't personal! Hope he gets all the work done... And you enjoy your day off and extra spending money.
