I have decided I have enough clothes Butti:rotfl: lets see how long that lasts! I shall try and make it to the end of the year without buying anything (although zip on boots might go so might need boots but that was a need:p).
I am the world's most productive procrastinator - place was sparklingly tidy with tidy garden and empty linen baskets:D Assignment done night before deadline in blind panic:mad: Something due a week on monday and have I opened the book next to me? Of course not, despite knowing that it'll be really interesting once open:rotfl:
P.S. Also on diet til Christmas:eek:Mortgage OP 2025 £7050/7000Mortgage OP 2024 £7700/7000

How do you know what soggy toilet paper tastes like
A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort
