    Lovely day out with DS2 today. Was in such a good mood that I paid £49 off the mortgage, blatantly nicking it from the current account! :-)

    Have a great weekend people.

    Yesterday teatime I nipped to local town.... parked free in Waitrose for 90p mins, nipped to another store, popped back to Waitrose, bought nothing, got free cuppa and their new mag with loyalty card....... and found £1 on the way out....

    Waitrose...... extreme shopping for those who can :D.
