    :wave:

    Just had quick catch-up A, glad all's well with with you and first day back not too grotty.

    Wall's looking good, glad you got an open-the-windows-weather-day for doing it.

    Good luck with the Fleabaying - I find it has great lulls but then picks up, it really hasn't been too bad since Christmas really so hopefully you'll have some luck there!

    Thanks H.
    Nothing doing on there at the moment.

    May I be excused the ebay challenge?

    Left home at 7.45. Got back at 20.30.

    I think DH will have spent on petrol today but he is still on the way home.

    Today I am grateful for
    *my parents. Thank God for them.
    *free tea at work
    *cheese and wholegrain mustard toasted sandwiches. Yum.
    *MSE email. Just got nationwide balance transfer card though we will see if I actually get it.
    *puppylove snoring on the sofa.

    Petrol DH £54.

  • Sandwich sounds delicious. Now I want one.....
    Paid off mortgage nine years early in 2013. Now picking and choosing our work to fit in with the rest of our lives!
    Still thrifty though, after all these years:D
