    Woohoo! I had a Northern Rock together mortgage in the 90s. Wonder if I will get a refund?!

    The pins? Are they the little sharingbuttons? Too many?

    It had to be a horrible together mortgage, you ard probably too wise to have had one.

    Al, thats what I said about the pins - they look very elegant, streamlined, I like them!

    Ah, Northern Rock - no, mine was a straightforward fixed loan. Nothing about that transaction was wise, unfortunately (it was for the French property ....).

    Feeling a bit smug.
    3 1/2 hours' exercise with both girls riding the Plops (not at once!), 5 barrows of muck removed from field, though four were collected by DD1, I have cooked a ton of rice which is mostly in the freezer and a vat of quorn madras is in the aga.

    About to wash a small boy. ( my own, not a random one).

    Hi Al

    Lots of interesting stuff on here re. blogs. I've been talking to DH about starting one. He thinks it's a great idea but need to think of a name.

    I had to look up JFDI and think I may try this approach to investing, and maybe blogging in the coming weeks.

    Another vote for Christopher Ecclestone here :) I've liked all of the doctors but not keen on Jenna Coleman.

    Have a good week!
