You know that cleaner for black mould we talked about a few weeks ago? I'd forgotten how absolutely blinking brilliant it is :rotfl::j:rotfl::j:rotfl::j the approach to the front door from my living room looks completely different
And the other great thing about it - it seems to smell exactly the same as the indoor swimming pool I went to as a child. Weird but true. It must have been very hygienic
Went out for my walk, and oh boy, I'm glad I'm inside right now, its blowing a gale out there!
I've started preparing the book for kindle - I haven't done a huge amount, I confess, I'm more about pootling about for a little while, but I'm on the case now, numbered chapters, the whole thing :beer:

Good work there! :j
Ah - I remember the conversation about the mould cleaner :rotfl: Not a problem we suffer from here fortunately but we were plagued with it in an old house - wish I'd known about the mould cleaner stuff then!0 -
Hello, is it a home made mould cleaner?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:D0 -
Squirrel, its on page 4 of this thread, post no 77 - I could have sworn we talked about it more recently than that
HG Mould, anyway, £5 - £6.
3 hours of client work today, so not much else going on apart from cleaning more mouldand checking Martin's newsletter.
2023: the year I get to buy a car0 -
Lots of fun to be had for me on Martin's newsletter this week: £5 from Amazon for paying with Mastercard, so I bought the Christmas present for *me* that I'd been trying to justify - season 3 of Falling Skies
:D talk about literate science fiction! And now I've put my Mastercard on there, I'll get nectar points
I've bought everyone else's pressies, so I had to, really
A voucher for a £2.35 Innocent Smoothie - very healthy
And something for when I come back from my Christmas trip - there's a code to buy a National Rail voucher for a Senior Railcard3 years, with £5 off - £65, not £70. Valid till 31 December. My normal-person railcard runs out 28 December
so between my birthday and the expiry date, I can just squeak in
Perhaps the news that I'm buying this will finally convince my mother I'm not 25 any more
Off to my spreadsheet to calculate new sig2023: the year I get to buy a car0 -
Updated. And here's an interesting thing. Even a fiver makes a perceptible difference to the percentage: its 0.01 of that £48k.2023: the year I get to buy a car0

That's good to know KC! a fiver doesn't seem much when you're thinking about £48k but it all adds up and great that it makes the percentage points change too :j

Don't worry, Karmacat, you aren't going mad:rotfl:. You probably talked about the mould remover earlier but the only conversation about it that I've been involved in was around 26th November (posts 1021 onwards). gallygirl posted a link to the product (post 1023):T. I know it was recent because I jotted the name in my diary so I could make a point of getting some on my next foray to B&Q. It's been a simple matter for me to track the thread down because of that:T.
I've stopped hoping I'll be able to find things on MSE at a later date if I haven't the time to read them properly at the time. I make damn sure I make a note somewhere reliable so that I can find things again. I must have missed out on all sorts of pearls of wisdom through the years by relying on my memory:eek:0 -
How very wise to jot things down as you read them! I too have snatches of half-remembered things whirling round my brain and often wish I'd written them down properly

Ooooh, thanks for that! Mr Goldie will be renewing his over 60's card within the next few days.
I really must check that email in more detail. I'll put it on my year plan for next year!Early retired - 18th December 2014
