Gosh KC, what a palaver! :eek: Hope you do get something good out of this before it turns into more of a fiasco than it's worth!0

So you have no interest in romancing an air force general? Is it because he's American? :rotfl:0

loving the idea of you romancing an air force general :rotfl: (or whoever haha)Made it to mortgage free but what a muddle that became
In the event the proverbial hits the fan then co-habitees are better stashing their cash than being mortgage free !!0 -
Aren't I cruel :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl: yes, totally because he's American.
I feel sorry for the real guy - there's pictures, normal everyday facebook-type pictures, it must be horrible! But yes, its the "whoever" that concerns me
I've done practically nothing today, and absolutely nothing since I last posted - been watching Colin Firth and Jennifer Ehle ... I'll do a bit more this evening. Hopefully I'll catch up on myself, because I have a bit of paid work every day for the rest of the week (and a GP appointment next week ... we'll see).
That premium bond's looking better and better - the elance thing, I'm 100% verified and profiled, plus tested in the top 10% in Englishand I'll look at jobs to actually *apply* tomorrow maybe - there's a lot of people in my shoes, newbies with no elance experience, so it might take a while, but if I keep throwing my hat in the ring, I don't see why it shouldn't work (I might have to lower my hourly rate a bit
).

I'm still resolutely doing absolutely nothingthough I do have to put a new duvet cover on - the big question of the evening is whether I swap to a summerweight duvet or not
I was just debating the same thing myself this morning:D (bed will be stripped tomorrow if weather is nice) - between that and the superking size throw over the bed (and being a female of a certain age!) it get's rather toasty at times! But I always miss the weight when I change to a Summer duvetI am the master of my fate; I am the captain of my soulRepaid mtge early (orig 11/25) 01/09 £124616 01/11 £89873 01/13 £52546 01/15 £12133 07/15 £NILNet sales 2024: £200 -
:hello: at greent, what did you decide about the duvet? This afternoon I'd have said summer, but its v chilly again now - I've stayed with the winter weight. I usually change much earlier in the year, but this year because of the mould I've had the windows open much earlier, so I can take the winter weight just fine
Know what you mean about missing the weight tho! Since I'm now beyond a certain age, the toastiness is fine with me).
In other news ... turned out I had some paid work today tooso thats good financially :j and I finally did the blog post. Thats all I've done
