    Another fan of Largs - some chips from the Blue Lagoon, an ice cream cone and a long walk by the sea to burn it off :beer:

    Love the comments re. Irvine beach, I have family in Stevenston, so can attest to the truth of them.

    Sounds like a weekend day I had many times during my stay in Scotland. Lovely

  • Hi Bexster
    You are right, plan is to be MF within 10yrs, and currently 13yrs 6 months - just need to find the 3yrs 6 months to achieve goal (and then beat it!)

    The Viking is now the place to go for fish and chips - award winning, no less.
    Did pop in to Nardini's and devoured a Raspberry Snowball Delight - was fantastic, and burnt it off in the play park with little FLC.
    Wonderful day, expensive, but helped to blow away the post-operation blues.

  • Hi Edinburgher

    Took my parents to Irvine Beach Park in March once, they dragged me into The Ship Inn for a brandy, too cold for them - that was their excuse anyway!

    Soft or sane, definitely one of the two :D
  • Still plodding on with the rehabilitation.
    Naively thought I would save money while I was on the sick - no travel expenses etc. However as the aforementioned domino's splurges have shown me - I have no willpower.
    I have signed up for Swagbucks, and looking at survey sites - keeps me away from ebay I suppose.
    And I cashed in £50 from Quidco this week too.
    How is every one else doing?

  • Hi All
    Well thats me back in the world of work.
    Probably over did it, and worked overtime to try and claw back some of the splurges I had while off work.
    Current mortgage is £96,300
    Savings: £11,500

    However, OH tells me washing machine sounds "clunky", and we have celebrations planned for our 40th's next month.
    Oh and central heating has black water in it - which according to another thread sounds expensive.
    Happy days - hope you are all well.

  • Money seems to be running away from us again.
    Need to be more disciplined, but have very little spare time.
    Have made a start, and rather than using the staff restaurant, at £1.50 per day, I have made steamed rice, tuna and sweetcorn - all things in the cupboard - and it should last me friday and saturdays shifts.
    £96,300 to find - need to stay focused,

  • Morning all
    A sunny day (for once) on the west coast of Scotland.
    Having a wee look at the finances before going to work, in a moment of weakness I agreed to work Sunday too - after seeing the weather, I now regret this, but its money in the bank, I suppose.
    Mortgage currently standing at £95,800 - will update signature when I get a chance.
    Started using Swagbucks this week, but not getting very far at all with this.
