:rotfl: That'll teach him you mean business with this whole MF and MSE thing!
If he hasn't worked it out by now, there's no hope at all
Actually he keeps telling everyone how much we're saving and about our plans to buy a few BTLs and retire early. I need to point out to him that people don't generally get it, as we're getting a few funny looks!Well done friend :T
Thank you

It's lovely to have a few visitors on here :wave:
It's been a busy couple of days! Friday night turned out to be a BBQ so only had to buy a few vege sausages. Yesterday we went on a bit of a road trip to do some shopping in Exeter. It obviously cost a bit in petrol and parking but it's worth it as we don't have half of the shops in Cornwall. We have been saving for holiday clothes so all in budget Also we found a shop that was closing down with everything half price. It was a bit of a scrum and the line for the till was loooong, but we both got a pair of half price trainers which we would have bought anyway:j
OH went to watch the boxing last night so I took the dog to the beach and walked over 3 miles. I think the dog did about 6 miles in circles on the beach - there is nothing like watching a happy dog splashing in the sea
£4.02 interest paid into Fl£xDirect and now transferred to the wedding fund
I'd best get a move on as we're going for a long walk and I've got to pack for tomorrow. I'm taking the class on a residential trip, which means no sleep but it should be fun if all goes according to plan :eek:"It is often said that before you die your life passes before your eyes.

Enjoy your residential trip and nothing beats a happy dog on the beach Be who you are and say what you feel because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind.

I almost forgot my Habibiboo (spelling?) inspired simple pleasure.
I was a bit upset yesterday by all the dead animals one the roads round here. On one stretch of the dual carriageway I counted 2 baby badgers, one adult badger and a little fox
So I was delighted when I saw a sneaky fox creeping around by the estuary while I was walking the dog last night! I could see it from a long way off and thought it must be a large cat from the way it was moving, but when we got closer it hopped up the bank, glared at us then ran away into the bushes. I know foxes are really common in towns but we have only seen one other fox since we have lived here and that was in a completely different area.
I love spotting (live) wildlife :T"It is often said that before you die your life passes before your eyes. It is in fact true. It's called living." Terry PratchettBought our house 2012 Married 2015 Started renovating 2015 :eek:

Our wildlife pleasure for the weekend was going to the local park, where we spotted a nest full of baby coots in the middle of the boating pond

He's already made me two nice cups of tea. A hot, clean shower will be my next luxury "It is often said that before you die your life passes before your eyes. It is in fact true. It's called living." Terry PratchettBought our house 2012 Married 2015 Started renovating 2015 :eek:
