    Good night out, a little green around the gills after 10 drinks or so this morning, but we survived quite the thing :eek:

    Black cabs are ridiculous these days, aren't they? £11 for 2 miles (boundary charge less than half a mile from our house), I did not tip.

    £1.65 OPed, off to the inlaws tomorrow for operation bathroomgate.

    Operation bathroomgate - sounds intriguing!
  • It will all get better. Cars are a total pain, I would love to be able to do without one at all.
    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:D

    Until the days of teleportation and getting Scotty to beam me up we're just going to have make do aren't we? It wouldn't be a problem except for all the other muppets on the road :rotfl:

    You've only been in the place for five minutes and I imagine it's already unrecognisable. :eek: Seriously, I hope everything goes well with the new bathroom. If you don't mind me asking how much is it costing? I only ask as originally we thought ours could be completed for around £7-8,000, that looks far too over optimistic now, though.
    2018 totals:
    Savings £11,200
    Mortgage Overpayments £5,500

    That sounds quite dear Alex, think it's £4-4.5k and our spec is pretty high end :) It is a very small room though.
