    I really will need to stop putting 2 and 2 together making 5

    I just read about your catch on your trousers and a puddle

    Great news on your Premium bond win. I've had some for over 50 years and won - nothing
    Always have 00.00 at the end of your mortgage and one day it will all be 0's :dance:

    Well another weekend, another lottery win....£4.80 this time :p Could do with a few more 000's for my liking but it all helps ;)

    My hoped for lie in was cut short by both noisy neighbours and then the postie knocking with a parcel. So I'm up, but not quite with it yet. More :coffee: needed for sure!

    My £50 YG payment has arrived - so sent that off as a lovely OP.

    I've worked out that my daily interest has dropped by a further 3p this month - so continues to go in the right direction.
    Current LTV is now 63.08%

    Afternoon

    Finally got my butt into gear yesterday and had a good tidy round of house plus a deeper spring clean type effort in my bedroom. This means I can now relax without any guilt :)

    Found a few more bits and pieces I can flog on the Bay of E too.

    I've been out for breakfast with some friends today. It's beautiful weather and so we sat out on the patio. Was really lovely to be able to do that.

    Nipped to the shops to spend a voucher that was due to expire and have a lovely new summery top (that would do for work or play) that cost me all of £5. Bargain. Also picked up a few Easter eggs ready for next weekend (gifts for various peeps)

    Now ready to head out and chill in the garden with my book and a cold beer :cool:

    Have a great day everyone

    Sounds like you're making the most of your time off. I need to do a spring clean but still getting over building chaos! It is on the agenda for some time over the next two weeks!

    Hi Cath - you must be so excited that the build is near the end. It will be worth a bit longer hanging on :)

    Today has been a day of running errands and sorting out stuff that I've been meaning to for a while:

    - sorted logon for doctors system so can book appointments online
    - called local laundry place to enquire about costs of duvet washing
    - called VM to see if I can get bill reduced at all. Managed to get it down by £7 a month and BB speed increased :T
    - went to obtain quote for getting paintwork sorted on car (have found a further chip to the one I knew about - must have happened in a car park :mad:)
    - backed up my computer files
    - been to physio session
    - popped to the big Swedish shop for some bits and pieces

    Ready for a cuppa and a biccy :)

    Good Morning

    Another lovely day here weather wise. It was such a treat to be woken gently by the sun rather than rudely by an alarm clock - little pleasures :)

    I'm looking forward to catching up with some friends later

    No OP news today but £10.40 claimed from PB

    Good Morning

    I've been away visiting relatives for a few days. Been really lovely to take some time out and just forget the 'real world' for a while. I've read 4 books since I was here last and I can't remember the last time I got chance to do that (or even have the brain capacity for it!).

    Also had some trips out - to visit an NT property that I have wanted to see for a while, plus some other towns/villages that often go through or past but don't usually get chance to see. Lots of food and drink too :o - so need to get back to being good now.

    Not much to report on the survey front as I've not really been online much. However, have received a £6 e-voucher which have already put to use on some new books!

    Small OP of £7.54 also made. PB payment should be with me any day now too

    I didn't sleep well last night so decided to get up and on with the few jobs that I need to do today. Laundry done and I've also popped out to the SM to stock up on a few fresh bits and pieces I needed.

    This afternoon will be mostly chilling and catching up with tv shows
