    Girls night in tonight. Chinese ordered & will be delivered to me at 7.00. I have set the table. 

    A friend is putting down weed killer as I type. 
    The weather over the weekend is forecast to not be good.

    Have used the Octopus free energy hour to run dishwasher & washing machine.

    Glad you had a good night. Its freezing here although the sun is shining and I sat outside well wrapped up at lunchtime just to enjoy the brightness.
    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 !!
