    Well the deed is done. A solid 3 hrs and my back is in bits now! Couldn't finish off by brushing up however as it rained for the last 20mins, so all the dry bits were wet again! Half a job Jimmy!

    26p TT'd this morning so the week is off and running debt free. Kids off school this week but I'm in work unfortunately! DS1 been opticians this morning and has 2 new pair of Star Wars glasses on order so he's very excited! Weather has been dry so far today so if it stays like that I'll attack the garden with a brush after work.

    Hoping that by Friday I'll have £25 off Quidco and £15 off halifax to invest in the mortgage!
