Hope is not an Effective Financial Strategy

Sorry to hear the car didn't pass. As you say though £125 isn't as bad as it could have been.

Hope pooch is doing better soon - I love schnauzer, always so smart-looking!

We could not watch either - I don't know what has happened to our Plusnet channel pack but the sport seems to have dropped off. I have now cancelled the £3 per month for HD which we don't use enough for £36 p.a. I suppose that is technically a £96 p.a. saving but it was hard, listening to the radio and following the live text on BBC Sport!

I opted fort Chelsea match. Probably made an error as the Arsenal game sounded a bit more entertaining ...my fault for asking a 10yr old to decide!

Well in work with one of those fabulous quiet Fridays. No one in, so I'll fly through my admin duties. I do have 2 conference calls scheduled but they won't be heavy. Planning on leaving early afternoon.

Good decision IMHO - my team since 1967... now therein lies a story or two

Poor pooch! Hope he's not suffering any after effects today.

Pooch is totally fine. Was never in any pain, just bleeding so he was mithered with it for a couple of hours. Though it does give him a convenient excuse not to go for a walk in the rain later...

I must say that I'm feeling very money motivated at the minute! I've really enjoyed all the Pension, Isa's, SIPPS research. I loving the FIRE type bogs and little vids on YouTube. And overall I must say it makes me feel quite empowered and really positive about our families current financial situation!

Just saying thats all...

Great boost feeling for the weekend. Amazing what you can learn on blogs and youtube.

Whatever did we do without the internet.

I'm certain the majority of people now would wonder how the world even turned without internet, phones and wifi...But that's a whole other discussion!

Well I have half of a brew to finish then I'm heading home. I've powered through a stack of work and have had enough! The Sun has just popped out and I have made an absolute decision that those weeds will be tackled and dealt with...today...and before our evening meal...

Now the pressure is on...:eek:

I hope the weather keeps nice for you, I was half way cutting the grass last week, and no, the rain didn't come on, it was the hailstones !!!

Happy weeding.

AFK - I was scuppered just like you. I reckon i was 70% done and the heavens opened, very heavily! So i have a little bit left and then some cleaning up to do when everywhere is dry rather than me smearing mud everywhere.

Dog walk when it stops, then an evening of beer, food, sport and snoozes!!
