Hi SJ,
You have just inspired me to OP £80. I got paid a little early from my extra job (complete surprise) and I've been wondering what to OP. That £80 brings me down to the next hundred and is a weeks worth of interest
thank you

Money - glad to be of service! I always like thinking of OP's in terms of daily/weekly/monthly/yearly interest. It helps massively.MFW: Was: £136,000.......Now: £47,736.58......0

Quiet day watching the ticking time bomb that is Mrs SJ for any signs! Quiet day also means NSD for the family which I'm always happy about (DS1 spent his Christmas money on a new skylander but that doesn't count).
Had a disaster before my run as my MP3 player hadn't charged then my phone music player refused to work. So spent the first mile asking myself how I was gonna blank out my mind with no music wondering if my breathing always sounded like that so early! I eventually found some free head space but it was a tough 43mins!MFW: Was: £136,000.......Now: £47,736.58......0 -
Good stamina with no music. I'd have turned round and gone home I think!

Can't decide if this is Mrs SJ going into labour or just wanting another McFlurryshangaijimmy wrote: »Some rumblings tonight so I legged it for a shower and had a bowl of porridge just in case. Eat forward, sleep forward...!. Hoping for a safe delivery whichever option it is . A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort Mortgage Balance = £0
