    Not so warm this morning, and was hoping to tidy a bit of the garden. Have 2 parcels to post , so will take a stroll down to PO.

    Might pop into @ldi's on my way back as i'm sure they will have some "things" for the garden :) Feel a Spending day coming on ;) and will try and get to garden centre next to Ike@ as have a gift voucher I need to spend before its out of date :o
    Loving being off work, such a different pace, feel calm and relaxed, makes me dream of MF days :rotfl: and what it will be like :j

    Do you plan on retiring as soon as mortgage freedom arrives?

    Got to PO and posted parcels. Then bought some easter eggs and 3 packets of seeds for the garden, oh and my tarte tartin - they must have had another delivery.

    Been reading up on MB :rotfl: probably reading double dutch would make more sense :D but a bit slow on the uptake so will read and re-read and eventually (I hope) it will all make sense.

    Managed to bank cheque and loose change as well, and now up to £64 on the survey site. Have ignored another survey site as last time I tried was screened out of 6 surveys in a row, one after the other. Since then have been inundated with surveys from them - at least 6-8 a day, sometimes around 4 in about 15 mins.

    Hope to list more on the bay tomorrow. Exciting stuff :(

    Hello Bexter - nice long break for you - I'm off as well and have another week :j
    :eek: You've given your notice :D All going according to plan - then? Countdown time :D

    Great now that I'm off work:beer: and looking forward to getting out into the garden - seen I've not got a balcony:p

    Ready to spill the beans, yet ???
    whats your total OP this month so far afk ? how you been getting on

    More than my target :p but not as much as you :p I'm keeping tabs you know :rotfl:

    I have a list of excuses for not paying more, building ins, 5 week month, easter, a 50th birthday present, the list is endless, but have managed £287.16 as no council tax needed paying, but every month I keep telling myself - I'll not be able to keep this up - already thinking - I need to pay council tax next month :eek:

    Yes £64 - wondering how long I'll be able to leave it untouched :D

    Have a lovely Easter weekend everyone, and enjoy.

    Hello AFK

    The beans are far less exciting than you are imagining!

    I have been offered a new job. It's close to home, lots more money, a brand new project and should give me time to develop my business too. I am looking to buy a place abroad in the next 6 months too so lots of exciting moving forward.

    I have been out on the balcony today. Tidying, planting and watering ( and having a sit in the sun :cool:) I'm glad you still have some time off too to spend in your garden. Tie down anything that moves out there, the forecast for win and rain in the next few days looks quite serious.

    Bexster :)
