Eeeeeww!! Presumably to reawaken the smell :rotfl::rotfl:
Me thinks so. But the thing I couldn't get is that they'd only be warm for a short time. This can only mean one thing: they'd need to 'enjoy' them as soon as they came out of the vending machine surely?! In front of other people?! :shocked:
Eh hmm, moving on. :rotfl:NST 🐢 & MF before 40 🤸0 -
I don't think I could do the underwear thing but I'm sure I could find some jam jars and try and flog some English air. If people are prepared to buy it why shouldn't we benefit

Wishing I hadn't read all about this so late at night... scared to go to sleep now... who knows what nightmarish visions will descend upon me... :eek:a penny picker upper.

Another week, another go at loading my catapult and firing some overpayments at the mortgage. Only trouble is that I'm using marshmallows when I really want to be using boulders. :rotfl: This morning as I have my tea, I've just made a £2 overpayment.
Hoping everyone has a good week and gets to use their catapults at some point. :beer:NST 🐢 & MF before 40 🤸0 -

Good luck in the new job Petal88! And well done on the weekend overpayments. The weekend is usually when I fall of the wagon with my budget.
Daft question, but what does TT mean?NST 🐢 & MF before 40 🤸0 -

Thank you for all the well wishes people! It went really well actually although now I'm utterly utterly exhausted...
Daft question, but what does TT mean?
Not daft at all! TT's are "tilly tidies" named after the MFWer Tilly Tidy who started the trend. It's basically when you round down your account to the nearest £1, £5, £10 or whatever you want. The idea is that you won't feel those small amounts being shifted but that ultimately they add up and make a difference. For me, I quite like that it gives me something regular to do as I think I'd get bored if I only did one big OP per month Mortgage Oct '20: £615k
