Ive finished it now too as got very into it so binged it the other night to get it finished. Now looking forward to the next season to see where it goes, what did you think to the surprise reveal at the end of the Emperor?

You've done so we'll to have already made overpayments especially with all the expenses you have had since moving in.
I did look twice at your monthly interest. There used to be some kind of idea/challenge of trying to earn you daily interest each day. Thought it might be quite motivational for you.Hope you can relax over the rest of the Christmas break.June 2025 - part 1 - £19,145 part 2 - £21,973 Total - £41,118 29 months to go!2 -
Is it worth relisting the bread stuff? As it's BBE, it might still get collected today?Mortgage free 16/06/2023! £132,500 cleared in 11 years, 3 months and 7 days

Oh fair enough - it might be a bit past it now. Definitely ask about the animals - I have a lady who gets any use by salad I get given (I have a morning collection, but sometimes the odd use by stuff sneaks in).Mortgage free 16/06/2023! £132,500 cleared in 11 years, 3 months and 7 days

It is a good feeling when you know you've helped someone who really needs it - and there's an awful lot about at the moment. Well done for splitting the salad and using it up
It makes me feel better to know I'm not the only weird one who'll do things like that! Glad the baps were ok - they sound like my pittas (bought), which had BB dates of 27 and 29 Dec and we finished today - a bit worrying to think about what is preserving them!
(Remember, even if you have to bin it, if you have a food waste collection, it's still better than Tesco doing it as I think it would literally go into landfill, packaging and all, and I'm sure you won't do that!)Mortgage free 16/06/2023! £132,500 cleared in 11 years, 3 months and 7 days

Ooh, I feel your exercise pain - this is a recurring problem for me - too enthusiastic and then I can't move for days!
Great news about the late collector and the saving of stuff from the bin - to quote our great donator 🙄, 'every little helps'.Mortgage free 16/06/2023! £132,500 cleared in 11 years, 3 months and 7 days

Curry and broccoli sounds great (but the naan does sound better!)
We're still working out way through Christmas goodies here and today the kitchen is full of pastries, but healthy eating doesn't really start until after my birthday (Friday) weekend....Mortgage free 16/06/2023! £132,500 cleared in 11 years, 3 months and 7 days

I think that depends on what’s on offer in your area. We went for a McD’s breakfast in Crawley on a Sunday in November (I take your point about Jan though) and we’re absolutely stunned at how full of delivery drivers the place was - we ordered before we arrived, but still stood there for a good 20 mins because they were so busy! 🤞 it’s as busy for you!Mortgage free 16/06/2023! £132,500 cleared in 11 years, 3 months and 7 days

Thanks KK! 😊
freshly made naan is virtually irresistible, so I don’t blame you!Mortgage free 16/06/2023! £132,500 cleared in 11 years, 3 months and 7 days
