  • Thanks FN yep not far now :)

    Had a lovely day. Went for a huge walk with friends and pub lunch afterwards. Given how little we eat out now this was a real treat and thoroughly enjoyed :T

    NSD on the cards for tomorrow. I'll pop onto online banking to do a Tilly tidy now, then I suspect that's it for OPs until 1. Overpaid tax cheque clears and 2. DH gets his dividend at the end of the month

  • Morning all :)

    Ebay buyer paid overnight, so I have just OPd £40 :T will get that posted off today. I really need to buy some fruit today, and some pate, but other than that no spending needed, so I guess we can class it as a low spend day :p

    No more money updates for today. Have fab days all x

  • - I am going to PEG OUT AGAIN :j

    Sorry, what does this mean? Google claims peg out = die, but I doubt you'd put :j with that. ;)

    Well done on the OPs and ebay! I need to look around for possible things to sell.
  • Hi Hiddenshadow, I mean peg out my washing :rotfl: it gives me great joy finally being able to line dry clothes after a long winter, it shows spring is on its way :j

  • Ahh, that makes sense. :)

    I got all excited the other day as our washing line is finally up and (theoretically) useable, but it turns out we need to replace it as it sags far too much to keep things off the ground! At least it's an easy fix.
