Afternoon all,
I am typing this from bed having been struck down with the dreaded Norovirus
feel utterly grim & worn out, so a day in bed it is. Hoping beyond hope that the rest of the family don't get it.
About to make a £999 OP which will no doubt lift the spirits :j
Once I am well again I need to sit down and assess DH company finances to see if there is wriggle room to take a dividend. If there is, that would be used as the next OP to inch us closer to £110k. Plan is to be there by month end.
No spend weekend ahead, much needed and always pleasing.MFW

I can thank my lucky stars, I didn't get the Norovirus bug - I caught the other one, flu, and only just found out - it goes away then comes back, then told that happens 3 times - I hope my work colleagues were just jesting.
Hope you feel better soon, they say stay at home for 48 hours.
Nice o/p :T - what happened to that little extra £1 ?

hope you feel better soon.Made it to mortgage free but what a muddle that became
In the event the proverbial hits the fan then co-habitees are better stashing their cash than being mortgage free !!0
