    WooHoo lovely new windows fitted today, look great and rooms feel warmer already. Now to save for the rest of the house :rolleyes:.

    I've done loads of mystery shops over the last couple of weeks so hopefully a good amount to overpay at the end of the month.

    Back is improving really well, neck crunching and spine crunching galore! I get the first lot of teaching pennies at the end of the month, plus it's back to full pay so I will pay Chiropractors fees back off the cc.

    Hope everyone is well xx

    I've got a program to build up the mileage each week, my dh entered me for the Reading half marathon at the end of March so 6 weeks to build up to 13 miles. Generally it will be 3 or 4 miles during the week and a long run at the wekend.

    Some bits of news from me but nothing specific I'm afraid.

    I have been doing loads and loads of mystery shops so at the end of the month I should have a nice amount to pay off mortgage.

    Mr T's vouchers arrived today so I now have £340 in deals to put towards a holiday next year :j

    In odd news, my Grandma died on Sunday and I have since found out I'm in the will and got potentially be receiving about £7000. Now it's odd because I haven't seen her for years as she was extremely nasty towards my mum, especially when she and my dad split up (my dad is another long story!) Anyway I'm sad she has died but, and sorry if this sounds harsh, I'm not devastated. To include me in her will just reaffirms everything that side of my family stands for, more importance on money rather than family. I've spoken to my brother who has said that my dad has already taken loads of things from her house before my Auntie gets there :mad:. Arguements already. I'm so glad I'm not involved. So if I did get that amount of money we would change our car and buy a few things for the house. We'd rather get the car than pay for the windows as we don't know how long it will last and I need a reliable one for work.

    So we'll see if I do receive anything, and if I don't then I wasn't expecting it anyway.

    Families and issues arising with those passing on and the "history" of relationships is probably one area we all have some experience of to some degree. As you say, the monies would be helpful and I agree, stay out of the fall out arising.
