    Ooh, exciting new boiler Jessy! Well done! Vexing about the pipes though, sounds like putting a loft hatch in is definitely sensible!

    Thanks ladies! 😀 it definitely is nice to just be able to hop in the shower or do the washing up without having to mess about turning the water on and then the power on the boiler to warm it up! 

    I got a new phone tariff sorted, so my phone has now gone from £39 a month down to £12.64! 😀 

    Dog 1 cost me £84 yesterday 😱 We came home with some anti inflammatory tablets and some cream for his ears. He needs to go back in two weeks for a check up. 

    The mortgage is still at £64,200. Why does it not just disappear, gosh darn it!!! 😂

    Me and my mum have been talking about motorhomes, so I had a little look last night, some really nice ones out there and I'll be honest, I'm tempted!! I just love the thought of being able to hop in it and go anywhere in the country at anytime. Definitely worth considering 🤔

    Enjoy that new boiler, I bet you are praying for a bit of cold weather to properly try it out  🥶 Motorhome seems a great idea especially at the moment, but that won’t help the mf plans unless you can persuade your mum to buy it 😁

    Glad you’ll be getting away from horrid ex supervisor, but sorry to hear about the lack of promotion for BF. You’re right though - something better will come along!
