    An excellent round up there, well done! Yes, disappointing to be in a negative, but you'll come through the other side of that soon enough I'm sure. 

    Oh, and get yourself to the GP...

    Losses are part of the game, don't let it discourage you.

    Why are the people annoying you?

    They're annoying me as there are several people on there who don't really answer the questions posed and instead just make random statements which don't make any sense. It annoys me that they're getting the same £5 a month as me and they're not doing it properly!!!

    I've always thought I would treat myself to a cleaner once the refurb is done - and I only have one bathroom!

    Getting a cleaner is harder than you think - at least round here! Mine left for full-time employment 18 months ago, and everyone else has waiting lists. 

    Yes and getting good ones. We got ours about 10 years ago and would be very upset if she stopped doing it!

    Nice roundup and progress.
    I think everyone has made a loss this month on investments, but it's one month out of the year.
    I'd be wound up as well if they're not pulling their weight.
    If it's not adding up, compound it!

    Yes my investments all down as well month on month, they will bounce back..

    No seriously, just don’t buy things. 99% of our success with our savings rate is attributed to the fact that we don’t buy things... You can and should take advantage of discounts.... But at the end of the day, the only way to truly save money is to not buy stuff.    Money doesn’t walk out of your wallet on its own accord.

    Hi sc, love your monthly round up, however I think you should get some new clothes as taking up ironing again is an extreme measure 😆

    I finally got round to watching Midsomer murders from Sunday and as always spend half of it trying to think what I’ve seen most the cast before in. I also thought “I bet @South_coast would know!”
    This is what we are like when watching most things on tv.

    Ha 🤣! Well it was a bit of a Jonathan Creek reunion, as we had Caroline Quentin, Stuart Milligan and Adrian Edmondson (although they were never all in an episode together). Also, the lady that played the wife was in an episode of Lewis (and I believe she is also in Hollington Drive which is on at the moment, but I've not started watching that yet) 😀

                             ***Spoiler alert***

    What did you all think of it? I thought it was BRILLIANT! I thought the motive for the murders was a bit weak and guessed about the vape and who was going to be the second victim, but I LOVED the fact that they were stuck there puzzling it out old-skool 😍
