nice to hear you starting to settle in. Let me know which tranche of housewarmings I'm in so I can dust off my passport in order to travel East.

If I can help at all on decent local pubs then you know where I am - I'm not as up to date as I once was, but I still visit the hostelries of East London on a fairly regular basis!

https://www.moneysavingexpert.com/deals/wine-52/#4NeeuSDBCjx9rT6a2OV6qtSteps picking up my free lidl linguine and having beer with Mr PIP. We have been shifting chests of drawers into the loft today as they don't fit anywhere else, so we definitely earned it! Quite exciting to live near a lidl again, this is a very mse type of excitement 😂
Hope everyone is having a productive midweek, if not, still got two days of the working week to smash it then be smug at weekend 🍻

I'm sure only the folk on here understand the joys of discovering a nearby lidl 😀 Finally caught up and wishing you much joy and happiness in your new home
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 !!2 -
Thanks for the tip on the wine/beer, have ordered a case. Great bargain and no catch 🙂
I'm glad you're starting to find some plus points about your new location.
I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping) -.literally have been run over by a bike, mobility scooter and a car - still here 💪1 -
Loving Lidl based excitement - in fairness some here will remember how excited we were to get an Aldi locally a few years back, although that was mostly to stop Lidl price-matching to Tesco!
