Will do! I’m in the north-west of England, so I hope to be able to catch something on camera tonight. Not watching the Eurovision Song Contest tonight as it’s all about politics now and countries voting for each other and not about the song, unfortunately, such a shame.

I'd forgotten about eurovision. I thought it had always been about politics! 😂8

I am sure it always was, fond memories of it being one of the very few things we were allowed to stay up to watch in the 80s and the political voting being explained. The giddy heights of Bucks Fizz winning etc.My mortgage free diary: https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/discussion/6498069/whoops-here-comes-the-cheese

My swimming friend once commented that my bathing drawers were looking a bit thin. I ignored her and the very next time I went, the whole side seam - top to bottom - ripped open. A lifeguard had to pass me a towel so I could exit the pool without someone making a citizen's arrest on an indecency charge!Cheery_Daff said:Ooh, excellent work!
After swimming this morning I've realised I need a new cossie - mine is rather thin and see through in places 😱 Not too bad round the bust area as there's a padded bit underneath, but there's no additional padding in the seat area 😱
Annoyingly, if I'd realised, I could probably have used that voucher I spent in the body shop the other day! Hey ho.4 -

Lovel photo. I am jealous there was too much light pollution here and a thin covering of cloud so no chance.

Well we completely missed that there was so much Aurora activity last night - annoying, but there you go. And of course having been high all day, the alerts have now dropped to minor as soon as it’s got dark. We’ll keep an eye on it through the evening to see if it spikes again, but I suspect we’re out of luck now. Delighted that so many other folk saw it who hadn’t before though!🎉 MORTGAGE FREE (First time!) 30/09/2016 🎉 And now we go again…New mortgage taken 01/09/23 🏡
Balance as at 01/09/23 = £115,000.00 Balance as at 31/12/23 = £112,000.00
Balance as at 31/08/24 = £105,400.00 Balance as at 31/12/24 = £102,500.00
