    Delurking not just because those mugs are beautiful but because my grandmother used to save wrapping paper and iron it. You've really made me smile with that memory😀

    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 !!

    My Gran also used to whisk the wrapping paper away - until Grandad stopped her doing it 🤣 She never stopped cutting out images from Christmas cards with pinking shears to use as gift tags though 🩷

    Erm… sorry, am I being too MSE when I save wrapping paper (albeit I do usually only use it for the present-stealing game, having got a stash of fabric wrapping bags)? And I definitely chop up my Christmas cards for tags - why wouldn't you?!

    Lovely tits Jessy 🤣 (someone had to say it!)

    Wow, can't believe it has been three years, that's flown by (for me, anyway 😅)! Dinner sounds perfect x

    P.S. Forget unwritten rules, the docs you signed before exchange will have a plan which shows which fence(s) you own. Look for a little "T" on the boundary line

  • Happy belated anniversary! 🎉

    My nanny also used to save wrapping paper. She would hover over us whilst we unwrapped very carefully because omg if we ripped it straight down the middle she'd shriek, in her heavy Irish accent, noooo sweet Jaysus what are you doing to that Paypaaa!!! 🤣 She'd whisk it away and fold carefully and put in her bedroom lol. I think she got slightly less anxious about it as I turned a bit older as there was just too many grandkids at Christmas to hover over and she gave up 🤣👌🏻.
