I only iron when I need to, and at the moment everything is stretching over the bump so makes no difference if I had ironed them - that's my excuse any way!!

nope - laziness is my only excuse!!!

Hey PO, just read your note on Shirlgirl's thread re. not being able to access your Hfx mortgage online... I can do this... but maybe that's because I bank with the Hfx anyway so I have all my a/cs set up online.
And maybe I'm behind and you've sorted this out already0 -
Yeah - I did get online in the end....when I asked in the Hlfx they said I couldn't, then when I went on the website it said it I could.
Am obsessive about checking it now!!!

My travel for June will be £306......again I don't think I can afford to throw all of that at the mortgage, but I will overpay at least £120 which will keep me on track, plus a little more if my 20p collection reaches £20 (and my 2p collection already reached £1!!)
I'm going away for a fortnight to see OH next Thursday - things have been very difficult as he is suffering from severe depression which has been putting a lot of pressure on our relationship. I think we both need this trip....it's almost 4 months since we saw each other and a lot has happened in that time.
Then back to my MS ways!!!!!!
The garden will finally be finished this weekend - shed and the pointing to be done, then when I come back I will look at what I can grow in containers as winter food. I'm thinking maybe leeks? Otherwise I'll get started in the spring.

I hope the trip does you both good, I was away from hubbie for 6 months with our dd whilst the house was selling in Bedford. We knew it was going to be hard and saw each other most weekends but it's surprising how you miss the daily contact even though you're at work most of the day.
Another great overpayment, well done!0 -

I can't imagine what you mean... :rolleyes:
Have a good couple of weeks PO, hope all goes well for you both0 -
First day of the holidays......yayyyyy!
Although nothing like the relief I used to feel when I was a classroom teacher!
Anyway - I'm aiming for a productive 6 weeks - two away, and trying to get stuff finished in the house when I get back.
Will do more surveys - I have not done any for ages - be more regular with my piggy clicks.
Will also have time to help my sister with her allotment and eat her food while she's on holiday!!!:rotfl: :rotfl:
