    Evening everyone. What a lovely day it has been here today - Summer is here at last :)

    Today I....
    checked online banking
    made dinner from freezer stuff
    went to visit a friend and her new baby and resisted the urge to buy wine and chocolates like I normally do
    spoke to bank about new mortgage and also got them to answer lots and lots of questions that I had so I am now so much aware of what will happen next
    paid £100 into our new current account to activate the cards and allow us to use this as our 'SPENDS' account


    Can I jsut say a huge thank you to the person who posted the tip about putting the washing machine on for an extra spin to allow a reduction on drying time for clothes.

    I did this the other day (when it was raining) and I only needed to put my dryer on for approx 50 minutes compared to the usual 80 mins. It had jeans and things in it too so it really does work
