    Congrats to you. Bet you cannot wait until Feb. to hold that little bundle of joy.

    Cheque from HRMC is now in my hands for a full Tax refund for year 14- 15, so will be banking that on Saturday.

    Tax refund banked today, so will be breaking-out a bottle of fruit cider to celebrate.

    Once cleared, will be adding to my EF to bring it up to the halfway point.
    Cut-off point for overtime is Monday, so will aim to get another hour in before the clock stops on the month.
    Will get paid Friday (hopefully) so will come in just in time for the Bank Holiday.

    Had to pay out for a water bill I'd completely forgotten would be winging it's way to me. Signed up for an online account so I won't be surprised like that again. Also managed to put a little extra back in though so I'm still coming out with: #126 £109.18. Yay!
