Can Edinburgher be debt free and a mortgage holder by 30?

Well - I start early... (what's that, you weren't being literal?)

I always find myself feeling down in the dumps/grumpy after a few days off and the day was made worse by the discovery that a colleague is leaving after a mere 6 months due to office politics and the fact that very little seems to get done in the civil service!

Death by consensus is the order of the day - I will stick with my cookery classes and save up to open my own business and get out of there.... In the meantime, however, I'll just need to put up and shut up - it's not a terrible job and we are in the middle of a recession!

Will need to finish up early today as I have a lot of housework to wrestle with before the weekend and I also need an early night Not liking the fact that my reviewing income dried up almost overnight - feels like I've not had an Amazon voucher in ages

Great motivation to make sure you business does work! Had to do the put up for years but was never really good at the shut up bit :rotfl: Believe me, it's a fantastic feeling when you finally walk out

I'm sure it is!

Chef school was cracking fun today - lots of professional looking vegetable cuts (fancy!), 40l pots of chicken stock, lots of funny banter and the honour of our trio having the best lentil soup of the day Wiped out now, but it's getting easier each week...

lol sounds like you really enjoying it! And lentil soup... yum. Well done to your team :T

Morning Ed, glad you are enjoying your course. Please remember me when you need some opinions from us mere non foody mortals

Did you get all your housework done? I need to get my done today as I am so busy at work in the week then off on hols for a few days next weekend :T

Well done to your team

Thanks Maya - we were an odd bunch - a {Lithuanian?} professional chef, a grumpy Londoner with a heart of gold and an eager Scottish foodie librarian (me!)

Did you get all your housework done?

Unfortunately not Doodles, but just have to wipe down the sink/bath/surfaces and sweep the bathroom floor now. Is this the holiday you booked for DD and you a while back, or something else?

This is just a weekend away with my family, just four days by the coast. Nothing too exciting but darn site better than being here doing housework :T

Things sound like they are going really well, Ed. I hop you carry on loving Chef School. However, you must realise that there is one drawback...you will now be my victim of choice when I have culinary questions to ask!

edinburgher

but darn site better than being here doing housework

Amen to that!

you will now be my victim of choice when I have culinary questions to ask!

Ask away - my twin hats of librarian and chef leave me eminently placed to Google the answers

Roast chicken with white miso and parsley butter, mashed potatoes with butter and rosemary, red cabbage with red wine, honey, cinammon, pepper and vinegar and steamed kelp for tea tonight.... mhhhh.
