    Yay! From next year I will be getting a trial month of compressed working, whereby I'd work 8-5:30 Monday-Thursday :) Despite the long hours, I feel that having every Friday off will prove to be a really good way to get a little more work/life balance?

    Nay! BA are striking from the 22nd of December. I go home on the 23rd. If they mess up my GFs Christmas, I will not be a happy bunny :mad:

    Virgin Bingo have threatened to delete my account if I continue to use the free scratch card without depositing £5 a month (apparently they're changing the T&Cs and everyone will be effected by this). So, looks like I'll get one last tenner out of Butlins bingo and then my free scratch days will be over.

    Hey, the £60-70 I made over the last year was nice, but I didn't expect it to go on for ever.

    Work is dragging in this week - come on Christmas.

    Woohoo - my ISA is back up to triple figures! I have removed the embarrassed smiley of shame, as I am no longer ashamed :rotfl:

    Also got about £80 in sealed jars, so getting on quite well for 2010's DFW shenanigans.

    New diary soon.

    Hi Edinburgher
    I've been cheering you on from the sidelines of your diary rather than posting, but just wanted to come out of lurking to wish you and your GF a very Happy Christmas! Have a look at the beginning of your diary to see how far you've come this year - amazing! Looking forward to the new one in 2010!

    xx
    Overpay!
