Lois_E begins a long MFW journey

Lois_E

Just checked the small print. It's not done on calendar months but months from the day you opened the account. I'm not sure when that was.

However, there is some good news. I've just logged in again, and the two DDs that happened on the 28th (Tuesday) have now got their cashback listed as due to appear in the account tomorrow. Whereas the single DD that happened on 28th April didn't get any. There's another DD that should happen tomorrow (ought to have been on the 1st but it wasn't a banking day) so it'll be interesting to see how long it takes for the cashback to arrive for that.

Happy to have got the first lot of cashback. That's another £3.19 for the EF then.

Hi!

This is my first visit to your thread, I haven't read it all but your OP totalmfor the year is pretty impressive :-) I'm just slogging along at around £100 a month atm.

Anyways I am subscribing and good luck with your continued MFW journey.

Hi nicolula and welcome to my thread :wave:

Thanks for the encouragement, but don't get too impressed. The figures in my sig represent what I've achieved since Sept 2011, not just this year!!

Tonight I am grateful for
1) Sunshine
2) Friend I took kids to park with
3) Having a job I enjoy (even though it has been nice to have a week off from it)
4) Easier than usual Monday at work tomorrow because exam classes not there
5) My house - I love it even though it is taking a while to pay for it

Hope its not too painful getting up and out early and going back to work tomorrow Lois

Thanks teapot. At least I had a nice gentle introduction to being awake today. DD woke early (miracle) and made enough noise to wake me slightly before the alarm, but didn't actually come in and require attention, and most importantly didn't need me to get out of my bed and go and drag her out of hers. Then DS came in (by prior arrangement) to be tested on his spellings, which I was able to do in bed, only opening my eyes to look at each word and then shutting them again to listen to him spell them to me. Am now thoroughly awake but have slight headache so will take something to fend it off and get into shower. Need to leave house at 8:10 so not as early as many of the rest of you have to.

Hope you have a good first day back. Luckily for me, mine will be next week.

Hi Lois, I hope today was quiet and peaceful and your DS was successful with his spelling test :T

Yes thanks. How do you manage not to have to go back for another week?

Not bad, thanks Tilly. Apparently the assessment he's supposed to use the spellings in wasn't actually today but will be coming up soon. Won't do him any harm to have learnt them for today, though.

It's not as fun as it sounds, got problems with my balance/dizziness and keep falling over. Been signed off for a week. Trying to stay busy and make the most of the extra week off by sorting out housey things and catching up on school work.

Hope your headache went?
