It's interesting that couples complement each other - put me with another E and we'd be worn out, put Mr T with another I and they'd live in a cave.

I think Mr GG and I are both I's - even though I score as an E . Caves rock (no pun intended :rotfl:)

It's going to be interesting seeing Mr T come out of his cave over the next few weeks :rotfl:

I'd have to have a cave with a large dining table so I could invite people in

Morning, off to walk the hounds in a few minutes. Quick update.

TCB money arrived and moved to offset
New suit and three shirts ordered for Mr T - managed to order whilst M£S still had their 20% reduction on line. Pick up in store.
Service was very slow last night and free drinks given to us all

Quite a few YG surveys coming in
PC product survey on

I'm going to claim S£S and CP vouchers tomorrow. Will put them away for meal before our holiday at the port.

Mr T was given a gift by the garage (car service). There's no way he will use it so next free listing it will be uploaded

I have to think about ways to be more on top of stuff at home - mainly setting times aside to do things. With Mr T working again, I need to pick up more of the home running.

That's all for now, I'd better get cracking.

It is very interesting Tilly ( the myers Briggs stuff that is ) both Mr el and I are I's yet we are very different ... I am a very out going person and will happily talk to strangers .. mr el isn't out going at all, and like you and Mr T we compliment each other well

It's strange though in some ways that I am an I as I am so outgoing, I have had a few arguments with people about the fact that I am an introvert, but when people really get to know me they realise that I am very introverted, I just confuse things by being outgoing

Not sure when payday is for Mr T and SO looking forward to the first one. We've managed well on one salary and will continue with the same approach. I do need to add to a few savings pots but will revamp the budget spreadsheet next week. I had considered reducing the number but it does help my brain having it so black and white.

Tilly, updating the spreadsheet when you've got extra to be putting into the incoming side of the numbers, rather than those grim hours spent trying to accommodate price hikes and shortfalls coming out, is a fantastic simple pleasure and one you truly deserve ... enjoy every moment of your shiny new spreadsheet!

Hi Elantan. That makes perfect sense to me - E and I aren't about sociability, they've about where your energy comes from. Whether you're solar powered and get energy from external activity and sources or whether you're battery powered and get your energy from internal activity and sources.


Tilly - I'm also E and recharge by going out and partying or being around people. Mr F is I and gets his energy from shutting himself in the study away from all my chatter! You can see the difference in us when he gets home from work. He wants to sit quietly with a cup of tea and some quiet time and I want to talk and download my day!


It would be interesting to see how all this affects MS. I spend the fun budget on going out and doing things, Mr F spends it on gadgets and iTunes!

Hi Fortune, we sound pretty similar. Mr T also sounds like Mr F

He has a low tolerance level and once it's breached, that's it.

Haha - I can relate :rotfl:

That's a cracking entertainment budget, I'll not tell Mrs E or she'll get jealous!

Hello on this rainy dark afternoon.

Work is finished for the day and boy am I relieved. Frantic, ridiculous and I've logged off.

Interesting debates re personality types. Fortune, Mr T likes to have some peace and quiet after finishing work as well. He has often worked away from home, which has suited us. Company apartment and he can finish work, shower, sit and clear mails, or be quiet, then dinner. He used to like to take HM meals with him and heat them up, rather than cook from scratch. After that we'd have a Skype call and catch up on the day.

With his last job he worked from home much more and that definitely sent him deeper into his cave. His new role is a good compromise, he will WFH some of the time, have clients meetings and work in one of two offices, depending upon the week, financial period etc. The transition initially may be tough as he's a real family man and has become used to having us around all e time, but it will all be fine

I was out this evening but plans have changed and I'm staying in. Looking forward to dinner, some financials and a catch up with Mr T.

I hope everyone is experiencing better weather than here - shocking.
