    I'm sick of these extreme MFWs - police appear to be removing the contents of a cannabis farm from across the road! :rotfl:

    On that note, I need to bake a (Christmas!) cake :)

    A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort
    :) Mortgage Balance = £0 :)

    Thank you so much to everyone for the Christmas wishes, it was a lovely day and I am feeling exceedingly chilled out.

    We had a friend's birthday on the 23rd, a family gathering on the 24th, drove to my parents and Mrs E's parents on Christmas day and then drove through to Edinburgh for a 60th birthday yesterday! So exhausted, but happy and enjoying my first day with no parties.

    I got some lovely clothing, craft beers and items for the fish tank. What with all the Christmas booze (and my current batch of homebrew pilsner), I do not think I'll need to buy any for *months*.

    Now that the prezzies are tidied away, I've been focusing on vaguely financial matters.
    • Went to @sda for whoopsies - £2/kg mince, £1 quiche and 52p pork pies
    • Went to L1dl for whoopsies - £1.39 smoked salmon *2, £1.39 trout fillets *3
    • £4 to Freedom Fund
    • £2 to Remortgage Pot
    • £1 to Kitchen Pot
    • Pots kept going over the last few days, spreadsheets and signatures updated
    • Will help Mrs E apply for another N@tionwide account today, we've got enough spare to half fill one already
    • Just about finalised New Year financial plans, trying to be optimistic, but realistic ;)

    I know I'm sad, but I love the tail end of Christmas, the one time of the year that the supermarkets fight to reduce the price of food! :rotfl:
