Edinburgher gets cracking!

Just withdrew £19.12 from Paypal (struck a deal re. Betfair referral with one of the board guides who's active over there).

I wonder whether I should be cheeky and put myself on the referral board for the same thing?

BabE is now a turnip, who knows what exciting fruit or vegetable he/she will be tomorrow (update day!)

I don't know either Ed - but I do know that at some stage in the not so distant future Mrs Ed will think it's turned into a watermelon :eek:.

More pension changes!

Get in you little horse! This will save me £30/y+ by the time they introduce it

You would almost think that there was an election on the way?

Definitely put yourself on for referrals

But explain to me ... avocadoes? turnips? watermelons? I'm new here is Mrs Edinburgher bringing about a joint production soon?

is Mrs Edinburgher bringing about a joint production soon?

The radiant Mrs E is expecting a baby at the end of August and is taking maternal pride in showing me her growing tum on a daily basis

Just spoke to my manager again re. nae complaints and have re-iterated my point, while offering to help out with non-contentious customer satisfaction stats etc. He (and the senior manager) appear to be reversing very quickly from trying to force the issue, which is nice. I'm still looking for another job tho! :coffee:

The pregnant Mrs E, along with just about everyone else in this country who's having a first pregnancy, will have been inundated with books and articles (both online and hard copy) allowing her to track the growth of her developing offspring, complete with pictures of his/her shape each week next to common objects (frequently fruit and veg) for size comparison. This is enormous fun, and much more exciting than just getting fatter without knowing much about what's going on inside. Of course, when you have your second pregnancy, you are far too busy running round after the first child to be able to devote as much attention to what the imminent arrival is up to.

Hi,
Just read your thread from start to finish and wanted to say hi and thanks for some great advice and inspiration. Got (home improvement) debt to tackle first, but becoming mortgage free is a definite aim
I'll look forward to reading more and wish you well, especially with regards to babE and job situation (very similar to my DH) x

Aww, thanks Edinburgher. A tiny wee ed on the horizon, how lovely! Hope Mrs E is well.

Thanks giblet, very flattered that you found something to inspire

Mrs E is doing very well, although I suspect she'll not manage to stay up for the interesting Newsnight feature on ocean acidification!

You've got my wee head burling Ed. ... Thanks
