Edinburgher gets cracking!

I was swithering there whether to have coffee or tea Ed, and thanks to you - I'm going to have.......coffee (and you thought your MOPs provided the inspiration:D)

NP - that was the most brilliant deception ever - colour me foolish

Got my cashback credit card statement in this morning, £100 earned and should turn up next autumn.

I have officially started stoozing with a £13.01 grocery shop. Sticking the money in an ISA at 3%, 16 months to play Mrs E is on strict instructions to use the stoozing credit card for all her shopping!

Nothing in particular to do today - only need a present for my Gran, all other presents that I need to get have been taken care of.

Happy stoozing!

£1.01 into the OP Pot and EF. No spare cash left in our current account already - roll on the 20th! Guess I'll just need to fund our miniOPs from my pocket money savings account until then

Just remember that when the driving instructor tells you to 'go straight over' he doesn't mean that in the literal sense:D

Plus, no-one understands roundabouts and that's why no other countries have them.....

Enjoy the lesson and well done on the micro o/p's:D

Two pints and a nice pub lunch later, and another £32.55 is stoozed.

Technically I know we're meant to be all joyless and smarmy when we're saving money, but hey, fun is fun

Apparently it's not a good thing that most of our jackets have been sitting in the hall cupboard in a bin bag since we moved in :rotfl:

I have purchased a coat stand from eBay for a very reasonable £16.90 that will match the wooden floor quite nicely. Not bad considering this includes postage. Also went through Quidco for a few pennies cashback, got some Nectar points and have stoozed the payment.

Very pleased to calculate that we won't actually need to pay for more driving lessons until January. As I had already set aside £600+ for the next block, this money can be treated as 'free' for the monent. How best to not spend £600? I'm thinking a top up to our household budget fund and an OP?

gosh, lessons are so expensive, I failed my first test, I rolled back at a roundabout which was an automatic fail. After I knew Id failed, I was totally relaxed and drove beautifully.

£15 to both the OP Pot and the EF. Might get another OP made before the end of the year at this rate! :T

Mrs E has a day off today and will hopefully be finishing our Christmas shopping, been in at work since 08:10 so may join her for lunch.

Have a productive day everyone.
