£15 to both the OP Pot and the EF, some more pennies stoozed and some eBay parcels dispatched.

Now all I have to do is survive tonight's icy driving lesson and I'll be laughing :T

Received a very generous £50 Christmas cheque from grandparents - £12.50 into both the OP Pot and the EF and £25 to spend I think they'd be pleased to know that I'm putting some of it to good use?

thats very good, Ed. Couldn't you have a teeny bit for a prezzie?

It's ok HDK - 50% went to good (financial) causes and I kept the other 50% All work and no play makes Edinburgher a dull boy!

£15 payments to the OP Pot and the EF again today and I had a cracking driving lesson last night. I started off with turns in the road and instructor said "that's one of the most controlled turns in the road I've seen in months". Boasting over, I have work to do

To be fair Ed, you ARE his only pupil .

Thanks for that GG

I have been well behaved on the MFW front today - got £120 (FD switching bonus and a Christmas present) and am saving half, keeping half. £30 into both the OP Pot and the EF.

Work was absolutely nuts - the end of another hectic reporting week. Thankfully it's all downhill from here in terms of business and I can start to relax again. :T

Well done for your excellent turn in the road Ed

Saving half, keeping half of things sounds good too

Another £15 paid to both the OP Pot and the EF, with some more pennies stoozed.

I have been a little spendy the last week or two, but it's genuinely scary how easy it is to spend money in the UK! I could try moving to the countryside, but then I'd only end up spending all my money on petrol and internet shopping :rotfl:

An hour left at work and it's our Christmas lunch tomorrow, so I can get drunk and tell everyone off without it being socially unacceptable

So... now that you've done your controlled turn in the road... erm... you'll be able to change your mind on the direction you are driving in!

I'm not sure if you're joking or delivering a profound life lesson there MRN

£15 payment to both the OP Pot and the EF, now I just need to survive the work lunch and get home for a snooze. Not the biggest fan of the cold at present.
