    Hope all goes well tomorrow Ed.

    Saw THIS and thought of you (last post) :D.
    A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort

    Well, that could've been worse! Today is the start of my reporting week at work, the time of the month when we chase down senior managers for statistics and comments and they try their hardest to avoid us :eek:

    What I had forgotten is that as everyone else was just coming back from their holidays as well, nobody was in the mood to send anything in. So actual work will probably not kick back in for a couple of days.

    Today I have been fairly well behaved on the MFW front:
    • Stoozed a few small spends (over £1k stoozed at 3% now)
    • Smiled, was pleasant and pretended to be interested until at least 3 p.m.
    • Increased our monthly S&S ISA DD up to £55/mth (a 10% increase for 2013, trying to stick to this each year)
    • Sold an item on eBay, 50% of the proceeds going into the EF
    • Made a few small account tidies and added £5 to the EF

    Nackered now, the oven is making dinner :rotfl:

    How did everyone else cope being back?
