    Currently having a naughty bottle of wine... hic..

    :beer: I had a couple of beers, but it's not really all that enjoyable when you have a blocked up nose, sore throat and ears that crunch every time you move your jaw!

    £2 into the remortgage pot
    £1 into the kitchen pot

    Ended up lying on the couch for most of the day, Mrs E is taking care of me :)

    Chippy for dinner as I couldn't be bothered cooking.

    £1.61 into the kitchen pot and the talented Mrs E has booked £69.99 cashback from Expedia for a family hotel stay next spring.

    Also chased Amazon for a refund of £7.99. I paid for next day delivery, but they're trying to dispatch the item 3 days after I ordered it. No, that's a bad Amazon :mad:

    I'm not going to lie... I am wearing pyjamas already :cool:

    After a 'mare of a day at work that I'd rather forget about, let's focus on the MFW positives:
    • Bought lunch from Mr T, but got extra points with Mr T credit card and for using my own bag
    • £1 into kitchen pot
    • £14.86 into remortgage pot
    • Withdrew 50p from Zopa :rotfl:
    • Withdrew £10.86 from TCB
    • Ordered Mrs E's birthday present (a very large framed print of a beautiful Tiffany Studios stained glass panel). Got 30% off, 10.1% cashback (£6.77) and 3% cashback from my credit card (£2.92)
  • Olbas oil... swear by it.

    Me too! Clears those airways like nothing else! :D
