Mrs E is threatening to start varnishing things tomorrow - what have I started?

Feeling relaxed and blessed.

She took a shine to it then?!:D

Welcome To My Diary!

The last diary I kept on MSE was over in Debt Free Wannabe.

Hi Edinburgher - would you be happy to link your DFW diary in? I've read through your MFW now and I think that that's only half the story (as it were)

NP if you'd rather not.

Well, if you really want to read more of my wittering....

Mrs E managed to find £1 for the kitchen pot - I'm skint until we get paid at the start of next week

What a week! Crazy meetings at work, my annual review and the fidgety excitement that comes from having a holiday the following week

Today Mrs E and I are chilling out. I re-hung our pulley after the rope frayed and snapped (I think I might have hung it wrong when I replaced it a while back?) I also paid in a £30 cheque that my lovely parents sent us for our wedding anniversary, got some essentials for when we get back next weekend and picked up some live food for my fish :eek:

£3.10 into the kitchen pot
54p into the remortgage pot

Plans for the rest of the day? Maybe play computer games and other grown up pursuits.

Enjoy your holidays!

The holiday was lovely, but spendy (and I couldn't care less). Mrs E and I are now up to our eyeballs in smoked salmon and good whisky :j

We got back yesterday afternoon and managed to put c. 500 miles on the car clock since we left. Feeling lovely and relaxed and our driving skills got a real test. Driving round Loch Lomond is less than pleasant :eek:

Feeling a wee bit blue, as one of my fish injured itself while we were away, developed a fungal infection and died. I treated the tank in case any of the others were afflicted, but the medication has done nasty things to the water chemistry and there's a lot of unusual behaviour going on. It's feeling a bit touch and go, hope I don't lose any others.

• 51p to kitchen fund
• Mrs E and I are now stoozing on a second Mr T credit card (£4300 to go before our new kitchen )
• No housework to do, did it all before we left
• Went to L1dl and Asd@ earlier, Mrs E is making a tasty spag bol for dinner
• Babysitting niece E tomorrow
• Contemplating said whisky...
