What a gift to be able to help and inspire.

Thanks Tilly, you're making me

Aw bless you looked it up?

Of course I did - Alchemilla must be obeyed!

Mr E, this is what I do too: read these books, extract the applicable/do-able and apply, ignore the quasi/physco babble they often surround their theories with. For example, I am keen on cutting waste but not for the green/ecological reasons, but for economic ones. Thanks for the headsup on the other books, will give them a look too.

Happy economising!

E can you train Mr Alchemilla?
He says yes darling and completely ignores me.

Training errant MFW husbands? Sounds like an awesome side business for me. I'll need to get a football guide and a few car manuals to make things relatable :rotfl:

Absolutely stuffed after roast chicken. In true rubber chicken style, we're going to get another roast dinner out of it (reheated), chicken for a squash and chicken risotto, gravy and bones for my [STRIKE]stock box[/STRIKE] freezer.

Have bagged up £46 of change for the Kitchen Pot, Mrs E kindly donated £10 she has saved up

Sorry SD! If it's any consolation, tonight's dinner was pretty straightforward...

Today flew in as work was exceptionally busy. Those are always my favourite sort of days

• £1 to Freedom Fund
• £1.50 to Remortgage Pot
• £46 to Kitchen Pot
• Bought a 2nd hand copy of 'The Millionaire Next Door' for the princely sum of £2.19
• Only other spend for the day was a cold drink (it was unseasonably warm in Glasgow!)
• Opened a new H@lifax Reward Current Account for the money shuffle (I miss my fivers). I need to set up 2 new DDs - can they be anything? I was thinking Paypal and Zopa?

Not sure if they have to be active every month? I have 2 (small ) charity ones which I moved.

You're right GG - in the account T&Cs it says that you need to pay the DDs in the previous month to get the reward.

I guess I'll create a savings DD and move my life insurance, the Spanish bank don't give me cashback on that one.

That was my first NSD in *ages* :eek:

A rather stressful day at work, I may finish the tiny dribble of whisky we have left
