    Hope all goes well tomorrow for you both x x
    Paid off mortgage nine years early in 2013. Now picking and choosing our work to fit in with the rest of our lives!
    Still thrifty though, after all these years:D

    Thanks all, sure it will be better than I suspect!
    Work will be ok Ed, is Mrs E just planning a quiet day?

    I don't think she has any specific plans, but she does seem to be very prepared for this early in the morning, probably just adapting to the new routine.

    When did getting to sleep between 02:30 and 06:30 become a luxury? :rotfl:

    £5 to savings, all this work will pass.

    Take care of yourselves, Mr and Mrs Ed - actually, Ed, I wonder if you'll spend most of the day telling people how beautiful Miss Ed is :)

    Oh Lord, that was tough, thoughts of my girls and FI never far away!

    What is it about my place of work? They have messed up my wages for both May and June, have contacted HR, but unimpressed. How hard can it be to pay a chap for his fortnight with his baby? All they had to do was pay me my normal wages :eek:

    Managed to go out for a very slow 5k run this evening, pleased with that :)

    Glad you made it home in one piece. I'm sure your girls gave you a great welcome home'

    At my last place of work, HR were always making mistakes with with things like pay and holiday allowance. If it's anything other than a bog standard full timer working a full time week, they struggle to cope!

    Put your feet up now, you deserve it

    PS , its nice to have found someone else except my kids who watch Hannibal, we love it but nobody we know has watched it.
