Only freedom will do

Scales wouldn't connect to (pretty new) phone, app was also buggy as hell and refused to let me register. This also meant that the watch was useless, as I couldn't even get it to set up.

Not sure if really funny or really creepy. Our courier left 3 parcels with a neighbour today. On the 'while you were out' type card, he left his name under the 'Name' field and 'sexylady' under the field for our neighbour's name :eek:

Im still cooing over the garmins.. just can't seem to commit. Have quite a bit of dosh on my AGC so would be "free". But could I spend the money better....oooo I just don't know...

The 220 has struck me as the best combination of fancy and value for money so far. Almost all the features of the £220+ ones for £120 or so.

I should point out that I ran two half marathons last year, I'm aware of such things as exercise

Hadn't realised this, sorry.

I don't want to be mean to her, but she's a pretty average looking girl, none too bright either (sent her post to our flat for a month, even after having the mistake pointed out to her) :rotfl:

What a lot's gone on! How much sleep debt are you still in, Ed? Are you having a good Sunday?

I think I'm doing a bit better today. I let Mrs E have the lie in yesterday and was up at 03:00 and 06:00 with DD. By dinner time I had the black dog around my throat and felt the old familiar lethargy. We were going out to see friends and had a nice time, ended up staying up 'til nearly midnight and sainted daughter slept right through! :A

We have a local holiday tomorrow, so this feels more like a Saturday. We were visited by my heavily pregnant little sister and my youngest brother, which was a lot of fun. I've also got pho round two simmering away on the stove, 9 hours in and the smell is killing me with drooling :j

I had a quarterly review with my new manager on Friday and while they are a wee bit lacking in personality, they might be just what I need. A straight arrow, long served and with no discernable ego about their career. Some practical steps were taken that should make my role a bit less stressful and a bit more demanding, neither of which are bad things. Still thinking about 'what's next', but not willing to jump into anything until DD sleeps through the night and I have a clear head. For the first time in a long while, the thought of being in my current job for a little while yet doesn't fill me with panic, so kudos to new manager.

This week will be tough. Despite it only being a 4 day week, I'm training in Edinburgh at the end of the week for a couple of days, a 100 mile round trip.

Plugging away with the savings, topping up the P2P and enjoying my long weekend.

This sounds positive, apart from the sleepless nights but that's the price you pay for having a child, unfortunately. Glad to hear work is not going so bad and agree it would be good to wait until your daughter is sleeping through the night.
