    Are you working just three or four days a week these days, or have you got a massively long christmas break planned?

    Either way, I'm jealous :D

    Working 4 days SSS, so relatively few days off buy me decent breaks. Think I get 11 days in a row for 4 days leave? :)

    P2P total grows after some recent purchases. I'm now diversified across 6 platforms and a bond fund held in my S&S ISA. £13,578.78 @ 11.10% after fees and tax.

    In the unlikely event that I can maintain this, we need to save c. £319/m to meet our December 2020 target.

    Upcoming:
    • Boiler being replaced on Thursday
    • I'll replace the oven (like for like replacement with just a plug to wire up) on Friday
    • Electrician booked in for the start of December (here's hoping JL reduce the fancy light fittings we like during Black Friday!)
    • Solar panels agreed in principle, but waiting on invoice from the slightly sketchy salesman who quoted a fair price, but is like the sodding Scarlet Pimpernel, don't they want money?)

    That reminds me of a spreadsheet I used to use (you know, when I did that 'work' thing :D) to work out the ratio of days leave to total days off. Aimed for a minimum of 2, yours is 2.75, mucho respect :T.
    A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort

    Can't possibly be true, the C word is surely several months away …

    That's how much I loved my holidays :rotfl:. To be fair, it was just one part of a larger sheet - I could fly to Spain from at least three airports, to three airports, and dates were flexible. A spreadsheet was the easiest was the easiest way to compare.
