Only freedom will do

Went for my first jog in months - managed 3km jogging, 1km walked, 2km walk/jogged. Beat my MFP goal by 3-400 calories (although it doesn't show this properly!)

Very nice! I only managed about 3.5km yesterday, only about 1km of that was jogging.

Can't speak to the Fitbit, but the Jawbone UP2/24 both talk to MFP. DH bought us both UP2s for Christmas last year, but I ended up selling mine after a few weeks because my phone tracks my activity for free and I found it annoying to wear.

Thanks hiddenshadow - one of the few benefits of being overweight is that I burn calories faster! Allowed me to have a few savoury snacks and a nice bottle of beer before bed as well

Went for the Fitbit Surge in the end, got it £10 cheaper than the Microsoft Band 2 and it does what I need it to. I think it's money well spent, I have been looking at my calories in MFP and there is a steady decrease over the week I've been using it. As you can appreciate, I'm very data driven

I presume council tax works differently in Scotland? If not I'd be very pleased with the £800 bill. Well, as pleased as one can be about a council tax bill.

Roaring twenties, that's the funniest thing I've heard in a while and I thought my son said some strange things. :rotfl:

That's for 3-4 months, a good bit higher than the last place.

don't bother with teething gels, if she's keeping you (and herself) up all night with tooth pain, you want anbesol liquid. Here's a link. Yes it is pricey but once you've tried it (try it on your own lip or tip of your tongue!) you'll realise you'd happily pay 10 x the price for its effectiveness! My lad always got an upset tum with teething too, unfortunately it's a miserable time for the whole house

Thanks TM - not sure if we get that on MAS - will ask Mrs E to check next time she's at the pharmacy :T

Hi Ed and Happy New Year!

So behind with your diary...

Will try to catch up - but thought I'd just drop in and say Hi and wish you and your family all the best for 2016.

Happy New Year MCI, lovely to see you

£6.35 OPed (£6 MB profits and a 35p ET). Gone in no time :rotfl:

Are you sure your rates bill isn't up to the end of March? If so they may be amenable to a third a month by DD (that's the direct debit version of DD incidentally) until March. After all it is FAR, FAR better off in your account than in theirs. Just think what you can do with over £250 for 2 months and £250 for one month.

It's done now Patanne, considering the time it takes to get the council to do anything, I'll not chase them.
