Lovely to hear you are settling in so well and making it yours.

Thanks SHS - using some 'me time' to buy Mrs E some posh bubble bath for Valentines Day :j

Miraculously lost 4lbs on a week where it felt like every dinner featured chips and or booze, feeling a bit like a cheat, but lbs is lbs :rotfl:

Congrats on the lovely new bathroom. We're still pleased with our rather basic replacement (even though it's still not quite finished as we've DIYed it and been lazy ), it really helps to make everything seem fresh/fancy.

Don't even try and understand the dark art that is weight loss. It's even more complicated if you're a woman!

Walked the 5 miles into town, shop had nothing that I was looking for, but the lovely Lu5h staff gave me some great pointers. Also got into a conversation with a friendly 'mumsy' woman and her young daughter in the queue, I obviously look like a fish out of water in that shop :rotfl:

Nearly at 20,000 steps for the day, wearing a T-shirt that I got for Christmas 2014, but didn't feel confident wearing before as it used to be too tight :santa2:

Made Mrs E a chocolate digestive cheesecake for Valentines Day and spent the last of my Christmas Wholef0ods voucher on smoked salmon and halibut, blinis, samphire and some fruit beers. Used a money off voucher as well, so nearly £30 of shopping was £10 of 'real' money.

Nackered now, will be watching the rugby on T1vo once DD goes to bed. She liked her new bath... and weeing on my new rugby top :eek:

£1 OPed, bank account looking a little sparse.

She sounds like a party animal, Ed. Give her a kiss for me.

There was a discussion about the Monevator blog in the Early Retirement Wannabe thread, I made some positive comments about the blog owner when people were being less than charitable. I got a thank you in the following weekend blog post
