Only freedom will do

I was wondering too ....

Still alive!

• Still pestering the bathroom fitter to repair the damaged unit, think I've got them to the point where they've ordered the part and are waiting for it to come in, get the feeling it might take a while
• The aquarium is listed for sale
• We've started getting quotes for joiners and they are *staggering* (think £££££ for everything we'd like done)
• Got over the lurgy after 2+ weeks, only for Mrs E to get it
• Paid quite a lot of money into SIPP, secured P2P lending and have started to veeeery slowly whittle down 0% credit card debt while making small OPs. Suffice to say at £10/day it will take 4 years to pay it all off :rotfl:
• Making some money MBing thanks to new accs for Mrs E. Back to £££s as opposed to ££s
• Sent in our first FIT reading for the solar panels
• DD continues to be deliriously cute. She now waves whenever you leave a room, is threatening to crawl and enunciates 'dad' perfectly, non-stop. Mrs E is jealous, my campaign to get 'mum' on rotation seems to be paying off
• Off to the rugby on Sunday for grown up fun, our first full adult day out since DD was born?
• Have now lost 16lbs since the end of December

Will try and catch up with some diaries tomorrow - hope everyone is doing well.

That post ends up being "oh wow!" Dad - and waving - even rugby! - and weight loss! - well done the Ed. family Here's hoping Mrs Ed makes it onto the radar really soon

Morning all

• £2 OPed
• £10 paid off CCs
• £1.14 paid to Monthly Project pot from P2P interest

Rushing through our housework today in anticipation of the big day out tomorrow, although will find time for a quick trip to W@itrose to pick up Easter eggs. Not our usual supermarket haunt, but has become a bit of a tradition....

W@itrose eggs are very nice. Hubby works there and on occasion has come home with some very nice stuff for me.
One year he bought me a L!ndt bunny. Not one of the little ones but a large than life bunny! Took me ages to figure out where to start eating it!
Can't remember if I started with it's ears or if I smashed its face in with the TV remote. That sounds so g h o u l-ish!!!!

Love it! :rotfl:

I got an arabica coffee chocolate egg and Mrs E went for a Monty Bojangles one avec truffles. DD got a cuddly toy lamb.

First FIT cheque received - a princely £27.11 True to my word, I have OPed it already. I always knew that the first cheque would be rubbish as we installed mid-Dec. In the last week, we have generated 43% of our total for the 12 weeks that preceded it :j

Yeah the winter quarter is always a bit naff. We got about £130 for Oct-Jan.
I think we get nearly £1000 for the whole year.

I got some Monty Bojangles choccies for Crimbo and they're lovely!

I was laughing my head off when I was typing about that bunny! The thought just makes me giggle

Great weightloss Ed!

Does your MIL...

Insist on the telly be at full deafening volume then sit as far away as possible from it

Insist on only wearing 'cashmilion' 2 ply jumpers then shivering like a whippet while sitting as far as possible from the fire

Appropriating a radio, tuning it to radio 2 then playing it at max volume because she has insomnia then snoring along to all the tunes?

Yes to the TV thing, also having it on the shopping channel even though nothing's actually 'on' :rotfl:

Busy day:

• Rubbish and recycling out, nappy and bathroom bins bleached
• Fixed two cupboard doors
• Replaced one of the LED bulbs in our fancy light fitting
• Got Easter eggs, took DD to pet shop and bunnies were *hilarious*
• Hoovered
• Took last bits of aquarium fittings out to the garage
• Listed some items on Eabay
• Blended and froze some parsnip soup that I made yesterday
• Made up a week's worth of rice and beans salad for work lunches (my secret weapon in the war against lard)!

Dinner was leftover duck and chestnut stew with savoy cabbage, sourdough baguette and hot sauce. Seriously, you can eat like a king on a sane budget of whoopsies and occasional treats.

Toying with the idea of a bath and a beer before bed, not just because alliteration is fun.
