    Back from the 1st birthday party, quite good fun, but hosts made no effort to introduce guests to each other. Cue family/friends sitting in separate rooms a la school disco...

    Booked last few stops for our holiday at the end of April, Mrs E is shocked that I have finally managed to keep a secret from her for more than a few hours :rotfl:

    My neighbour and I help each other were we can. We do a bit more DIY for them than they do for us but they're well into their 60s now and bring us some fantastic home grown food. They are wonderful with our son and have been since he was born. I doubt your neighbours are upset by your daughter crying. :) You should introduce yourselves especially as you plan to live there for a while.

    I can honestly say that when we move I will really miss the couple that live next door and hope we'll keep in touch.

    We're on friendly speaking terms with them Alex, they're a good bunch.

    Ed have you given up on MFP?

    Why do you ask SHS? I was very unwell for a week or so (lost 4.x lbs) and then I fell off the wagon during my holiday, but I'm back now (restricting calories again, walking 4.5 miles home from work every day etc.)

    Today I have spent my morning declaring my untaxed income for P2P lending for 2015-16. Am having vivid memories of GG? telling me not to bother in the past? :p (sorry if I'm slandering you GG!)

    It's really not that much (I spent quite a while building up holdings), but it's probably good practice in the new world of £1000 free interest? I think I owe them £50 or so...
  • Just because I *finally* got back on and couldn't see you in the newsfeed thingummy.
    Glad you are better.

    How do you get the information about interest payments *to* you, Ed? If its email, at least you can stick them all in one folder and then swoosh them onto a spreadsheet or something - I *know* I'm teaching my grandmother to suck eggs etc, sorry!

    4.5 miles is a good walk, that'll do you no end of good :)
