    2 down, 8 to go.

    Recycling out for the 3rd time in 3 days, we consume too much. I live in awe of the zero waste evangelists ('this jam jar contains all the non-recyclable waste that our family produced in the last 6 years' types :rotfl:)

    Drinking chess!

    I would not recommend it but basically the chess pieces are shot glasses and when your piece is taken you have to down your shot. After a while we thought it would be fun to make them flaming sambucas. I nearly lost my eyebrows cos I was so drunk I forgot to blow it out :rotfl::rotfl:

    Made good progress with the decorating yesterday, have always liked daffodil white :)

    £1.87 OPed, trying to stop myself grumping as Mrs E gets DD to sleep (can't do anything until she's in bed, decorating the landing outside her room!)

    £14.61 paid into EF (T5B interest and a few £ of P2P interest).
  • passed £20,000 in employer pension yesterday, yay volatility! :j
    :beer:

    My S&S ISA's value has increased a whopping great 7.5% over the past 10 days. Up £667.20. Absolutely unbelievable. Nothing has been paid in during that time, it's all down to the market.

    I guess I'll be one of very few people lamenting sterling eventually strengthening! :o

    I know, it's crazy, VLS100 now something like 16% up over the year, very little of that is 'real' :eek:

    Lots and lots of painting done.

    £7.04 paid into EF (T5B interest from Mrs E).

    £1.28 OPed.

    Horrible night, DD abject with teething and fever, we haven't had a full nights sleep in several weeks :(

    Might start painting a little later today, if she naps we might get to go back to bed for an hour or two. Painting very good for the bank balance, every day my pocket money per day figure rises as I can't spend more than a pound or two on snacks :)
