Only freedom will do

Karmacat

Yep, hope the appointments went well. A visit to the chippy only sounds fair to prepare for a day like that

Fascinated to hear of the slots offer - when I'm up and running, I'll be having a go at that too

Sleep well after a trying day ...

Evening Mr E, trFfic sounds horrendous.

I have visions of you becoming so frustrated that you park up and run home :rotfl:

Take it easy, Tilly x x

Thanks guys, feeling much brighter this morning, although the weather isn't following my lead

Today is payday the second, no money shuffles to do as our shuffle now features a discreet 4 current accounts (GG will disown me!) I am treating myself to a new set of plastic wheel trims for £14 because I am, quite frankly, living the dream

Keeping back some money for putting laminate down in our sitting room, think the cost is going to be roughly double what my enthusiastic estimate was, but can spare £135 for the S&S ISA. This will go into our main fund, Vanguard LifeStrategy 80%.

I love that living the dream is now "plastic wheel trims"
Hope traffic is better behaved today - although - dare I mention running to work and running home might be a plan???

Sorry Watty, but that sounds like hell, I would need to keep so many clothes at work and have a tiny shoebox locker that just about takes my laptop :eek:

Not much to report today, was feeling blue, but got an unexpected work pep talk which was much appreciated.

£12 from a couple of free slots offers.

Yup, that's what only having 4 current accounts will do to you

Hope the pep talk......well, pepped you up :T

edinburgher

It did and it didn't

Talk is starting of new job opportunities, positive, but I really don't want to get my hopes up. Also, I don't really feel I've been so !!!! hot of late, why are things suddenly looking like they might change/improve?

Maybe there's a lag time between them realising they need to extend themselves a bit to keep you, and actually *doing* it.

Consider yourself pepped here too

Very up and down with work. Busy, then not busy, sure of myself, then sure I'm wasting my time Entered the slough of despond this afternoon, need to be careful not to make it an overnight stay

Also, when did Halloween become an excuse for adults to act like children and for normally sensible women to [STRIKE]act like they are in Mean Girls and dress like slappers[/STRIKE] wear creative costumes? :eek:

Not much money news, over 400 euros of my experimental P2P money has now been lent out, ISA + pension doing well with the current rally and managed to make over £30 profit with an arb for Mrs E and I.

This weekend I am cooking, researching flooring and going for rescheduled family dinner.

Mrs E's dad gave a cooking demonstration on TV, we were all very proud of him :T

Karmacat

Well done Mrs E's dad :T

Sorry you're feeling grot, but it does sound like there's a lot of good going on this weekend
