    Ed, just seen this & wanted to offer massive, massive congrats! That's made my Christmas Day! :T

    PS: I promise I'm not trying to escape my young children & their ridiculous toy mountain & their hyper chocolate-related madness by playing online on Christmas afternoon whilst totally ignoring them, really I'm not... ;) :rotfl:
    Life is changing...but I'm still Money Saving!

    Blech - back into work tomorrow for a couple of days - just when I'd got my hibernation on! :(

    We've had a lovely 'first holiday', although we have pretty much met stereotypical expectations of Christmas break pigging out :eek:

    Visiting rellies this afternoon, suppose I should force myself to get a haircut as well.

    • £140 paid to S&S ISA. Think I'll manage £400+ of additional payments into my 'personal' line of the S&S ISA this month, a new record :T

    You'll have to take the PJ's off as well :eek::eek::eek:.
    A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort
