The Edcawber Principle

Ooh I was editing as you posted - you are right.

£20.80 paid off CC - cashback from a hotel stay last year

Treated myself to a nice travel mug from Amazon, was less than a tenner in real money as I had topped up my account with £9.xx the other day as I discovered a credit card account that I hadn't used for a couple of years that was in credit.

I drink *a lot* of coffee and tend to have at least 1-2 shop bought cups a week

And the insulated cups are really good for keeping water cold too. I have a couple I used to keep for work water fountain - finding the sealable lids good too

Apparently my pension provider managed to !!!!!! up my switches. To their credit, they are going to run them again and refund any loss, but it's a little frustrating 

Last day of my short week today and I'm hosting a large meeting (oh joy)!

£54 paid off CC

Your CC payments are just awesome. 

Where are you now? 

I think you were under 6k?

£5,345, will get down to £4,500 by end of Feb. Will slow down after that, maybe £4,000 by my Birthday at end of March.

£53.45 paid off CC.

Hellish night last night, we must have got up 10+ times with a very unsettled DD. Doesn't appear to be unwell...

We celebrated Valentine's Day by taking medication for threadworms! I think that explains DD's fretful night. She had another one last night and I ended up sleeping until 09:30 this morning as a result.

Itchies aside, we had an enjoyable (if exhausted) day yesterday, with her swimming lesson; a cheese and ham toastie at the nice social enterprise café next to the pool; a small ice cream from our local ice cream shop (a traditional Italian place); a walk around the neighbourhood in hail and a fair bit of TV time...

We also popped into one of our local supermarkets that was trying to flog old Leg0 sets. I managed to pick up a couple of retired sets  at 50% off and am trying to sell these on eBay with a fixed price selling offer. The sorts of things that a kid probably would't choose, but a grown up nerd would no doubt love I've started a new line in YNAB for these sorts of experiments, as they are well intentioned, but don't really fit anywhere in the existing budget.

£105.83 paid off CC - that's to cover the next two days (app is down tomorrow) and a 1p shortfall that has arisen.

Have a lovely weekend all, our plans are museum today and kid's party tomorrow.

Ohh nasty. And I guess you have a couple of weeks of diligence to make sure they don't recur through eggs already outside her body. Just looked and of course everyone in the household has to be treated. I feel for you. As a child we were encouraged to catch all the childhood things like chicken pox, mumps, measles and rubella, but I also recall things like nits doing the rounds and they just loved a lovely clean head of hair. Well I hope you have got it early
