There does seem to be a very nasty bug going around.

Je suis half-shut knife 😵‍💫

Think we're looking at 7 loads of laundry including a couple of full size pillows. DD2 not being sick any more and nose sounds a bit clearer (she's normally sick because of nasal blockage then discharge and inability to blow own nose properly).

DD1, on the other hand, is having a great day. A parcel of random gifts arrived from a Japanese website including a set of capsule toys she bought with pocket money and has been waiting patiently (ish) for

£75.06 OPed - odds of childcare money + cashback from TCB and Chase

Oh lummee … Sounds like the worst has past now! 🤞

Well done on the OP. 👏😊

Early to bed for you tonight! 😉

Eighth load of washing is just about ready to come out of the tumble dryer, washing machine is running the drum clean cycle, off to bed 💤 

Paid £2.52 into my SIPP today (£3.13 after tax relief) and £100 into a "pie" in my T212 ISA focused on a wee portfolio of 25 dividend stocks. Not for any particular reason, just an alternative to cash savings for a small percentage of my spare personal cash and a tax free home for it.

Sterling effort on the washing! 👏😊 At least you will start the day clean tomorrow… 😉 How’s DD2 feeling now? 

You are lucky (or better organised 🤔) to have such a flexible SIPP. Mine has conniptions if I try and pay in small amounts …!

Thanks for asking @KajiKita - she still has a fever and is a bit breathless, but happy to chill on the couch watching Pingu with dad. It's tough when they're wee and unwell, but she will survive

I use Vanguard for my SIPP. They're not perfect, but their fees are reasonable and they are quite flexible with small payments.

Ps. Thank you for the new word!

Sounds like she is over the worst of it then. I hope she will be tearing around in top form very soon 😊❤️

Thanks for sharing your SIPP provider. It’s amazing how these companies don’t seem to understand that allowing customers to pay in easily is a USP or even a fundamental function of the service they offer … 🤷‍♀️

And from me. I looked it up expecting it to be a financial package limitation thingy. Instead it's a lovely new word for a so-called hissy fit or as we call them, a maturity fit

@edinburgher, @Suffolk_lass, I used that word in work this week and no one believed it was real. I made them google it and now it is passing into local vocal currency …. 😉
