Learning to walk before I run

We are surviving the holidays pretty well so far

I got the bulk of our Christmas dinner shopping on Friday, we saw my parents that evening, Mrs E took the girls to the park yesterday, and I took them out for a swim this morning. Feeling quite chilled out and happy but should probably watch the casual drinking One last day of work for me tomorrow, somewhat annoyingly my first day where I actually need to do something! 

• I found a random £25 cashback offer from Santander that I had forgotten about, sent to my personal spends
• £14.68 OPed
• A couple of £ paid to EF
• A few £ transferred from my personal spends to my cash savings. I'm now sitting at 85.5% equities/14.5% cash, which is half the way towards my desired cash %age. I should be able to pay perhaps another £100 to this by the end of the year, and may achieve it by February? Anyway, just a notional target and no real pressure as it's just a metric that I'd like to get to
• Won a free lucky dip on the Lotto for Christmas Eve
