Learning to walk before I run

Fair play Ed. Though I agree about Mothering Sunday.

Hope you enjoyed your first Father’s Day as a daddy of 2, Ed. As a mum to two grown-up boys I am happy to see a day that gives a little nod to all that daddies do for their families.  I think the idea that only mothers should have a designated day is very outdated.  Life isn’t all nice brunches and steak dinners so enjoy them when they appear, regardless of whether it is ‘traditional’ or not. 

Most of us love our parents dearly, and show it freely, but a wee special day once a year isn’t too excessive.  

Enjoy the new coffee machine too!  Do a review for us please, once you’ve tried it out.

Thank goodness that week is over, I'm working hard for the money!

£83.48 OPed and £35.46 paid into my ISA.

Excellent work Ed! Hope next week is easier, and that obstacles roll out of your way like dropped oranges in a car park 😁

Great news on the switch £. Hope you get some more sleep as a family soon!

Question ref Lloyds, Ed. Did they put a hard search on your credit file? I've had a couple of my bank switches do that recently, despite me not asking for an overdraft?

edinburgher

@South_coast - I couldn't tell you I'm afraid, the switching process has been so quick it wouldn't have shown up on any of my credit scoring accounts.

I have now joined you in Pr0lific land, beer money awaits! The first survey I took part in was very badly written, I could do better and I only spent a couple of years doing basic customer satisfaction work for a SME. Do you target a minimum hourly rate?

I think for mine I had hard searches - which is why I waited until after my mortgage had completed.
