johnh Posted December 24, 2014 Report Share Posted December 24, 2014 My daughters back from Singapore for Christmas. Today we had to pick up her hire car from Heathrow Airport. Only 15 miles but M4 + M25 = nightmare. All the traffic from last minute departing fliers. Decided to leave early (7.30 am) but didn't get away until 8.00 am. Roads empty, got there and back in 35 minutes! Result! MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE. Sibdane, Matt and MikeO 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sibdane Posted December 30, 2014 Report Share Posted December 30, 2014 I found out I'm having a little girl in May. I was hoping for a boy -- and future Everton #10 -- but I'm not disappointed about a girl. Romey 1878, Matt and pete0 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hafnia Posted December 31, 2014 Report Share Posted December 31, 2014 My little boy was born boxing day last year. He tried to wake me up before by pulling my hair and it didn't half hurt. The first year is an amazing experience, they go from not being able to anything to wanting to do everything. Amazing the amount of information they take in.

Sibdane Posted December 31, 2014 Report Share Posted December 31, 2014 Congratulations! You happier about the situation now then? I'm happy about the child -- not so much the other stuff. It'll all work out though. Seeing the first ultrasound and hearing the heartbeat for the first time was actually really cool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikeO Posted December 31, 2014 Report Share Posted December 31, 2014 Been sticking away all my change in a jar at the end of the day since booking next years holiday a couple of months back (for spends) and did a count up earlier, hoping I might have hit £100. £238.80!

johnh Posted January 2, 2015 Report Share Posted January 2, 2015 Had my CT scan today in Reading. Appointment time 6.40 pm. I had to be there 1 hour before for prep. Allowed time for traffic and because there was very little, got there early. I drank the stuff they gave me, had the injection, had the scan and was home by 6.35 pm. RESULT!

Allowed time for traffic and because there was very little, got there early. I drank the stuff they gave me, had the injection, had the scan and was home by 6.35 pm. RESULT! Nice one. I went for an MRI at the end of 2013 and I was a bit early. A week early to be exact . Fair play though, they fitted me in; in fact it was first thing in the morning so I went in ahead of everyone else, and as it took about an hour every other poor sod who'd turned up on the right day must've had quite a wait.

MikeO Posted January 8, 2015 Report Share Posted January 8, 2015 Been knowingly overpaying on our gas/electric direct debit for a while now and the rewards are in! "Flexed" my payments for the next five months and (after paying £100pm for ages) I have three months at £90, one at £50 and then the last one (June) where I'll pay £zero. Add to that the "Warm Home Discount" payment of £140 due by the end of March (nice to have but given the choice between that and cancer I could probably have lived without it ) and I have loads more beer vouchers for my holiday. Probably not what the government intended me to spend it on but fuck 'em . pete0 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeO Posted March 17, 2015 Report Share Posted March 17, 2015 Ha, just noticed my last two posts in here were holiday finance based; so just to add to it the current £/€ rate means for the same amount Sterling pending money we had on our last holiday (2013) we'll have the best part of an extra €500 for this. Not to mention accommodation + car hire being cheaper . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
