Howdy Everyone! If you are a new reader then welcome to my blog.
I took Mrs Scot and her parents to see Sweeney Todd the musical for its opening night in London west-end. Was absolutely phenomenal – would recommend to anyone. Imelda Staunton and Michael Ball absolutely nailed it! If anyone has seen the movie, they will know it is quite a dark story. Cannot recommend it enough! 🙂
Admittedly, London was looking pretty beautiful as we walked across the bridge from Waterloo station. See people – I am already making an effort for this months Dilettante challenge item!
Fitness Update – Today marks the second week of the 14-Week Fitness Challenge. 1 Week down, 13 to go! If you are interested, I am updating my Fitness Diary each day (or thereabouts) from both a Diet and Workout Point of View.
Money Update – Turns out our repayment mortgage on our new house is only going to work out £50 ($80) a month more expensive than what we have been paying renting. How crazy is that! We are of course going to make big over-payments and be responsible, but it is a great feeling that we are contributing to our own mortgage and not someone else’s!
What is even more funny is that our tiny 1 bedroom, maisonette is being advertised for rent at an additional £25 a month than what we are paying now! Cannot wait for the move. I will cover this all in a moving-house centered finance post in the next few weeks.
My Announcement – I have already announced this on Yakezie so figured I will announce it here too – I have recently started a second blog – Blogoday (Blog of the Day). Blogoday is a free blog directory service which features a brand new personally run blog each day. Blogday is a completely free resource and I promise there will never be any fees, ‘premium services’ or ‘featured listings’ associated with the service. I won’t even make you put a badge on your site for being listed! Would be interested to get some feedback and suggestions on this please 🙂
At least Monday’s over now…. The week seems less daunting 😀
Ahh, so you’re the brains behind blogoday.com! Someone assumed I was the one behind it after temporarily disappearing from the forums during my end of month apartment move.
And you didn’t feature Modest Money yet after all we’ve been through?! 🙂 I kid. Keep up the great work on both savvyscott and blogoday. They’re both off to a fantastic start.

Hey! Haha Did they now? I actually spent quite a bit of money on the Theme for it – still not sure about it!
Don’t worry – Modest Money will most definitely be featured soon – You should be thanking me that it has not yet been featured – the longer it is the more subscribers / readers will know about Blogoday 🙂
Appreciate the feedback Jeremy – Modest Money is one of my favourites to read
Thanks for featuring my blog on blogoday.com! I appreciate that. No need to be unsure about the theme. I like it a lot. The only area that might need changing is a more memorable logo, but that could always be changed down the road. The new logo on savvyscot.com is great too. I like how it reflects your personal interests since most logos are so generic.

What a view! We saw Mary Poppins while in London. Sat two rows from the top (it still cost a bazillion dollars). Still, it was also a wonderful show (decidedly less dark than Sweeney Todd).
Congratulations on the new mortgage as well!

What a great view of London! Fantastic. When we were in London we saw Mary Poppins. Only slightly less dark than Sweeney Todd, I’m sure.
Congratulations on the new mortgage! Sounds like a definite win.

Thanks! 🙂 I have never seen Mary Poppins – I have heard it is great though. Lion King is next on my list 🙂
Awesome news about the mortgage!
