    Well done you! gna make for a very merry christmas in the Bella household I hope!

    Awww I feel well chirpy thats cheered me up no end after disastorous trip to Asda at half term! ARGH, wanted to dig my own eyeballs out with a rusty spoon. Need a lie down with a cold flannel.
    Bought all needed items, went with a list, £4 of my spend I'll get back as bought some vitamins for a friend.
    Did get myself one wee treat though..... bought some smelly tealights for this very relaxing bathtime night i am trying to plan in at some point, £1.25 for 20.... please forgive me!!

    Any news on job fronts yet Bella hun?

    Not much news from me, this months payments have started coming out so thats always pretty motivating.
    NSD in the bag as well, I've joined the challenge for this month and I'm aiming for at least 20 NSD.... I really hope I can manage it.

    Didnt see my friend today so didnt get my £4 back just yet.
    Worked out I will have about £250 this month after all my payments come out for food and for general living which is pretty copeable. I should be able to do food shopping pretty low this month as we're trying to have lots of veggies so should be able to do it all pretty cheap.....

    Hey hun, evening hasnt been too bad, spent a while in the bath with a book.

    Also have just posted on the charity board. My shop has a lot and i mean A LOT of hot chocolate which has a BBE date of end November 08, and I've been given permission to just give it away so im trying to find some charities/care homes etc who might have some use for it. already got 2 charities coming in to get some for a raffle (i did warn them about the dates) but still got a lot...

    Imagine this.... each box has 13 cartons in it.... i will be receiving 100 boxes on thursday... so A LOT of hot chocolate....

    Is it better to aim for the stars and hit a tree or aim for a tree and land in its branches :think:

    Very kind of you love, but I must think of the old waistline, not to mention the real charities of course ;)

    I bet it's posh hot choc too isnt it :p

    ARGH I've got 1300 cartons of hot choc, someone somewhere must want some (and not care about the ol' waistline for a day or two).. got a bit of a narky reply on the charity board about thinking carehomes are charities...

    I just want to do a nice thing and give people some nice stuff and if I can give a little smile to some people who dont get to smile too much, all the better.

    Wanted to try and do it this way before just handing it out on the street but I might just have to do it that way instead.

    And yes it is posh and got lots of yummy flavours xx
