    mmm...which would be easier to implement Bob? I'm sure the extra money I get back on the gas will be swallowed up by an underpayment on my lecky! not too worried though but not counting my chickens just yet either.

    This evening I have been mainly comping... some christmas pressies would come in very handy...

    DS has a Wii but I'd love wii fit and he'd like an ipod, after winning some Mr Bean stuff for him the other day it was so tempting to just give him a wee pressie out of the haul but really need to put it towards christmas.

  • All of my family has one, but they think i am allergic to techie things..so will happily let the teenagers play on theirs. My sister went mad for the wii fit got it and used it once.
    I am buying bits in bargain shops and am awaiting pre Christmas sales as well.

    actually I have a dream of going into Monsoon and buying something lovely to wear but it will be much better if I am doing it DF and there's no guilt involved!
