    I don't really like any of the 3 that are left, Rachel and Lisa are both self-important, Brendan is sooo smug, and Tom is good but not as good as Austin ;)

    Today I spent 1.00 on some pasta at school as I didn't have any crackers left :o Other than that its been a fairly uneventful day. The flat is still looking pretty tidy and tonight I might have another crack at the christmas cards :rolleyes: :D

    Charity boxes don't count as spends.

    Glad DS was a good boy, was he in the play?

    Sounds like a good day, and I agree - charity spends don't count. 'Tis the season of goodwill after all!

    I got paid from a survey site today (25.00) and that was the last money I'm expecting in this year, unless I do any more matched betting before xmas.

    I've spent 2.40 on bread and milk today and will spend some more later at weightwatchers on some low-fat bars to help me last another week ;) I will report back later after weigh-in :o:D
