Thanks Hypno and well done on 1.5lbs :T :T I have all year to try hard, I may as well enjoy the couple of nights out / fab meals that all fall within the next couple of weeks

Absolutely, any extra weight will come off easily in Jan and Feb when we are too skint to afford food :rotfl:

Evening all Today I spent 20.00 on ds school lunch account (for emergencies when I haven't got anything for packed lunches ) which was budgeted for, 2.00 for yet another new school tie for ds :rolleyes: and 10.00 for 2 dvds of the xmas play, one for me and one for ex (part of xmas pressie). I also spent 1.75 on some more xmas cards.

Tonight I need to figure out exactly what I still need to buy and then tomorrow when ds goes to his dads I'll go shopping and get as much of it as I can.

Hey Tigz, love the new avator How wierd,I replied to you on facebook then saw this! Anyhow, will catch up with you properly tomorrow

Tonight I went xmas shopping after ds went to his dads,I didn't get much and still have several people to do but I just couldn't find anything inspiring I also went and did the food shopping so I don't have to face that tomorrow I spent 41.00 :eek: but that did include several bits to put away for xmas.

This weekend is going to be pretty full-on so it is list time again folks I've only got five days left at work but loads of bits need sorting this weekend while ds is away. So .....

• Clean guinea pigs and move them into my bedroom (they live where the xmas tree goes )
• Buy xmas tree
• Spend lots of time swearing whilst trying to get said tree to stand up in the stupid special box thing that seemed like such a good idea when I bought it a few years ago :rolleyes:
• Washing
• Finish writing xmas cards
• Post said xmas cards
• Deliver presents to aunt who I won't see again till new year
• Buy and wrap presents for ex and ex-in laws (from ds)
• Put xmas cards up
• Decorate the tree if I haven't already decided to chuck it in the bin
• Attempt to clean / hoover etc the rest of the flat
• Bring up all the bags of "stuff" from the boot of the car that I avoid because they're heavy :rolleyes:
• Find a matched bet (got a free offer through today and should make best part of 50 quid )
• Try and find something in the depths of my cupboard to wear to xmas party next week (don't think cutie teacher is going and anyway he's not available, so not splashing out on new clothes )
• Complete all survey in inbox
• Work out what I still need to get for xmas
• Remember to be home by 4pm tomorrow as the road gets shut for the local carnival and otherwise I'll have to park about 3 miles away :rolleyes:
• Watch Strictly and possibly go down and see the carnival as it passes
• Reply to party invite for ds (should have done last week)

Think thats enough to be going on with :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

benbenandme

I saw your list is pretty mammoth today too Hypno, will catch up later when I expect we're both collapsed on our respective sofas Have a good day

benbenandme

Okay, first job is done, I've done the matched bets thats just under 50 quid I should make today :beer: Time to get up now and crack on with the rest of the list, I have a feeling its going to be a very long day :rolleyes:
