    I've done another 5.00 on aqa tonight, so thats 40.00 so far for January (need to get to 50.00 a month,plus in theory about another 12.00 on top for tax :rolleyes: ). Still, pleased with it so far, more than I've done for ages ;):D

    Thats fine Tigz ;):D
    I'm just back home, we met friends this morning down the beach and all exchanged pressies. Then I went to Tesco and spent 68.00, but 7.00 of that was for a present for ex's birthday and 17.00 was mums present, so really just 44.00 for food ;) Then as I was coming out they announced they had a few Wii consoles in stock, and I managed to get one and they were giving Wii Play away free with it, plus the vat reduction, meant it cost 175.00 altogether. I was dead chuffed as I'd promised mum I'd find one and was starting to panic :D ... forgot to add its for Dad for xmas, from me and mum, he has parkinsons and apparently wii sports etc are good for them to play to keep their mobility/ reactions etc.

    That sounds great for the Wii for your dad. I have a fairly immobile American cousin who uses Wii Fit for exercise, she's only in her early sixties but has some problems, and I agree, its brill for anybody with mobility issues.

    A morning on the beach! Lovely.

    Just spent 255.00 on next sale :eek: :eek: ... but I reckon lots will go back and should result in about 100.00 or less ;) I ordered 5 pairs of jeans for me as last time they were all such random sizes I didn't want to chance it this time round,so have ordered several and will see whats what when they arrive. Also ordered a lovely bag reduced from 70.00 to 20.00, and a pink leather holdall for 20.00, as I don't have any kind of bag to put stuff in when I go away, now I just need somewhere to go :rolleyes: :D
