Xmas do last night which was fun. Held my own with the MD so not too bad although I do think I got a bit to gobby but hopefully not too embassesing. Im sure Ill here today.

Really behind in xmas prep so going to do my list on here so I dont lose it like usual and have several lists on the go.

Moneywise the cc bill is extornionate. Ill do well not to increase debt even with the xmas savings :doh:

Hi again - just caught up with your thread to see how you are getting on. Blimey what a lot of pressies to buy - could the adults not just do a secret santa thing rather than lots of separate gifts? or maybe all agree to agree that it is kids only from now on - that cc will be taking a bit of a hit otherwise I would think.

Hello :wave: Angela and all

Updated the list a bit. About half way there. Have the three days before xmas off so will do last minute bits then. Each year I think Ill say lets not do pressies for adults but never get around to it. I had saved well this year but then just spent it from not budgetting :mad:

Damage limitation at the moment. Got caught with another bug at the weekend which resulted in Monday off. Thats three is as many months so I must be really run down. I have put more weight on so trying to eat better.Why does healthy stuff seem so much more expensive??

Plan to start a new budget inbetween xmas ans new year and go back to proper budgeting with daily posts on here to keep up, meal planning, grocery challenge and more foresight into lunches. Still havent had apprasil sp at work because we are all really busy. Boss ended up in Glasgow for two days. I really want to get it over with so I know what chance and when I will be upgraded.

Think everyones in the same boat with xmas, even trying to be organised we all get caught out somewhere along the line.

Me personally (I know its wrong), but am holding off doing a budget for xmas / new yr, and start again in Jan, not in the way of I can spend, spend, spend, I've got freedom, but in as yes im in debt, I still need to budget, but I still need a bit of a life, I've allocated £100 for now to new yr, Im sure to need odds and sods.

You take care, and get some rest. xx
