    hmmmm (again), I have done the notebook, and I have obviously missed something somewhere along the way because the shortfall that I thought we had covered, we don't have covered! I think it is the car tax that I failed to consider last week, but of course that is over £200 I paid out at the weekend........ah well, I will have to catch it up with some of the challenge money.

    At least the car tax has been paid, and DS's training fees have been paid......so it is not surprising that we are finding this month tight, really! I have to admit I was quite surprised (pleasantly so) when I worked out that we wouldn't have the shortfall.......I shouldn't have trusted that pleasantness so much!!

    Have a nice lunch Hypno - you deserve it.

    I have transferred Quidco and Amazon money between Savings and Loan, checked all online banking including DSs'.

    Need to read meteres and input when i get home and hopefully the last of the Christmas Pressies will have arrived so i can get them sorted before going to a governors meeting.

    Apart from that - not much doing.

    Have a nice one - albeit a cold and slippery one.

    Lists looking healthily crossed out already. Must start doing that again on my diary - it was a good motivator (until I stopped!)

    Hypno, where do you get your energy from? :rotfl: If I could only achieve half of what you do I'd be a happy bunny. Its -8C outside here today, and youngest (14) refused to wear a scarf or gloves. Kids, go figure! I have so many layers on and still have my scarf on indoors at my desk (sorry don't care what it looks like I'm cold). Hope everyone's well.
    CC2 = £8687.86 ([STRIKE]£10000[/STRIKE] )CC1 = £0 ([STRIKE]£9983[/STRIKE] ); Reusing shopping bags savings =£5.80 vs spent £1.05.Wine is like opera. You can enjoy it even if you don't understand it and too much can give you a headache the next day J
