    I'm a boots girl too, which reminds me I need some black ones for work.

    I'm in the process of emptying my freezer as going away on 21st for the week, so I haven't done a weekly shop so we can use up bits in the fridge and freezer then these can be turned off. Some interesting concoctions might be coming up!

    You're wonderful :A

    ...are all women here into boots, is it something I've missed in life that women in boots are in total control of their finances? ;)

    Phew - worn out _pale_. However, miraculously, with the exception a few things for DS and 2 pressie's ordered but not yet arrived, all presents are bought, wrapped and within budget :snow_grin, tree is up, lights worked first time :snow_laug, even remembered the little tree with lights I bought for front window :xmastree:. Living room semi-tidied (collapsed into bath with a glass of wine), just need to finish off then write cards - which will be posted 2nd class tomorrow :xmassmile.

    Will also be posting massive parcel just sold on ebay, have printed off label and also latest comp prize - a book which arrived Friday, got stuck on Amazon and sold for £9.66 profit on Saturday :T.

    Productive weekend all in, also managed to sort out finances to a degree (changed over 3 msytery shopping co's bank details to new account). However, although I 'think' my accounts are up to date this is not reflected in actual bank acounts as there is money in transit between all of them. Have had latest mortgage reduction letters and input figures to spreadsheets. 1 account I am now overpaying £57, 1 by £56 and the other I am leaving as it is as we take the money out of offset every month to pay it so no net difference. Hoping for another cut soon.

    Hope everyone else has had a productive weekend :santa2:

    Looking at those images, it seems very hot tonight, or is it just me? :o

    Perhaps there should be an MSE calendar so we can see you in your boots?
