Not long to go now,

I'm not going out tonight, have had 1 baileys and 1 Gin and tonic, so feeling quite good:beer:. I will be glad to see the back of ths year, it has not been a good one for me or my family, so I hope that 2009 will be a lot better. I have started my journal, so it will be an interesting read (for me) at the end of the year. If anyone else wants to read it, they can at the end of the year, I promise it will be a riveting read:p .

I went to tesco after work, but no whoopsies except turkeys and I have that coming out of my ears, so no point in buying more of that. I had a splurge, bought 2 baking trays, (in prep for the biscuits I intend on making), and some bottles of booze, gin, baileys and bucks fizz. Then that's it for me, frugality reigns!!!!

My freezer is full to bursting, so hopefully I won't need to buy food for a wee while, I'll just be looking for bargain buys. I might treat myself to one of those wee chest freezers, but I need to make sure I've room for it.

DH is going away for 1 day on Monday, and while he is gone, I'm going to look at all the toiletries I have. I get given fancy ones as gifts and I don't use them, I keep them good:o . So these will need to be used, I'll let you know what I find.

I'll need to go down and see DH to see what he's up to soon, then get the pie paste lid on for the steak pie. Stew and peas are ready for the bells!!!

HAPPY NEW YEAR WHEN IT COMES!!!! LET THE CHALLENGE COMMENCE!!

Hi, I have loved reading and occasionally contributing to this thread - learnt lots, and I will do my best for 2009. More than money, the sense of support to those who need it is truly wonderful.

thanks, and Happy New Year to you all x

Hi everyone
I've followed this thread for the whole year and I just wanted to say a big thank you to everyone....I've picked up loads of tips, recipes and lots of laughs along the way... you're a great bunch of people
I can't guarantee that I will be able to live on £4000 for the next year...but you've all given me the incentive to have a go....don't add me to the list though cos I'm always full of enthusiasm at the beginning of a new year! and then it starts to wane...:o
I'll keep popping on...if thats ok
and a very HAPPY NEW YEAR to you all :T :T:T
