    I'm okay, thanks hun. Seems as if you're doing great, well done xx
  • Aww bless you sea, I ahve been watching your thread/s. Hope all will/has gone well regarding your children/oh.

    Thanks babes and beanie, I trust you have had a great holiday season :)

    Ok so what has happened? not much :rotfl: Oh yeah christmas :rolleyes: It was fabby, we had a great time and it was much better than last year. Gift wise I recieved some really practical stuff which I asked for as I didnt want 'bits'. One of the best that I got though was £30 worth of itune vouchers, woo hoo that will last 1/2 the year and also I asked mum for a new shaver so I could get the matching one in January ~ she got me both bless her. Also after smashing my terrmundi in november (acidently) my little brother got me a new pig, ok its not sealed but its plastic so wont break :rotfl: So now I just have my campervan for display only and everything is going in this new pig :D So I had a fab time.

    Money wise all is great. I had to spend £3 on xmas sweets/gifts and then I spent £1.98 on some old vinal records to craft with so I am now up to £17 spent. I have roughly 15 days to go so I am doing very well :D

    Hope you all have a great new year ~ and good luck to you all for 2009 :beer:
  • Just a quick update to add that I have just checked my online bank and the standing order to my savings isnt there anymore :o So i just payed manually but I payed an extra £5.05 too. Thats the odd £3 I have left of my monthly money and £2.05 thats been floating in my spending account for over a month :D I now have £20 till the 15th of january :) simple :j

    I love reading pap threads - a hyperbolic obsessiveness with the most minute aspects of the financial world :D Glad to see you're managing to meet your demanding plans - kudos!

    They can also be used to scare animals away from the garden :D A worthwhile use for covermounted magazine freebies! :money:
