    I decided it was a wise idea to drink two bottles of red and go to bed at 5am

    By yourself? :eek:

    I know you're an adult, but that's taking it too far Doodles!

    Right!

    Hoovering done, got toiletries, a brolly and a mobile 'phone topup.

    Time for some lunch, then on to cleaning the kitchen :)

    Edit: transferred the last few quid from my current account into my ISA - sig updated accordingly.

    It's payday, my sig has been updated and I'm giddy with excitement! Having one of those days where it looks like all the planning is worth it and that, yes, I will actually be debt free one of these days :)

    1. Paid back my GF the last £200 I owed her
    2. Another £150 towards the debts
    3. A few quid into the ISA (and plenty of shrapnel for the sealed jars!)
    4. Transferred money for all remaining Christmas presents and my brothers' stag do next year to my prepaid credit card
    5. One less day in the office 'til Christmas - and it's December tomorrow (the first few Christmas decorations have found their way out of the cupboard)

    All that and I've managed to get through a tonne of work in the office this morning. How many birds is that with one stone?....

    Chucked another few pounds into the ISA. Gotta save money to have money... :D

    Edit: And another £10 in the sealed jar!

    I like how it's the first day of December today and it's also the first proper frost of winter :D Really sets the scene for the run up to Christmas (or should that be run down, as everybody's nackered?)

    Looking forward to finishing almost all of my Christmas shopping today, have paid a few quid into the ISA and have updated my sig for that and for remaining days 'til Christmas. Only 15 after today...

    Only one Christmas present left to buy/order (and maybe a few rolls of wrapping paper)... :)

    More pennies into the ISA, too. This is starting to read like a PAD blog!

    Oddly enough, you're the third person to make that joke...

    Christmas shopping now finished, stag do booked up and paid for, £1 in the ISA and 1 less day in the office to Christmas.

    That is all.

    Spoke to B,O & S to make my debt payment tonight and discovered that I owed £60 more than I thought (apparently) :( That has ruined my evening something fierce.
