    Hello, I'm just wondering if someone can tell me when the thread for the January GC starts? Just cos I want to do my "big" Jan shop on the 31st as I'll need milk anyway so don't want to go twice just to fit in with the thread :-P

    had a little wander round somerfield earlier, was passing so would be rude not to, lots of lovely whoopsies, nothing I need but stuff for the freezer and to make soup. Almost compensates for not making it to MrA for the xmas eve reductions. Still on target here and really pleased about that. Ended up making mince pies and cookies yesterday while DS played guitar hero 4, had a lovely peaceful time in the kitchen baking stuff that filled up the oven, took the cookies out to his gf in the evening and they all went. I love feeding people home made food :-D very satisfying.

    This morning I woke up and the first thing I said to my OH was " Wow, I think this will be my fourth nsd" - he looked at me like I needed locking up! I haven't spent anything today though so I was thankfully right. Hope you are all having a good one. Congratulations Searching Me.
    I'm not a failure if I don't make it, I'm a success because I :tried!

    congratulations:j Searching Me:j thats wonderful news


    I'm really pleased with Dec, my Xmas shop cost £94 but I had £87 in nectar points so only parted with £7:j :D

    Have added up all receipts now and finishing December with the grand total of £206 considering I have lost the plot over the last few months I'm really pleased, way under my £300 budget.

    MrsM please put me down for £300 for January 09
