    Christmas bonus day today and I got a cheque for £1000 for which I am very grateful. Lots of places are not paying bonuses at all, so we are quite lucky. I did have a fleeting thought that I might buy myself something sparkly from the jewellers which has bouncers on the door........but I didn't even step inside for a look - went straight to the bank, and when it clears later in the week will pay it to egg.

    Merry Christmas Egg.........:rolleyes:

    Still, it will be 20 boxes I can colour in on Thursday :T

    Fabulous - well done - both getting it and putting it straight into debt busting! :T:T:T

    I will feel very very bad if I spend it on something else. The cheque clears on Thursday, so I have 3 days of trying to avoid bargain ski trips, the early January sales, and sparkly things in the jeweller's window.......

    I did try and compromise......in a very DFW/MSE way. I have £10 M&S voucher from pigsback, so went and bought M&S ready prepared veg, and bloomin expensive potatoes, just because they are already peeled and in garlic and shallot butter, and some M&S sausages, that are twice the price of "butchers choice"......... So we can have an easy to prepare but sort of free dinner, and because it is from M&S we can pretend we are not poor :cool:

    This is not just sausage and veg......this is MSE sausage and veg :D

    Surfbabe, I am not surprised you are feeling tired - you have been ill for a long time, and it takes time to recover. Plus, you are not exactly taking things easy during yuor illness, are you?????

    I have just bought a big bag of haribo......I think it will help my cough :confused:

    I'm working on the principle that if the haribo don't have the desired effect,then the peanut butter kitkat chunky that is next to me, might work instead.........:o

    Happy new diary Hypno! Well done on resisting the sparkly things when you got your bonus - you could always do those squares in glitter pen just so you get a bit of sparkle ;) :rotfl:
