Thanks guys. As you can guess I paid my overdraft off today as was payday yay! Is great to only have one debt to focus on now.

I am taking my car to the garage tomorrow and my mum and dad are up for the day so we might be going to hyde park winter wonderland which will be fun!

I had a nice day today. My parents came up to London and we went out for the day. We went to Winter Wonderland at Hyde Park. It was really nice and christmassy. We went on the big ferris wheel and a rollercoaster thing and also had some mulled wine. Then we went round and looked at all the christmas lights and came back here and had a chinese.

My sister has got her christmas present so we only have about three to think of now, mine and OHs dads are the main problem.

Well it has been a fairly productive sunday so far. We went to Asda this morning and I got my wrapping paper so all ready to start wrapping now. I also got myself an advent calender. I am getting really excited for christmas now, have been watching the christmas music videos while doing the ironing.

Have got to do some reading for my work qualification this afternoon and then might watch another christmas film!

Ohhh an advent calender! I might have to treat myself to one this year too.

Sounds like you had a great day yesterday, you sound very ready for christmas.

Yeah am looking forward to opening it tomorrow!

Not much to report today money making wise. I got a pound on the scratchie so that was good. Had a really busy day at work so didnt have much time to do any surveys or reviews or anything.

Hey Wendz, finally made it onto your diary! Well done on paying off the OD, like you say, must be a fab feeling to just have the one to focus on now. The winter wonderland sounds lovely, can't wait to get there now! (Still wish I was going to Bruges for the Ice Sculptures though!)

Hi Tete, nice to see you here!

My monthly payment to my Dad came out today so the amount is going down. Should only be another 4 months till is all paid off or even sooner if i can make lots of extra money. I also had 10 pounds which I transfered from paypal today so that was another tenner off.

I am a bit excited it is the 1st of December today, OH says I am like a child hehe. My sister and I decorated our tree, is just a cheap one from asda but i still like having one. I will probably do my mums when i am at home as well.

Haven't updated for a few days as been really busy at work. The days are racing past now though and only three weeks till christmas yay!

I am off home tomorrow for the night as we are having our girls christmas dinner tomorrow. Am looking forward to seeing everyone. We are making a secret santa present and I have been making a photo frame. Need to finish that tonight.

Going to write a little to do list for the weekend for myself:

Finish making photoframe
Print Photo
Wrap photoframe
Find out what to get dad for christmas
Hoover flat
Do washing up (if OH hasn't done it)
Take presents home
Post Lovefilm DVD
Do 2 dooyoo reviews

That should keep me busy anyway!

Well I have managed to do most my list so quite productive really. I really need to get on dooyoo as only need to do another 6/7 reviews to get to payout. I also need to look for some photos as we are doing a calender for my Mum for christmas with photos on.

I am just back from my girls christmas meal. It wasn't a christmas dinner but we went to a nice christmassy pub and the food was nice. Spent less than i thought as well which is always a bonus. All the secret santa presents we made were good and we all did different stuff as well which was nice. I got a little calender with photos of us all for each month, am going to put it on my desk at work.
