I have to keepmy choccie out of the fridge as OH only likes it cold!

I have hidden it out of my view in a basket in pantry and I will probably forget about it in a couple of days. I am going to start buying BOGOF Christmassy foods and stashing them in the basket = less to buy nearer the time.

Also just been reading on here about Christmas eve hampers and really want to do one!!

I'm off to look at the xmas eve hamper thing, that sounds superb. I have started buying things for christmas, I hate it when the shops get crowded and I get all hot and stressed. Hope to have everything done early, but you know how those good intentions sometimes end up!

You know that phrase: the mind is willing but the flesh is weak?

I feel like that about my debts at the mo, my mind is willing to bash them but my wallet is weak. Mentally I want to throw all I can at them, trouble is I dont have anything to throw at them!

We have managed to scarpe together the £601 for the HIP so need to pay it by the end of the week. Going to be a lean, lean few weeks in the Pip household! I suppose I shouldnt be too downhearted as pre frugaldom we would Never have been able to get that much together.

In my Xmas eve hamper I was going to get me and the Pipster some new PJs. A nice Christmassy movie like a Christmas carol, probably muppet version not classy theatrical version although in truth I just love that story in any form. A christmassy beer for OH, hot choccy for me, bars of choccy, Someone posted a link for some awesome christmas rubber duckies and Pip loves his so might get them for his Christmas eve bath. Ive bookooched a book for Pip called Santas squeaky boots to read to him. Ummmmmmmmm all I can think of for now but theres a whole thread of cracking ideas here:

Dont get glum - you have managed to rent out flat, sort things out and the evil one (lucious) will be cowering as you make a more sneaky strike on him when he least expects it
