Never fear i will be here tomorrow too, can't not do this thread tomorrow!! Am meant to be going out so have quite a few dfw things tomorrow!!
Although it all depends on whether i am any better. I was so ill yesterday that my eyes were yellow and bloodshot and whole body throbbing, didn't get to do hardly anything, including putting the rest of my decs up:(. Still not well today and limited in what i can do, so Christmas is somewhat cancelled in our house:eek:, much to my OH's delight:rolleyes:
dfw things for today:
-Keep gas and elec off while partner is at work
-Walk to shops instead of driving, saving on petrol - ended up driving due to feeling carp, however i parked a little away.
-Look for reduced food as the store will be closed for two days, prob won't get any bargain knowing our store, but have to pick up some last minute bits so its worth a look
-Used Sainsburys vouchers to get £10 of free shopping
-Look for mystery shops - Have picked up one job, definitely worth checking today
-Text friends using free texts
-send another friend a free e card
-Read through all fave threads
-Check freecycle for free things
-Make meals from storecupboard
-Continue using up old beauty products
-Check through emails
-Do any surveys
-Check online banking
-Place a matched bet
-Tidy lounge
-Hoover through house
-Get out xmas goodies to be eaten
-Work on website

Morning all!!
:xmassign: Its nearly here!! Feeling slightly christmassy now! Am hoping I get a phone call to say not to worry about going into work...I usually start at 4pm but no doubt everyone will want to be at home by then!
Hopefully a NSD day for me...so here goes:
* Have heating off whilst cooking gammon and Beef. Oven should heat the house.
* Did ironing this morning whilst little one and OH still in bed (again kept me warm whilst heating off!!)
* Go to Brother and S-I-L for tea
* Check on-line banking :eek:
* PAD pay £1 to studio card (got to make the effort!)
* Change into sealed pot
* Start "Freezer" savings pot. Have decided my freezer is far too small so need to save for a nice big one!
Have good Christmas Eve's everyone!!!:xmastree: :xmastree: :xmastree:

Hello everyone!
well, it's nearly here. My visits here have been a tad eratic and will continue to be so until Monday. OH is coming to stay from tonight until Sunday!! Yey!
Tomorow is going to be knackering, up for a relaxed morning, Christmas dinner at my folks then later on it will be the trip to 3 different places to catch all of OH's family. It'll all be worth it.
today I have/will
- ignore the online banking (checked it at just after midnight so maybe it does count...)
- go and see my friends to watch 'It's a wonderful Life' in the Glasgow Film Theatre (our Christmas eve tradition)
- finish the tidying up
- get in a few last minute bits and pieces to see me through till the weekend
- visit a family member to give them their card
Thats it for me I'm afraid.
Have a wonderful day tomorrow (I doubt I'll be here)
KT. x:hello: - Proud to be dealing with my debts!:j DFW nerd No. 1011!
I'm back, and this time I mean business!
