So, who has over induldged? Feeling bloated and horrible?

*smugly* Not me, but only because MIL cooked and she has all the leftovers and isn't a good cook anyway! :rolleyes:

Soooo, what's everyone up to today?
I am going to TRY and exchange a few of my Christmas gifts I think and go somewhere with the kids-not sure where...and I want to go to the GYM! (Pick yourselves off the floor)

Have a lovely day.:D

    I would quite like to go home actually!!!!

    But as my stupid OH has made arrangements to meet someone tomorrow night I am stuck up north till Monday morning.:mad:

    Oh well, have to drop DS off to meet his dad in a bit and then deal with the fall out when OH finds out!!! tricky situation that should be dealt with in an adult way by OH but unfortunately he behaves like a two year old....

    Nice that DS came along as well to the festivities though.

    Where are you all staying? Must be a massive place!

    After the Farepak fiasco a couple of years ago, I would be reluctant to save with any catalogue thing. How about opening a new savings account (through quidco of course!) and setting up a standing order - Alliance & Leicester give you £20 quidco cash for their online saver?

  • Apparently, it's all protected etc. Actually, I do have an ING account that I never use-I could just transfer £ each month over to that couldn't I?
    But would I...YES. The new improved Bunny will.

    Thanks hypno x

    Is that the one that you get vouchers for bunny....do you get interest...

    The problem with me is that I will start with good intentions and save but then spend the money half way through when an unexpected bill crops up.
