I have lots of good intentions this evening, but I'm not convinced I'll get that far! Like supergirl I feel like curling up in front of a dvd and having an early night!

Well GB I hope whatever you get up to, it's what you want to do! :beer: Here's to that sofa!!!! :beer:

SarahS that sounds like my issue with the awning, they wanted to charge me for replacement (well over £100) then they lost them (I think they planned on not sending them back as told me I needed to replace them but DP said he wanted them to try to repair them) so they had to replace them free

WOO HOO Gotta love it when that happens eh?!!!!???

Hugs Sarah, hope you all feel better soon, but have a lovely evening all together anyway...

(Thanks Flower!!)

And good news from Virgin too - isn't it sutupid that they will send it out anyway free, but not give you one free in the first place? still, at least it all worked out in the end... good for you...

( I know, bonkers, but I'm not moaning!! )

We had a takeaway last night too - the budget is really starting end of Jan, as wages/catchups will be all back on track by then, but will need to tighten belts just a bit in Jan to get to end of it (why is it such a looooong month?)

( Budget, budget, did someone mention a budget )

Quick question - the piggyback thing - I know when I did mine a while ago there was a spreadsheet on this site that I could put all the totals into and get the best way to pay them back - I have the original one I did a few months ago, but need to update to make sure everything is right, and I can't find it now - do you know how I can???? thanks hun x

( No babe, I don't, that sounds great though!!! I just used the snowball calculator, not a spreadsheet )

Congrats on the sausages soappie, they look fab, wonder if i could get sausage making stuff for my birthday *winkwink nudgenudge JayJay*

And congrats on the ironing toots!!! I'm a evil person who ignores my iron...

I'm feeling quite medetive this new years eve, though I must remember to put the bedding back on the bed at some point otherwise I'llfeel cold aswell later. kinda going through the stuff I want to change in my life and what things are important to me. I've realised alot over the last couple of months about myself and others, and although I still have a way to go on that whole learning relaxation thing, I think I'm getting something of a handle on it. One of my many resolutions is to continue working on that..(and of course flylady-ing, the weight, the money...:rolleyes: ) Got a lot of plans for 2009 in SkyCity, I hope I can pull them off. I'll say this now, although I'll be around til we go to bed (possibly before midnight)

Happy New Year all my fab flylady (and gents) friends. I hope 2009 is special for the many good and pleasureable things it brings you. I wish for a happy, healthy and wealthy new year for us all!

awh thanks you lovely people - I HAD to do it as I would have felt I was letting the side down - now I know you lot wouldnt have seen it like that but it was what spurred me on - so I couldnt have done it without the thread - I cannot remember NOT having ironing it s been that long!

mudbath you certainly must have needed that sleep - take care and dont overdo it tonight! but have a lovely time in your sexy oversized tracksuit!!!!
emily hope the settling in is going well and you have a brilliant New Year in your new home. What a great way to start a new year!
lil_me how lovely to be a part of a little animal's search for a loving home - you are exactly right for that job - you are so caring about animals - well done you.
Kazm huge hugs angel - not the way you would want to end the year - hope you and DD have a cosy girlie evening together - and we love you loads! Now you have had your results and know the problems you will be able to tackle them and get help from the GP etc - gluten intolerance is def on the increase.

Hugs to all the rest of you - was so tired after doing the ironing I forgot to do tabs for the posts so I have forgotten everything I wanted to say.

to all those party animals going off for a good time - have fun - be safe - and have a Very Happy New Year! All the very best wishes for a healthy, happy and organised 2009!

I am not going anywhere so I will see the rest of you later - I am off to tidy up a bit now and see if I cant enter 2009 with a respectable flat!!
