    have left over dinner for tonight's dinner (venison, lush!)

    Me too! Well game pie, of which venison is a key part.

    Not much doing on the DFW trail today, largely due to the fact that the banks are closed and my balances haven't been updated :(

    Quidco clicks (10p)
    Free Scratchcard (10p - you think they'd give a New Year bonus!)
    NSD, as the shops are closed anyway
    No/minimal cooking day, as we have loads left over from Hogmany.

    Happy New Year all.

    Happy 2008 everyone, this thread has been a great inspiration to me and many others during 2008 :T

    My Dad went shopping to B&Q yesterday looking for bargains and came away with a free (real) Christmas Tree! It is now in his porch while he wonders what to do with it :rotfl: It did make me chuckle! Very MSE of him I thought.

    Had a lovely night out with the girls last night, our meal was overcooked and quite rotten really but the company was wonderful and I laughed and laughed. Did not end up spending too much in the end either so was pleased but every penny spent was worth it.

    Today I am going to set up a 2009 file with information on the various challenges from here I want to do this year, and also goals for the year etc. I really want to make the most of this year. I also have some decluttering to do and get some bags ready for the charity shop. Will be a NSD as everywhere is shut, just have to try my best to keep away from the Body Shop Sale website, lots of lovely things on there :)
