Clairebelle. What clothes did you get? Any freebies too? Im planning to go xmas! Lol
Had look at the flat and loved it, so did my mate but we both sat down over a hot choc and realised we need to be in better financial situations and maybe see the best of our current situations. So i am going to stay at home and aim to save another 5k by December 31st! I hope i can do it! This way, when the place i really want comes back ill have the finances there
Passing all my hugs to those of you that are poorly, its cold here and i got caught in the rain, just seen mum has been shopping so we have bits in. Im looking through my food mags and recipe cards for meal plan ideas.

Going to sort out swimming pool membership at the end of the month as will save paying ech time and we can then go more as he loves it.

Its not the chocolate that would be the problem, its the reduced section that gets me hence my name!!

The amount of stuff i get that we think is a bargin and alot still goes in the bin! so not a bargin after all.
