    Hi

    We had a lovely lazy evening last night. OH and I went out for dinner last night and soon after we came home I went to bed. I slept for 11 hours!

    Today has been busy - I've finished off two reports for work (which took me most of today) and I will soon start on the ironing while watching Small Island - I'm really looking forwardto watching this as I loved the book.

    I also need to make sure that I finish sorting the finances and moving a bit of cash around to make sure I meet my financial goals - after all that is why I post here!

    I have made my lunch for tomorrow and will make sure I pack lots of snacks. It is so tempting to buy lunch at work but it will put all of my hard work back.

    Better get on with the ironing or I'll spend all night surfing the internet :o.

    Thanks guys

    Work is still really manic. I managed to leave fairly early and have done a few things around the flat including a load of washing. I try not to do a load so late in the evening as the WM is above the bedroom of the little girl who lives downstairs.

    I haven't really had much time to focus on money - I am taking out money every other day as I am not organised with lunch. I am taking my snacks in but everyone is routing for us which means that we have fruit and chocolate to keep us going!

    I wouldn't be surprised if I am in bed by 10pn which is VERY early for me. I hope I don't get my second wind soon.

    OH took me to the theatre last night - was brilliant. I just wish I wasn't so tired!

    I can't wait for a week on Friday so that I can sleep all weekend!

    Waving to you all

    Thank you all for your messages.

    My mum had a heart attack last week Sunday and is now in a coma. It has been the hardest 10 days of my life. I have been with my family which has been a great comfort.

    Money saving hasn't been the biggest priority. I have to take each day as it comes.

    If I can ask anyone thing from all of my MSE friends - it is this: please remember to tell/show your family you love them.

    I'm still determined to be debt free but it will have to go to the back burner for a while. I do come on and read for a bit of relief.

    Love to you all and have a happy and healthy Christmas.
