    Hi,

    Hope everyone is having a lovely Christmas.

    The boys with some help from small husky have demolished a turkey crown, gammon joint and silverside. £70 quids worth in 2 days - that's impressive. And don't forget the 2 packs of pork and chestnut stuffing, 2 packs of bacon wrapped chipolatas and 2 packs of plain. Where in the name of all that is holy did they stuff it?

    Joined Hypno's plan for 2010...going for £80k this year...£2k down already and hopefully more when I do the accounts. This will pay for all the building works without adding to the mortgage, Then I tackle the mortgage.

    Is everyone else doing the big plans and challenges for 2010 (I like having goals even if you don't hot them you usually do pretty well being on the journey).

    Challenges you say? You know I love a challenge!

    I'm on the Live On 4k Challenge (Living on 8k though as I'm not getting rid of my internet and like cake...) and also the £100 clothing challenge (Spend loads in the Next sale today as the challenge starts in January!) and was aiming to be Debt Free By 30 (15th December 2010) so.....

    I'm doing a challenge or two, yes!

    You in work next week? I start back on the 29th - urgh. Fancy lunch to forget about work? :D

    If you were driving....

    Turn right at Makro as though you were heading to the Gyle. Left at the roundabout, taking you into the industrial estate and it's on the left. If you get to the Royal Mail you've gone too far!

    Sounds pretty close. I've a car parking space on Tues (had one Wed and Thurs last week but couldn't use because of the snow) so that should be grand.

    Assuming most conf calls will be cancelled as normal people on holiday...will text you Tues.

    Read about you and Paperchase...oh the itchy finger stationery urge...store of satan must resist.

    When they're selling birthday cards for 50p and sexy wrapping paper for 25p a sheet instead of £1.50 it would be inhuman to walk past it :D

    Isn't it spooky that Satan and Santa are anagrams!!

    Maybe it's the whole red outfit thing.
