    Have finished with my meltdown now :o had a rant on the phone to sis, (shes repaying for ranting at me earlier lol) families eh who'd have kids?? Hers are grown up so it obv doesnt get any easier! My other sis is just about to start so good luck haha.

    Its the cashback sites that I want to try and work on again next year, finding the free ones or really cheap good ones :) will keep my eye out and if anyone knows of any let me know :)

    Am debating to go to the sales tomorrow now but not driving so cant get too much on my own, maybe just some cards and wrapping paper, and maybe other things I might see.

    Just realised I havent eaten much today, 2 pieces of toast and half a tub of pringles! Oh and a banana. Am consoling myself with a chip butty :o Nice xmas dinner :D

    Thanks, I feel like a moaning minnie when you are all having fun. Have just had a bit of music therapy (ie loud music!!) and a soak in the bath. Have just put the roast in to slow cook but am now wondering if they will have a large dinner as grandparents are still there but dont want to text them again, it will look like I am always bothering them! I'll just have to risk it I guess.
    I am thinking about having a word with his parents when they drop kids off as I never tell them how it is and I think they should know.

    Note to self, listen to music more and dance like no ones watching, its something I really love but dont do unless I am in the car!

    Go pammmy!! Hope doing that has cheered you up.

    Enjoy your time with the kids today and if you think it will help clear the air then have chat with ex mil & fil. Although bear in my mind they are always likely to stick up for there own kids no matter what they have done :eek:

    Anyway hope the lids lived there presents :D

    Well didnt have time to talk to the in laws today as they had parked funny and needed to rush off.

    Kids loved their presents and the treasure hunt and they havent got there lappy yet :) Am thinking where I can leave it for them to find in the morning. Need to leave here about 10.30 to go pick DS1 up and my sis to go to my mums. Looking forward to tomorrow, think it will be the first time it will feel xmassy.
    Played on the karaoke and its quite good as it has a camera on it so you can see yourself on the tv, DD is in her element :D
    All the expensive toys DS2 got, he loved his cheap £5 Bakugan, isnt that just the way?? One up from the cardboard box I guess lol

    Blooming TOTM just in time for family day tomorrow :mad:

  • Hi all - I've got my motivational hat on and offically joined this site as a real, card carrying member! I've just picked up my very first mortgage and OP'd £3,000 on the first few hours after it went live. I get warm little fuzzies when I think how much interest that £3,000 would have saved me over the lifetime of a 25 year mortgage. Although I fully intend to have my mortgage repaid after 8 years (assuming I'm still in the country).

    So, I know it's not 2011 yet but I'm really hoping there will be one... I am looking forward to the support and encouragement from this forum to keep me in the money saving frame of mind!
