    Thank you all, and a Happy New Year to everyone too! I'm feeling very positive and I'm sure 2012 will be fab :D

    Just back from pal's after a lovely new year party in a hotel near her, not much money spent but a fab time had by all, lots of singing, dancing, fireworks and laughter with no hangover today - just as well considering the journey involved!

    Itching to make a mortgage overpayment but it'd just come out of my account and sit around in limbo till tuesday so shall hang on until then.

    This afternoon shall be slobbing on sofa, dinner with DS and off to see my folks - think we might walk to offset some of the eating and drinking!

    I didn't think you were supposed to blow. Have I been doing it wrong and why has nobody told me?

    Blowing is *never* *ever* criticised. Fact.

    Perhaps you just need more practice if you're dis-satisfied... :grin:

    Well it's time to get organised! I think I'll get the tree down today, seem to have yet more washing to catch up with - strange as the washing baskets were all empty on 31st... kids eh?

    Yesterday was a NSD and hoping for another today, just tidying and the gym for me :D

    I've done a rough food plan for the next few weeks and don't think I'll need to do much shopping except for bread, milk and fruit/veg, hoping to do this on a budget of £30 to save a bit of money... will see how that goes but no alcohol for january either so should save a bit there.

    Must have been a bad bit of boozing if you've sworn off alcohol... ;)

    oops, failed on the NSD - bought a game for the Wii and had to go get string in the supermarket and bought a few other things (only £7.50 so not too bad).
