    Ds let me have an hours sleep on the sofa and I do feel a lot better since then ;) I've managed to have quite a good tidy up, done two loads of washing and written half of my christmas cards :D Ds sat at the table "making" christmas cards for his two teachers, but tbh they're preety awful and I don't think we could send them in, but it was good that he did something creative for a change :o:o

    Quite a productive morning after all; we went for a walk along the high street and did a few bits off of the list. I also took in a prescription, bought a few bits for dinner tonight and got a couple of chinese lanterns in a cheapy shop for xmas and new year :D I remembered whilst in the cheapy shop that I needed a frame for ds new school photo and mamaged to get one that matches the others I've already got.

    I also emptied my small change piggy and banked £12 of coins, I'm not putting this towards the mortgage pot though, I'm going to use it to go towards my Next bill, currently it stands at £56 and I want that gone this year too.

    Well done on your progress through the list BB - I'm glad it's not just me that starts the weekend with a list of stuff to do! Glad you're feeling better too - a lot of us on here seem to have that same bug that starts with a sore throat and continues with coughing that leaves the throat feeling even worse. :mad:

    I've just paid the money to Next, it now stands at £43. I am going to get it cleared this weekend somehow I've decided, actually shouldn't be too hard, I've got an item on ebay that finishes tomorrow thts currently at £26, so another £17 to find. Its free listings this weekend on ebay too so I will hunt out a few more bits to pop on there that may hopefully mean I can get that cleared then I can get back to concentrating on the mortgage pot ;):D
