    Am fine thanks and no houseful,thankfully x

    JJ isn't quite sure if he believes in christmas either and he's only 6...shame
  • I was wondering how much longer I will get away with it for - Little Itsa is 6 (nearly 7). I think the problem comes from school with kids that have older brothers and sisters tell each other. Maybe she will be more grateful to me when she realises its me that buys the presents not some made up bloke :o Although the "if you are not good, father christmas won't come" won't work at that stage either :D

    Fun and games here, poor DD came down with a sickness bug again, but she doesn't do things by half, she puked up over 2 other kids and few piles on-route to the loo... worst thing they were in church pratising for the nativity play! She had Thurs off school, bless her.

    Finished off the last of the xmas cards 2ngt, and tidyed up the cards that we saved from last yr to use for xmas tags, now gone posh with crinkled edges.

    Have just ordered the last of DDs stuff, Jessie J CD, Bruno Mars and Westlife (really for me!!), reduced to 3 for £20 in Asda, literally the 3rd was free, then a few bits and bobs on order at argos, all get left to get is a few little nick nacks.

    This may sound so daft, but a mini bit of good news with debts, I'm still paying them, but have got Studio account out of arrears, there asking for £18 as minimum payment, but as I've been paying £20 keep it at that, so nice to see a blue statement instead of red, and another card, I've cleared the arrears as well, and it actually feels things are going in the right direction. Know that won't meet my Nov 2015 target by a long way, but each little step all in right way.

  • Hi mum2one, how awful for DD, they pick up so many bugs at school don't they.

    You are doing so well, all those little steps will be the things that make the biggest difference in the long run ;)
