    Thank you, trying to make the tasks last the month, decided against whirlwind moments.

    DD she is a cracker, money or anything money related shes got her head screwed on.

    Told her 2ngt she could have £20, so to spend £10 each for mum+ dad as a surprise, Boots get points.......

    Mum after walking round this one area, about 4 times, she narrows it down to 2 items, said its 3 4 2, got yes I know that spent £10 on nan, I'll have the 3rd gift as it would of gone over budget!!

    Then dad - I was suggesting a mini whisky set..... no she doesn't like whisky, suggested port, - no she doesn't like port!!

    She has a bright idea, she'll get him toiletry sets....... ok,,,,,, picks 2 up, sweetheart there no good, dads bald as a coot..... while it worked with nans, I wanted the 3rd present for me! So made her spend the £10 on a Whisky gift set!!

    PTA Meeting, what fun, I'm on toilet duty for the kids xmas party, apparently when its juniors 8-11yrs old, the girls love to gang up in the loos to so their make up and have to be shifted..... as long as I'm seated take a book or my DS!

    2 wonderful days of studies...... hopefully my free adds will be in local paper, mainly dds stuff, but free some space b4 xmas.....xx
    xx rip dad... we had our ups and downs but we’re always be family xx

    Give you a laugh...... last night

    Trying to get an extra hrs studying in, so set dd up on the laptop, on Amazon, said have a look if theres a ds game or 2 you'd like for xmas.

    Yes she choose them......... she choose 30 games....... thought mum+ me go through the list 2day, bless dd as well as name she'd put the number....but she'd gone by populatiry...... so they've all changed.

    Think we've narrowed it down - choose one so far....."i'm a celebrity get me out of here"........ xx

    DD - quick rundown of her latest scam!!

    Went late night shopping, said she could spend £10 on dad and £10 on mum in Boots, surprise prezzie for xmas....

    Doing mums, 1st she was going to have a santury set £10, no we didn't want that.......then gets 2 presents, cranberry set, + giesha make up bag (very bright, + youthful...... mums 64!!), so said to dd its 3 4 2,got I KNOW, ok, sweetheart you can choose another present upto £5 for nanna, she pipes up, I know, but nannas had her £10 so I can have the free gift......

    Then dads present - suggested Whisky set - no, Port set no, dd pipes up I'll get him the Baileys set.... I like Baileys.... NO... then she decides I'll get him seperate gifts.....ok,,,,,, by this time, I'd lost the plot to shop, so she gets him 2 toilettry sets with shampoo, then says while same as nans I'll have the 3rd thing.... told her the sets are no good they've got shampoo in........so what.......He's bald as a coot.... so put my footdown and he had the whisky set.

    Had a lazy day..... have to confess went back to bed for a couple of hrs....shattered.

    Have been good, done my balance transfers, not quite the way I wanted to go as the Halifax couldn't transfer to Aqua as its one of their cards, so put it off Cap 1, that card should be cleared, so close the account.

    Evans card - done a £700 transfer to Aqua, so that should take a good chunk off it, and Dec's statements are dribbling in, so at least can get some figures sorted out soon. x

    Did get my quiet day, dd happy, she came home from Ballet and they want her to do an exam in Ballet and Tap in Feb, the money has to be pd next week!!

    Did 5hrs studying, thou according to the book it should of took 2hrs....... def designed by a man.

    Ordered my last xmas prezzie from mum + dad, thou tell them when they get up!!

    http://www.radley.co.uk/Product/28159_Surprises_Handbags_Handbags.aspx

    I've now decided not to open any more Radley emails its getting expensive!!

    DD - had some money 2ngt, she sold a set of books and her dolls stroller for £20, bless her she said I'm putting that up towards a wii..... then next breath.... there expensive aren't they...... yes darling................. while do you think if I save half that you'd maybe pay the other for me....

    Got to give her 10/10........

    Its brilliant as she has absolutely no idea that shes got one for xmas. The extensive list she did the other ngt, noticed she'd got High school musical 3 ds game, on ebay the other day, it was on wii on offer at £8.99, got it, great, when went to leave feedback the seller had put them back to £11.99 so had a bargain.

    Mums taking her to Boots and argos to get my surprise present on Sunday so could be fun!!

    Off to bed, xx
