    PS - Anybody else having problems sleeping recently. I have ended up on the living room floor for the last 4 nights because I have been too hot.

    You're kidding right?! I was freezing last night! Had to get up in the middle of the night to get some thick socks on (was eyeing up my winter hat too but I thought that was taking it too far) It's turning cold again tonight too!

    Half way through my year budget, it isn't pretty! Might just go bury my head in some sand instead..

    Um, my comment might be slightly off-topic (seeing that the current topic seems to be Dinah pimping out new fiance!?!) but I've totally caught wedding fever and just been watching loads of 'original' wedding dances on youtube - but the maddest one was an Iranian wedding where the bride bites the groom's finger when he's feeding her cake and he slaps her across the face - Horrific!!

    Anyway, just thought I'd share...

    Maybe the budget will pick up by the end of the year Cinny?

    I haven't been hot, but NIM keeps me from being chilly.

    :rotfl::rotfl:I shouldnt laugh, but could you imagine being at that wedding and what your reaction would be to the groom slapping the bride across the face.

    Cinny - have mine and OHs bedroom! Its a loft conversion and while everyone else is complaining its cold and turning the heating up all the heat is rising up to us. As OH says i could find a draft in a furnace it must be hot when even im complaining.

    OH complains because in the middle of winter I have the window wide open. I love having a freezing cold bedroom then getting all snug under the duvet.

    The budget gets erm.. slightly better! Just finished Octobers and I'll be £270 up in savings and have mine and OHs holiday paid off. So not too bad really! Will just be a bit tight spends wise, given myself £20 a week which might not be enough but I haven't factored in any overtime I'll be doing, or money for helping my grandparents out ect, so will be updating the spreadsheets as I go!

    !

    I know what you mean, theres nothing nicer than feeling all snug under a duvet. Although im sure OH wouldnt agree with me there - apparently im a duvet hogger. Although at the minute hes welcome to the duvet its that hot in our room, i cant even bare for him to lie to close to me at the minute coz i get to hot and bothered :rotfl:

    Morning Poolie!

    Payday for me tomorrow too (Although it is every Friday - still get excited!) Can put my pretty little budget into action!

    Today isn't going too well - Decided to get to the office early so 'borrowed' my Dads gate key, he normally doesn't mind but I got here to find it still had his car keys attached :o Woops!
