    Morning all!!:santa2:. Well dh and i relooked at expenditure yest and decided to cull sky, when i rang up i got 6 mths for £12 per mth so stayed!:T. Also dh has said to cancel his gym membership as he can go running and do weights at home saving £24pm:j.
    He is in work today all day in is new part time job bless him so i will make a scrumy lasagne for tea.
    I have not been to any christmas parties and have not missed them thats for sure!! I have a barmeal after work this week and will come to no more than £10 and i am driving and i also have a complimentary buffett this week and drinks and again i am driving!
    (PAT ON BACK FOR ME HA HA)!:rotfl:.
    Got everything for christmas except veg! I have not gone into the whole buffett frozen food(mum did not go to iceland) thing i have family coming one evening and will do a one pot thing!

    Hiya, I wondered if you'd be hitting the sales for next year ;) Although I'd rather knaw my own arm off than go shopping, I am always so pleased with myself when I pull out some pressies that look expensive but cost so much less.

    Hope all's well with you and things continue to be so in 2011 :)

    Good way of thinking BTD - just don't even bother with the negatives - I am going to adopt that as my mantra for 2011 :)
    LBM Feb 2010 £62,700 Total Debt Jan 11 [STRIKE]£49,403.84[/STRIKE] £47,530.32.
    (CC/LOAN = [STRIKE]36,378.98[/STRIKE] 35668.47. O/D = [STRIKE]1255.32[/STRIKE] 1212.35/[STRIKE]1999.78[/STRIKE] 1934.52, BUS = [STRIKE]9769.76[/STRIKE] 8714.98)
    Challenge = Debt at 31/01/12 = £25k. 2011 Payments = £1,944.19/£24,403.84

    There is no point in negative thought, it takes up time and energy which could be used in a positive, happy way!
  • 2011 will be fab! (cause i said so)!:rotfl:
  • OK, if you say so! :)
