    Hi Guys i need help please. I was thinking of getting a wii fit for christmas as DS and DD are having wii console. Trouble is are they worth having will i use it or will it be a five min wonder? Anyone got one?

    I think it depends on how old the kids are - my daughter plays it but younger son doesn't (he's 4) - it is good when friends are round as well. I would say we have got our use out of it with the kids personally.
    1st debt - Next [STRIKE]£583.32[/STRIKE] [STRIKE]£408.71 [/STRIKE] £0 :j
    2nd debt - MBNA - £6,618.52
    First in many many to go - baby steps and all that!
    First lump sum to go - fingers crossed!
    08/06/09 - [STRIKE]£11,497.68[/STRIKE] NOW - £9,757.75

    :DMorning had a night out last night drink and curry after work reluctently agreed . Good news isi spent only £23 on food and drink and had lift home ealy rather than opt for late taxi! Would have been about £45 night out minimum last year!!:j
    Really feel that i have changed last year it would have drinks all round and overpaying my share of the bill!!:rolleyes:

    Other acheivments this week are having trousers altered by my mil rather than buy more to wear out!! Little steps!!
    Hope your all good
    BTD:D
