BTD - all the little changes make the big difference :j

I approach social occasions completely differently now and I am no longer embarrassed by it either, glad you had a good night out. We are allowed them every now and then.

It's so funny how MSE'rs are hoping for Christmas to be over while everyone else can't wait for the big day itself. :rotfl:Different priorities, I guess, but it shows how dedicated people have become here. :T

I know what you mean about getting back to the budget in Jan, you've got to have a treat for christmas, its a family time, time to relax and enjoy urself.

Oooh a bit of cava sounds like a good idea - I will be lost without X Factor as well! We have some friends coming round but to be honest I'd be quite happy with a night in and early to bed!

Nice plans for the evenings, ladies. Mum just took us all to a Toby Carvery where I had a gut-busting roast followed by sticky toffee pudding and washed down with wine. Yum!

I am really looking forward to the break over christmas. But I am really looking forward to seeing our spending more under control come jan. All shopping excuses will be gone. someone owes me some money for some xmas pressies - and I am wondering whether I am going to get it.... pre-mse I wouldn't have been bothered - now I really am!
