    make up,

    what surveys do you do?

    Finished wrapping for me and did my brothers present to me too. He's so disorganised that I bought it myself and have told him he owes me the cash for it! It's an ace M and S cheeseboard that I really wanted. He got very excited about this idea and I've ended up buying a few of his gifts (on Quidco of course) for him. Wrote my own tag and everything!!!

    Hello again,

    I am sober :(

    I dont want to open a bottle of wine & not finish it within 3 days, but wine & work definitely dont mix well for me.

    I dont want to open a new bottle of tonic either.

    I dont want to open my bottle of Disaronno yet as it's a Christmas treat.

    Have no man here to amuse myself with :rolleyes: so had to get my thrills with a bit of goddessing & a payment towards the CC debt. Oh yes, I know how to party :rotfl:

    Pah! None of the M&S codes work and I wanted to get a bagicon9.gif.

    I have used my Tesco points to order myself a magazine subscription for Christmas, had £3 paid by a cashback site and ordered a game for my Nintendo DS for £11.85 using a code on the grabbit board, so quite a good day for bargains considering I haven't left the house. I went to order some presents online for Xmas and they had sold out:eek:. That is throwing out my plans as I wanted to have everything here so I could do the wrapping next weekend. icon9.gif

    I am trying to be as frugal as possible with Christmas, I know I have saved a lot with codes and vouchers and 3for2s and managed to get myself some nice bargains/freebies but I have still been spending. :rolleyes: So I am declaring now that I am going to make 2010 The Year of Living Frugally, I know I can do it, considering all the tips I have learned on this board it would probably be more difficult not to live frugally :rolleyes: but I am going to do it properly. I am not going to spend a single penny without being able to account for it, I did start this earlier in the year but Christmas has thrown me out a bit, so it seems best to go with the flow and start again in January. This of course gives me the perfect opportunity to keep spending up to Christmas. ;)

    Me too Sarah, really want a holiday next year. Going to start my own diary next year and keep doing my spending diary too.

    Hmmm what with living frugally, clothes challenges, being a BAV & still dieting, sounds like 2010 is going to be an absolute blast :rotfl:

    Cant wait :rolleyes:

    I am far too disorganised to keep a spending diary:o but I have fould it works quite well to have to update my £20k challenge each day so I might start putting my spending on here, to shame me into not spending anything:o
