    I really can't be bothered either, beanie......but the children want it, so I will get round to it sooner or later (later.....)

    Just had another try on of LBDs as I am really missing the yummy sugary stuff that is making its way into the office.....thankfully I fit into them (still room for improvement, but its better than it was last week) so I have the motivation to keep going for a few more days :rolleyes: I bought some new heels - bargain from New Look at £7 which certainly helps the outfit :D

    I just posted this on my diary - am watching Kirsty's christmas thingy...

    ermmm..."kitchens can be difficult to decorate at christmas"? does everyone else decorate their kitchen? noone I've ever met has:o.... lounges, dining rooms, halls, gardens maybe but the kitchen?


    or is it just Kirsty?

  • I love my tree going up- but i only put it up two weeks before Christmas at the earliest. I always take it down on the 12th day too..

    *Cough* i have twinkly lights in Kitchen and a bit of the old tinsel..i can't bear anything going to waste(old tree lights and decs) and it cheers me up. Get them out and be decadent..plus it hides all the bits that want painting!

    I put white fairy lights all along the top of my kitchen cupboards, along with fir, holly and ivy. I'm not posh but it hides all the crap I keep up there. It does my head in for 49 weeks of the year but it's all hidden for the festive period :o :rolleyes:

    Morning all........nothing much to report this morning - 20p on a scratchie, but nothing in the banking that can be swept over to the ski pot.......

    I must try and finish my Christmas shopping today in my lunch hour, and get cards etc written this evening. If the queue in the post office is not too long I will also get my euros for my holiday :D

    So....looks like it will be a money spending rather than a money saving or money making day today.....hmmm.......but at least that should mean I am a little more sorted for Christmas.

    I hope you all have a good day - I expect fully sparkly christmassy kitchens by the time I get home :rolleyes:

    Kitchen is very nearly finished and I can use the hob , sink, and oven - but haven;t yet !!!! :rotfl:

    Went to see about mortgage yesterday as our fixed rate expires in January - got a good deal at 3.49% fixed for 2 yrs and consolidated mortgage and reserve loan into one. Then DH got a parking ticket for £60 :eek:

    Anyway have been up ages and done nothing much - have nearly finished Christmas shopping by quidco etc etc.
