    Dinah, I'm surprised you could even think about something to sew at 11:40pm nevermind do it! I could barely type straight!

    What's everyone up to today? I'm finding it seriously hard to put time to one side to get money making done, so I'm going to set my desk up as a little working area and see what happens! Want to get to payout on STP at least.

    Only 2 sleeps till Christmas!! :D

    ETA:
    Noo Cinny, you should have thrown your 14s out!

    I did, that's the problem! right, I'm off to weigh myself too. Will get me out of bed at least :o Well done on STS weight wise though!

    I am still in bed too haha. OH didn't get home from work till 3 am after starting at 10am yesterday! Suppose I had better get used to this (at least he gets overtime!).

    A cup of tea sounds good Tete might do the same myself.By the looks of Facebook half the motorway is shut down there and is too icy for people to drive eek. I am hoping the roads are ok tomorrow for me to drive down. It is mian roads 99% of the way so should be ok by lunchtime.

    Hehe, it's nice to all be sat in bed chatting instead of at work! Oh nooo to throwing the clothes out though! I'm still in all my 'old' clothes and they're all way too big but I don' want to buy loads of new stuff because I still want to lose weight :rolleyes: Sigh if only I had a little money tree!

    When I finally get up Cinny I will be doing some washing up, doing some washing, starting to pack. I also need to pop to a shop and get a selection pack for OH then wrap up the last few things I got him.

    Tete - a money tree would be useful! I am hoping Father Christnas brings me some clothes vouchers.
  • Cinny - I definitely have a cake shelf going on! But I'm determined that after Christmas I will be good and start to eat more sensibly!

    All right you big bunch of show-offs! I'm still at work and I don't even know when I'll be leaving!

    I think OH still believes that Father Christmas doesn't come if your bedroom is messy as he is planning on cleaning the whole flat today and has given me the job of doing the bedrooms to do tonight even though I said I'd be home late. Grrr. I think I'll just hide any spare junk in boxes and stick them under the bed!

    My Mum forgot to put a present in door 23! I was gutted this morning! OH gave me a present to make up for it- a Barbie eyeshadow set! I'm so grown up!
    Overcome the notion that you must be ordinary. It robs you of the chance to be extraordinary!

    I've got lots of lists too Dinah! Although I've started adding very small things to them to motivate me, like 'post letter' and 'buy onion' :)

    I'm just winding down my money stuff for 2010; have checked my credit report and bank accounts and shuffled around my pay so shouldn't have to worry until I get back off hols.

    It's nice to be finished at work for this year! I've worked my fair share of Christmases in retail, so I really feel for you girls, but at least it will fly by and you'll first in line for the bargains!

    I'm heading into Brighton for some last minute bits and bobs and my dad is taking me for lunch so it's not too arduous! Have a lovely Christmas eve eve! x x

    Looking forward to the new diet challenge in the new year today tbh, I haven't weighed in but I'm sure Christmas is going to catch up to me.

    I think I still believe that too Birdie, have been cleaning the flat even though we aren't actually here for christmas haha.

    I made OH a proper breakfast before work, he is so tired bless him. At least they have said they will let all the newbies off early tomorrow.
