    It sounds like you're having a good time Toots and AnW's Mum .

    I've wrapped another 13 presents there's still loads left to wrap and buy:eek:. It took ages, although that could have something to do with the fact the Rabbits were out and they kept trying to eat the wrapping paper. That was when they weren't chewing the skirting boards:eek:. Despite that i'm really enjoying them being in at night they're so comical to watch.

    To be frugal, you need to spend money wisely, simply spending less is not enough.
    If you can't handle me at my worst then you don't deserve me at my best...
