    DS2 woke up at half ten and we have been reading dinasaur books...I think I need to learn how to say the names of them as I am having a stab and making some of them up a little bit at the mo!!!

    Had a NSD today:j, so that is 3 already for Jan!!! Did not join the challenge but still count!!

    Joined two bingo sites, so should get £5 via quidco, and also won a 25p and a 10p... I think if I had the spare cash to waste I could really get into this online bingo!!!!:o

    So a fairly MSE day, have been through my xmas pressies, and three things have gone in the regift box!! Feel a bit bad, but they will never know, and better than to just leave them rotting in a draw!

    It has snowed solid all day here, so coming home was a bit hairy!! Not looking forward to going in tomorrow. Also trousers made it impossible to breath today...because I HAVE BEEN SUCH A PORKER!!

    Hubby had an assesment last night, and his pay goes up by about £1200 this year, so I think we will get around £70 extra a month. The general payrise has yet to be decided, so he thinks that will not be sorted for a while, and wont be very much. Alhough if it gets back dated then its a bit towards the MBNA.:j

    I have applied for an interest free credit card to get rid of my overdraft...as it really depresses me, and I find it makes it harder to budget. So once that is in my acount, I WILL NOT be going overdrawn;). I am really determind about this!


    Can not wait till payday...I actually want to pay bills and check out my total!!
    Right off to put Hubby's new income into spread sheet ;)

    Oooh, sounds like a good afternoon!
    Great news about the payrise :T And I agree about moving the OD. It's much clearer to draw a line under it, otherwise your salary just gets swallowed up :rolleyes:

    As for porkers - I'm with you there - Oink! ;)
