    I also agree with what has been said by the others, you have had a very stressful and busy year, with lots of changes, it is bound to catch up with you at some point. At least Christmas is coming and you get a break from school. So make sure you take some time out just for you, even if it is just a long hot bath, even if it's the middle of the day - if you get time alone enjoy it.

    hi all

    just logging on quickly - I'm shattered! Trying to get up earlier in the mornings so I can train myself to become a morning person - good in the long term but shattering in the short lol!

    Been plugging away at bb and also my surveys - but also been xmas shopping - not a good combination really. But onwards and upwards. i think I'm finally DONE with shopping - just Sophia's party to go and it's over lol. Sent out the invitations - ended up inviting 12!!!!! Hoping some can't come as my little house is going to be packed lol. going to try to get prepared this weekend as much as I can.

    Also going to try to sort Christmas pressies this weekend - wrapping and that - just to be sure everything's done. Waiting on a few more presents to arrive through the post and then I can send off those presents that I need to send to peeps I won't see.

    Also got some printer cartridges to list on ebay - gotta get them on asap.

    Hope all are well and happy

    Lol! :) I think I might actually go for one now - I'm tired and te work can wait until tomorrow!! Had a great time tonight - sw the kids in their nativity play and they were amazing. Bless little William - his robes as a shepherd drowned him and he had to keep hitching them up as he walked round church!!! Sophia was a superb narrater as well. Their dad apparently arrived early, but disappeared and then came in late, then left before it was over so missed Will walking round. Ah well.

    Have made an impulse buy booboo but think someone else might benefit from it and I'm actually still sort of in profit due to tesco clubcard points - MUST stop reading Martin's emails - they just encourage me to spend on the bargains lol.

    Hugs to you all

    Hi all

    Thanks for the messages - the kids were so happy :) after their performances!!

    Won another £10 on bb- great stuff lol. Got a weekend without the kids so got to getall ready for Sophia's party - got the sweets and pass the parcel prize form B&M bargains!

    THe drink ads on tv seem to be standing out at the moment, but so much better now I'm still feeling strong and going to my meetings and that. EVerything has changed and I'm know Christmas is going to be so much better this year than last! :)

    Money is ok - I guess December is just one of those months!! I've got my solicitor bill to face in January, which is going to affect my debt totals MASSIVELYbut I know I'll handle it - no other choice lol. The divorce is about to be made absolute, so a lot of ending coming with the end of the year.

    Anyway, off to check BB today :)

    Hope you all have a great Saturday :)
