    £15 on BB this morning :)

    Spent more money in sainsburys as they still have 25% off their clothes and am going out tonight so wanted something new to wear.

    Laptop bought just need to get something for my Mum and Dad then I'm done.

    Going out tonight for my xmas work meal. Just drinks to pay for. It's all about spending at the mo lol. Dreading the credit card bill when it comes in, I'll be skint. Still the points will be nice.

    yeah it was good. I NEEDED to get drunk I think, so it cleared my head. Shame my head is pounding still now lol.

    I have been entering competitions all afternoon. Thinking of ways to generate stuff to raise money for all my causes lol.

    £5 on BB withdrawn this morning and £5 won again to withdraw tomorrow morning :)

    Having a stonking week of work starting tomorrow and ending sunday, but then I can relax and enjoy xmas as will only work a few hours on 23rd, then off for a week.

    I haven't spent any money today which is great, have wrapped some more pressies, watched dd2 in her first xmas play dressed as an angel which was my proudest moment for a long time.

    Withdrew my £5 this morning, but no more wins today.

    Got my nursery bill today for jan and they have deducted £43 off for 1st Jan which I'll transfer straight over to a pot. But they didn't take anything off for xmas day which dd would have gone to, so need to query that tomorrow.

    Also got told we have a small bonus from work so that'll be nice. It's only £50 or so but it'll help the wedding fund or something out.


    Sooo tired tonight and have four more days to work yet before my week is over.

    Did a lot of my wrapping today so that's one more thing done. Still have to finish making my Dad's pressie and sort something for my MIL's boss who bought the kids soemthing. I hate people putting me on the hop lol.

    Still I took dinner in to work from the freezer today so didn't go to the shop and didn't spend any money :)

    I have been spending loads of money on lunches this week, been naughty!

    Well done on the wrapping, I need to wrap my Mums present up, might do it in a min.
  • Urgh - wraping. Got LOADS to do as in spite of our good intentions we've hardly started! I'll probably get the rest of MrEH's done tomorrow night while he's at rugby practise. Last few cards to be written tonight to go in the post tomorrow. :D
