I hate wrapping too, thankfully most of it is done now.
I've tried really hard this week not to spend and I think the last two days I haven't been near a shop. I will try to do that again today, just not sure what to make to take to work.0 -
£5 on BB this morning and I just paid £50 off my mortgage. It'll take off approx £150 from the total mortgage amount. It's so motivating.0

Well done on the mortgage overpayments yukki - paying £50 saves you an extra £100 off the mortgage - wow - I can see how motivating that must be! Shame they don't do the same for credit cards!
:D:rolleyes:
Well done on the bingo too, my bonus has run out now but 'hubby's' is still ongoing for a while.
