Morning everyone

I am definitely money neutral for this year and really pleased about it. Claimed another £15 Amazon voucher this morning ready for next years pot so thats £30 already.

Elysia - did you get my long PM i sent Monday? Took me hours to do.

Youngest daughter has her braces taken off today, she has the morning off due to exams anyway so taking her to the orthodontist lunchtime, then dropping her at school and a quick visit to my Bro's house to drop off their presents then off to do the rest of out Christmas shopping. Glad when that is done as I need to getthe Grandchildren something each and want to get one of thems wrapped ready for Thursday as my son is popping in and he can take them back with him.

Youngest daughter's boyfriend texted me yesterday to ask what she would like for Christmas (been seeing each other 6 weeks now bless). She has just bought token gifts for all her friends, only about £2 or £3 each so I gave him a couple of ideas and he texted back saying he was thinking of getting her a pair of trainers and come chocolates. I said to him she would love that but a bit expensive and he said he had been saving up bless. Only thing now is I feel a bit guilty about her only getting him something small so thinking of letting her buy him something else to go with it but I cant let on what he has got her so going to be a bit difficult.

Just checked the BBC weather site and we are due more snow this weekend, not looking forward to it at all. Anyway, better go, Rufus xx

Yes Rufus, thankyou. I did reply - honestly. Check your inbox. I had a funny message today too. Usually you get a pop-up box saying you have a message - this one only did a quick flash (oo err) and I thought I dreamt it. :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

Will pm you again but thanks so much for the info anyway.
