Ahhhhhhh, there all is better with the world :T One more day :beer: Hope everyone has fun at the sales, where I work is heaving and the police have had to come out and grant some peace to the roads again! What a waste of resources

Now I must get some cleaning done at home and I might try and catch up on some christmas tv
Have a great evening all :cool:0 -

once again, the offer of my ironing is open!
...Linda xxIt's easy to give in to that negative voice that chants "cant do it" BUT we lift each other up.
We dont count all the runners ahead of us & feel intimidated.
Instead we look back proudly at our journey, our personal struggle & determination & remember that there are those that never even attempt to reach the starting line.0 -

DD's hit the sales - they didn't spend much, funny how much less they're willing to spend when it's out of their christmas money

DH and I have been going through the budget with a fine tooth comb, once we know what he'll be getting via ESA then we'll be able to do the final tally but it's looking like we should get away without going onto a dmp...fingers crossed.
I've reogranised the freezer - packed up all the cold meats that were left and I've got enough food for 31 main meals - a selection of party picky bits for new years eve and enough pasta/sauces to take it up to 42 meals :T.
Have just whizzed up all the leftover veggies in the fridge and made 14 burger sized bubble and squeak style cakey things which are cooking as we speak....some for tonight - some for the freezer....shall be served with oddments of salami, salad, cheese and bread.
I've made a complete list of everyone I need to buy for next year and set a limit, going to aim for a money neutral year in that respect and hope to cover most of it with vouchers/ebay/quidco.
I feel quite organised.....
Ohhh and I did the ironing.
