    Waited so long for it (I am a huge fan) - but not sure about the special effects in the end :p

    Busy work week so not done much else really. Had the girls round on Friday which was fun and am doing the Christmas markets today with some other friends

    No weight has been lost :o (but none gained either!)

    Just updated my debt total, won't make my sub £20k target but steady progress has been made this year :) If I think about it too much it depresses me how much I still have to pay but I am chipping away at it

    Need to think about a new diary and some aims for 2011 but not sure what yet. Probably steady debt payments and finally tackling my weight

    Hey Shoesy

    I tried for a money neutral Xmas (well for gifts) last year.

    I didn't quite manage it but did well with Boots and Ipsos vouchers. I had £40 from Ipsos which I saved up over the year. Then I used the Boots 342 gifts deal plus used my Boots points and I think I paid about £13 in cash for about £130 worth of stuff.

    I also bought stuff during the year or saved things like free gifts with purchase to 'bulk' up presents. I got a lot of stuff off Amazon as well.

    I wasn't so organised this year but I did buy a few bits and bobs through the year using the special offers on the grabbit board.

    You sound very glam for your Xmas do - our work just has a lunch so not so much of an opportunity for dressing up! Boo!!

    Still I've plenty of other things going on!

    Don't beat yourself up too much about weight stuff over the next few weeks - its Xmas!!!
    I've got my own flat :j:j

    Now I have to pay the bills :eek:

    And feed my interiors addiction ;)
