    Faced Argos :eek: and bought emergency secret santa pressie with Nectar points, and got some wrapping paper whilst I was out - so I am finally done, apart from a food shop for Christmas Eve dinner which I will do on Thursday

    3 days at work then I am off until 3rd Jan :j Apart from all the Christmassy stuff I am going to use the time to do some planning and organising for 2011. Plans going round in my head but nothing decided yet - I think smaller, achievable goals rather than grand plans (as I haven't really succeeded with the ones I made for this year :o)

    Excuse me lady,

    you have succeeded plenty, you're over a quarter of the way there with debt :D

    Look forward to reading your plans though as I'm sure you'll come up with something fab.

    Well done for braving Argos - reminds me I have £10 off a spend there until January, but it has to be done online so I then end up paying for delivery :(

    Thanks Lula :A

    Have written the cards that need posting, will do that tomorrow. Got some washing on, but not done many chores this weekend, have Thursday off work though so will catch up then.

    Off to see a friend tomorrow to drop off a birthday pressie, busy week for me :)

    You sound so like me, taking days to do jobs like the Christmas cards that other people on here would probably do in 15 mins :wall:

    :o That's me all right! Maybe my plans for 2011 need to include not putting things off and delaying all the time!
