    Quickly checked my account. I have £30 extra in there, I think 25 is from the holiday insurance (reminds me must write them a rubbishy review!) and I put some cash in the other day- tho I'm not really sure where I got that now! So I sent it to the mortgage, I might get in trouble for this. Then I checked and I was a bit short as I added stuff up wrong, so I had to sneak some xmas money out. I will probably get told off for paying off more as I need to update the board in the kitchen so my husband will ask how I've paid more off since this morning... I hope there no other payments I've forgotten they're usually all written down!

    Just noticed also that I am 40 points off a £5 voucher on my survey, they all seem to keep crashing on me on there at the moment so thats no good all been a bit slow.

    Will update tomorrow when we have done the BIG christmas food shop...

    It must be lovely to have a strong partner who can tell you off :D (and share responsibilities etc.)

  • Hey jo
    I think its part and parcel of going shopping near xmas! I get dragged into the "Oh I must just get that" every year! still it makes for a lovely day and especially with a little one you only do it once dont ya?
    enjoy your time off at xmas- well deserved I think! ;)
