    Probably nothing unfortunately! Want to try and get cards and the little things like chocolates as well, and maybe have a hot chocolate with my sister :)

    Almost done now, just a couple more presents to get and the bits and bobs like chocolates to go with gifts.

    No confessions! My sister did buy me a new top that I've had as an early Christmas present for a night out in December :)

    Morning

    I cant wait to get to work and check my spreadsheets, feel like my account is all over the place due to the Christmas shopping.

    I have also realised how easy it would be to get back into spending mode, even though I'm buying for other people at the moment you get straight back into that habit of spending money, it's scary!

    Glad I'm nearly done and I can go back to no treats, I know that probably sounds crazy, but it's safer that way!

    I'm waiting for my points to update! Been saving them since April I think for Xmas and if I am right we have about £40 worth...I'll probably turn them into Days out vouchers or similar to save me spending loads in Half Term and Easter next year :j

    I always exchange my vouchers for a goldsmiths voucher then I buy DH xmas present as he has a passion for watches. Just tried to redeem them and the website is down due to too many visitors.
    Hope your spreadsheet numbers add up after your shopping, I know what you mean about enjoying spending
