    I booked my New Year snowboarding trip today, within the budget I set myself so am happy.

    Small argument with OH about it as we always do 2 weeks, where as this year I only agreed to go if it was for 1 week, when it came to booking he had a little sulk when I wouldn't back down and do 2 weeks. He needs to learn what the word comprise actually means!

    Lots of leaflet delivering this weekend, Saturday and Sunday. All extra pennies towards my Lloyds card so worth foresaking my weekend again, plus it's meant to be hot so the legs are coming out so I can work on my tan whilst pounding the pavements!

    Thanks Herewego, I actually logged onto my bank and sent the £5 after reading your post!

    Hi want to be free, that's partly why I send small payments instead of saving them till the end of the month, I hope it really gets on their nerves, like they really get on mine!
