    Thanks, everyone :) xxx

    So.…. I went to see my Nan on Sunday - apparently she's rallied somewhat - was moaning about being bored and wanting to go out!! SHe has a chest infection (XRay is how mass was discovered) and the antib-s are clearly kicking in well! She is very frail, though. But alive - could be days, could be a couple of months - who knows..... Shall just roll with it

    In money news, we paid off £648.49 capital from BTL in Oct - am happy with that. YTD reduction is over £7.1K, so I *should* achieve new target of £7.5k in Nov, and hopefully get to £8k reduction in Dec.


    Other than that..... holiday was low spend whilst out there. I brought back the half dozen unopened beers (poured the half bottle of wine away :() and remaining dry food bits (and the few tomatoes and half onion - packed in a tub and then zip-seal bag! :D) Should get the security deposit hopefully refunded on Monday (can't see any reason why it wouldn't be in full ) Shopping fone since at Sainz at FArmf00ds with vouchers made use of :) ANd some shopping at Tesc0 of gift cards (for the student children) - which resulted in a 10p off petrol voucher - pleased about that, as I thought the gift cards would be excluded :)


    Am hoping to get lots of Xmas done this month as have work for 8 days or so in Dec (only have 2.5 hours in Nov! :D) and things like Xmas fair, school performance etc. Think DS3 is basically done, but the other 3 are nowhere near (and DD and DS2 have bdays either side too - nightmare!)
    I am the master of my fate; I am the captain of my soul

    All good news, then. Getting Christmas prep done in November is a good idea - even I need to get the cards done in November, you have a lot more pressies and whatnot to supply.



    Keep going! :):):)
