    That's very kind thanks, it feels like it's been a really long day although it's still early, so I'm off to bed :)

    Thanks vix :)

    Day at home planned today, tons of washing and cleaning to do (and lots of internet mooching!) going to see fifty shades with best friend, Dd and her stepdaughter tonight, not my cup of tea but I have been told I must go :rotfl:

    Hanging in there with the budget so far, approx £65 left but i need to pay for Nando's for Dd and I tonight before the film. Unless I've missed something it's not going to last until march!

    :rotfl: I've "created" some money today by finding I skip two months worth of water charges per year, that's going in my secret holiday savings pot :beer:

    My creativity involved persuading the gas/electric company into refunding me £150 of the £232 I am in credit with them by. (I wanted to leave some buffer there, because it is still artic round here)
