    Hopefully it’s going to be a lazy day,  Today dd’s boyfriends dd is visiting for the afternoon, I managed to get a last minute late night Iceland slot yesterday so we have plenty of bread coming as we have run out thank goodness, I’m not fancying the shops just yet. 

    The plan today is to look through the finances and make a final budget for next year, and then perhaps set a mini challenge or two for the start of the year, with Xmas out of the way and no shops open it should be the easiest year ever to save money (aside from the huge food bill!).
