    It's quite likely that it will, I was secretly hoping to be debt free in January but it may be February now depending on how saving goes. I don't have much more Xmas shopping to do so I am hoping I wont be too far off but the bonus drop leaves me a few hundred down on my initial plan. Not all hope is lost though, debt free in Feb will still be amazing!

    Thanks Bec, until you wrote that I hadn't even considered it along those lines! Just been racking my brains for budget squeezing... might be January with any luck!

    Morning All!

    Ok, I have some confessions to make......(EB style ;))

    1) You know that pile of ironing that I hadn't done?......still haven't done it! I now have more clothes in the ironging pile then I do in my wardrobe :rotfl:.

    2) I bought daughter another Xmas present today! :o, I blame the people on the grabbit board! Play have a Me To You fleece blanket for a fiver so that is the last one for her...honest!

    3) Still haven't paid my change into the bank. I spread the blame to my work colleague as he hasn't been to the bank for weeks but is hopefully going today.

    PC at home died again last night so I started my tax revision and it went quite well, will do another hour tonight hopefully...and maybe tackle the ironing :D. I had a little brainwave this morning for a present for OH, let me know what you think - I got a voucher for Vistaprint in an Amazon order so I am going to do OH a personalised calendar with pictures of all the places we have been, I've also emailed his dad and asked him to give me all of his families birthdays and anniversaries so I can put them all in for him and he can't forget :T. Best part of that idea is that it might only cost me 99p in postage, what a bargain! Also going to see if I can get a photo mug done. I am on a mission to source cheap presents ;)

    Will do you a ncie savings update next friday and hopefully catch up with everyone elses diaries tonight!

    I did one of those calanders for my sister once and she absolutely loved it - you could put everyone's birthday dates etc in as well.

    I just iron what I want as I need it, I could never stand their doing a massive pile, way too depressing!
