Thank you everyone for your good wishes

I've had a lovely night tonight.
I came home and told Mr Fresian the good news. "We should celebrate with a Chinese" he said (cheeky sod!) This had been my plan too, so we trudged through the snow to the local one and got a wee takeaway - ate loads. Om nom nom!
I then decided that I was bored with sitting in the house complaining about the snow so went to see my friend. 15 minutes at the bus-stop reminded me that it's meant to be -8C tonight. Brrrr :snow_grin Still, a cup of tea warmed me up. We went and saw Unstoppable (Really silly film about a runaway train) which had much totty in it and we really good fun and I got to eat Ben and Jerrys too
All in all an excellent day, and a reminded that I can have more unplanned things now that I don't have to keep £128 a month for loan payments :j I'm going to keep being sensible though, and keep PADding, but next month's loan payment amount is for me to buy myself things in the sales - GUILT FREE
