Morning, happy moving day Hypno !! :j :j

Last night I went through all my betting accounts and withdrew any balances so I can track the finances accurately before the new year. Unfortunately one of them was in euros and I have been treating it as pounds, so once it was withdrawn and reconverted it was actually about £30 less than I thought I had Hmm, will have to suck it up once the final figures are done :cool:

Today we're haveing a lazy morning then going to see Tigz and her daughter and doing some xmassy stuff with them

Have a good time with Tigz - drive carefully. Can I just say that I thought your post on Hypno's diary was really lovely.

Have a great time - not many advent days to go! What have you got planned for the last few?

Woohoo, Next sale order is done, only one item on my list was out of stock, and I added a few extra bits, so in total it came to £297 :eek: :eek: However, lots of this was two of the same thing but different sizes, so a fair chunk will be going back once I've tried it on

We've had a lovely day today, we went to see Tigz and her dd, and had a great time making xmas decs including holly wreaths and garlands I was rubbish at them but Tigz kindly made my wreath for me and it looks fab, definitely will do it again, wouldn't consider buying one anymore as they're easy to make, well, easy for Tigz anyway

Spends today = £2.50 on xmas activitiy, £4.50 on chips/drinks.

£2.94 tracked on quidco for the next order

It was fab to see you both, sorry didn't really get a chance to chat/catch up but hopefully we'll be able to do that soon

I've got my wreath up on my door, I reckon next year we'll go for a walk out in the forest and collect our own holly, that would be fab!

Still can't believe how small a world it is, if your Dad remembers any ghosty stories from his time at the house, I'd love to hear them. I remember my Nan telling me something about the cook and that's why there is a road called Cooks Lane... spooky!!

Hope your journey back was uneventful, glad you didn't have to drive back in the dark.

Tigz, we had a lovely time, and yep I agree about a holly hunt next year, it was one of the things I put in ds advent activities but we didn't get done because of the snow I will ask dad about the ghosts, am sure he will remember some, he loved that place

Ds and I have just blitzed the bathroom and the kitchen, dishwasher is on, washing machine is on, floors are cleaned and those rooms are finished :T Now we're off to tackle my room then the lounge. His room may need to wait a while longer

Benben, how is your dad doing? (And your mum of course).

benbenandme

He's okay thanks Dangers, still barking but no different to normal lol Mum is fine, think the weekend away earlier in the month did her good

We've been shopping and I think I'm now done :j :j I'm going to wrap eveyrthing this afternoon so will discover then if theres anything I've missed

I ended up spending about a tenner more than expected, but will sort out the finances later and see where we're at with it all.
