    Hope you're feeling better today Froggy. Was going to send you a dodgy hug but don't want to catch anything so will send you one of these instead :beer:.
    A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort

    Morning all

    Seems to have disappeared again..

    It took almost a week to recover from that nasty bug :o Lots of people off sick at work.. but now on the mend and feeling more alive..

    We have had our work xmas do.. It was good fun, especially the dodgems :D:D Fatal error from my bosses to go on the dodgems when i was there.. There were many bruises afterwards, including some for me.. All in all, a good night for all, and not a penny spent :money:

    I am off to see Elvis in a bit as he is on his own, as my ex is in Budapest till next week..

    Then, probably need to make a start on the xmas wrapping (lots of swearing :mad:) and cards writing, whilst watching the Manchester derby..

    I seem to be doing quite well on my food budget at the moment and have not had any takeaway splurge in a while.. Long may it continue..

    I am also planning a trip to France, probably in June to go and see my new nephew/niece.. Need to plan how to save for that one..

    How is everybody?

    Cheers
    Froggy :cool:

    Sold a few items in the last few days netting EUR 70 and got confirmation that a refund of EUR 50 will be sent back to me from the holiday company..

    Getting paid on the 14th, a week early, but will move my wages across to savings for a week..so no temptations there..

    I need to reach £3600 by 10th March 2013 to fulfil my FD savings...
