    £140 to the loan :)

    Now at 60% :j

    Hoping to hit target by the 20th Dec if I can. I will be on leave from then for a couple of weeks and although I will carry on earning as much extra as possible I may also take that as a 'holiday' from MSE as well. The same as I do at weekends as I don't come on here then. I don't then start spending or anything it's just nice sometimes not to make debt the main focus, if that's made sense to anyone at all! :D

    Weekend was lovely - lots of drinking on Saturday though for my friend's birthday :o Went to a brewery tour at 10:30 in the morning, then met a friend for coffee as we hadn't met his new little baby yet, then we went for lunch, more drinks back at my friends house, then out for dinner with more friends and then to the pub. Managed not to spend too much and I did win £10 in the pub on the cereal box game, amazed I managed to win at 1 in the morning after all that!

    Sunday I amazingly did not have a hangover! :j Took the dogs for a lovely long walk round the woods and then must admit I did have a little sleep on the sofa before dinner.

    I love weekends off!!! :rotfl:

    £78 to Barclays CC and £1.46 to savings :)

    Presents have come in at £94.65 out of the £100 budget I set myself, just need to start making some of them now.

    And I have borrowed a dress from a friend to wear to the first of our Xmas parties this Thursday so saved myself money there too :D

    Just had a call from Tescos - I emailed to complain that some pork they sent was not as well dated as they said it would be, they are refunding the £5.20 :D

    OH paid so refund is to him but I was still very pleased with the level of service :)

    (Didn't tell them that we had eaten 1/2 last night and frozen the other 1/2 already! ;))
