    Oh no @ cold!

    My OH has been feeling a bit rough for a while now and my mum and little one are both ill with it, I am hoping it will bypass me but knowing my luck it will hit me over xmas!

    And yes Champagne always gets rid of a cold in my book....or does it just make you forget you had one to start with? Not sure ;)

    Very happily married on 10th April 2013 :D

  • I agree Beccie, I'm on "holiday" from main job so being paid but HAVE to make it to job 2. Worried about the chefs as some live in the valleys so may have a rough time getting in as snow deep in Cardiff will be mental up there!

    Heavy snow this weekend!

    Meant plans for my friend's bday had to be re-arranged and invloved a few hours snow trekking but we ended up having a great night and I only spent £30 instead of the £100 plus I was expecting :D

    Money's still a bit tight though till I can pay wages in so £2 to the loan and £1 each to the o/d and Borneo :)

    yay to only spending £30, that's another £70 to go in one of the various pots.

    Yep, very glad to have been under budget :)

    Gonna hold on to the extra for a bit though, want to make sure I make it to the end of the month! If all goes according to plan then I should be able to make a nice large payment at the end of the month :D

    Well done Beccie - my night out tonight is now cancelled too, which is disappointing but fiscally probably for the best!

    That's a shame EB, but like you say, concentrate on the money saved :)

    Was very busy at the club last night, and I'd been so hopeful that the snow would keep people away!

    £79 sent to the loan today :)

    Nearly hit my payment target for this month - will be so happy if I do as with Xmas and stuff I worried that I wouldn't.
