    Waaaaayy too much money spent over the weekend. I went out today and got OH a couple of bits. I *think* I'm just about done now though thankfully. My spreadsheet keeps going up and down, I can't wait for all the money to settle.

    Managed 35p on Onepoll today, Dooyoo has seemed stable all day so going to attempt a review tonight (hope I haven't jinxed it now).

    We've also been very bad on takeaway and eating out over the weekend, so tonight it's thai curry, and I have planned for the next few days. I work better with a plan. it's just making one.

    It occured to me earlier that I know what I want in life and where I want to be, but only I can make that happen. Pep talk to myself over now.

    Can I have the pep talk too?
    We've had 2 birthdays this week with associated meals so spending up for us too. We did enjoy it though.

    They would be perfect for the bit at my house- don't think we have these shops down here though. Will search around over Christmas and see what I can find.

    I think Ikea would probably so cheap vases etc. I would have gone there, but bought these on impulse, but glad I did.


    Today was a NSD:j Feels like I haven't had one of those for ages.

    I'm sure I can find something appropriate and cheap round here! Does ikea deliver? I'll have to check out their web site

    Ikea do deliver but the delivery charges aren't worth it as they're really high (or they are to deliver here anyway)

    Thanks for that- if I can't find anything elsewhere I might have to brave ikea for the first time!

    Hello yukkibear and jelly and everyone else I don't know yet!
    I've only just realised you've got a new diary, been busy so not been on here so much, off to subscribe now though. Good luck with reducing your mortgage, finally we have done it - as of last month we are mortgage free, and it feels just great, time for saving now.
    Hope everyone is well.
