    Wow...! :eek:
    I know :eek:

    I really must curb my Whoopsie addiction during 2011 :o


    Still, at least it's been a lot cheaper than all the clothes, shoes, books, mags, CDs, DVD and ornaments I used to 'nip out' to buy in my lunch breaks when I actually used to think I had money in the bank ;)

    Well today was a spendy day although I did very well out of it!! My lovely parents gave me a savings card worth £50!!! Decided to nip into Mr T for a phone top up as I was down to pennies and now have £40 of credit costing me a much more sensible £7 :D

    Also popped into b00ts for some n1ght nurse in the hope that I might actually get some sleep tonight and a couple of lip balms to aid my poor cracked lips :rotfl:

    So much for my 6 in a row at the start of the month but seeing as I have the unexpected money I will prob have another spendy day on Monday (hopefully not tomorrow though)

    Just have a wee think about how many you want to have.
    Dont aim too high in your first month as you dont want to put yourself off.
    Think about what you are going to include & what you are not going to include.
    Good luck!

    No much cinnamon smell around or Father Christmases in the alley but had a very good time. Found quite a few interesting bits for my Christmas hampers within the budget (chocolate wine, chocolates but I am keeping the ones dipped in Sauternes). Tasted lots of very interesting drinks. Got really excited when I saw the Ph1ll1ps hot air fr1er (was really interested in it but at £200 was thinking of collecting all my vouchers for a while and then get one), .... well what a disappointment to taste the chips. We don't do many at home and buy the chunky ones for the oven, we'll carry on doing this and spend the money on something else.

    Hoping for an NSD today, need to go out to pick up items on behalf of family thus no spend for me; will confirm later.

    Jinty happy to read about your neighbour

    No snow left :j

    I was going to go to the Taste of Xmas today but decided to go tomorrow. Any suggestions for things to must see or get?


    Got my free scarf from the Telegraph offer this morning, very nice it is too. Also got the free Waitrose choccies as both stores are at Canary Wharf. Spent a tenner in Waitrose though as I got free parking if I spent a tenner (saved me £3.50) and I needed some sausages and a pair of kitchen scales. So definitely not a nsd but a well spent day I think.
