    Not sure dragon...elvis was in the building (they made sure!) so suspect they will argus not! I suggested having a meal or sommat in Jan to make up for it but we shall see!
    Major goings on in the ISOM household...telly packed up (picture but no sound) so ventured out to get a new one (cant miss strictly can we!) which is my Christmas present from mum (she couldnt think of sommat else so think she was chuffed!); major shenanigins getting out as had to dig the car out with teh help of neighbors shovel...went very carefully to local shop; got tv and food and came home; plugged in and...sound didnt work! Turns out the ntl signal was out. I was ok to take it back but mum wanted to keep it - its much smaller and with us being cramped does make a difference plus piccy is lovely and clear!
    Rest of teh day will be spent snoozing, wrapping and chilling! Hope you are all ok and safe, whereever you are!

    evening all! Well am getting there! Felt a shopping urge today (for a bearded dragon of all things!). Did some research, went to shop and had a looksee and came away empty handed! Got the excitement of shopping without spending a penny plus got to say ho to a very so-ugly-its-cute beardy! In the old days would have left the shop with it all but weighed it all up and decided no! chuffed on that at least!
    Also just applied for a virgin 0% card. Not sure if Ill get it as already have a card with them but have a cunning plan to get rid of the lot by chucking all extra money at the cards from jan and knuckling down regardless of whether they give it to me. Had a relatively frugal Christmas. Pressies for under 200 and made or have gifted babysitting for a few!
    Looking into fitness solutions for Jan. One is ballroom but we shall see on that one - will have a bash and see! Second is (dont laugh!) synchronised swimming!! Main reason is that you have to be fairly fit so something real to aim for plus I love swimming! If I cant do that yet will use a freebie swimplan to get going and will see if I can rope any friends in! I get 1/2 price excercise on the gp referral so that will help!
    Right pooped I am so off to bed I go! Merangue cooling in the oven, pressies wrapped (bar 1...always forget one dont you eh!) and a cunning plan afoot!
