 Check banks
 Pay for the Peter Kay trip in Feb
 Light cleaning and tidying
 HC x 1 and dry on airers
 Baking - making some cake gifts and shortbread hopefully
 Meals from stores
 maybe some comps, lost interest latley
 surveys need to be done
 organise xmas pressies to be delivered / collected by people
 Try keep heating down
 Fit energy saving widget to DDs bedroom plug
 Recieved some lovely facecream in post to test , dont remember volunteering but it smells nice 
 Feels like a long list but am giving myself all weekend to do it and hopefully DD will help.

            Hi everyone :wave:
 Feel a bit more awake now 
 Littlekel and Candy - That's a shame your dos got cancelled. Will be something to look forward to in the New Year though. Last night's meal wasn't half as nice as last year (even though it was in the same place) and the band wasn't as good either, but everyone was still up for a good night in the end. And I only managed to spend £5.50 on a couple of drinks before we went to the do. Always good!
 Listypops:- Online shop - and got delivery slot for tomorrow
- Called mum with free wknd mins
- Lit a "candle for peace" - http://www.webshots.com/sp/peace_candle/ - you should give it a go  
- Going to write thank you cards
- Sending ecards (elf yourself) http://www.elfyourself.com/ - so funny and simple but effective and hilarious!
- More knitting
- TV night in
- Pennies have gone in the jar

            Due to weather the match was cancelled so couldnt go and earn my extra £30 - damn. Instead went to get dog food, got a smaller bag as going to try mixing it with canned meat, or left over fresh meat from dinner to make it go a little further as its so expensive.
 Stopped at a field that had a sign for selling logs and got 3 big bags for a tenner, which will last us till the new year at least. Means i can get the stove going, hide in the front room all evening and not have the heating on anywhere till 20 mins before bed. so that will save money.
 OH is still ill, so he is on soup which is a blessing so saved a bit on not having to cook a meal.
 Will hang washing up in front of stove when we go to bed tonight in order to dry, so will do wash later when cheaper.
 Determined tomorrow will be a NSD
 Going to sort my diary out tonigh of our bills, budget for Jan, food diary for Jan using whats in cupboard and freezer.
 Starting to feel so much better now I feel that I am facing these debts head on.MAY NSD's
