Ohh where did you all come from :rotfl: Lovely to see some old faces still using MSE, sorry I have been missing of late many a 12hour shift for me. Can't complain though because most of the extra hours are in my fun job.
Beanie,
Gem I never really stopped saving, but I did withdraw a chunk for Mum's xmas gift but it was planned. The differance being I didn't miss it, so it wasn't as if in November I lost £x pay from my wages, a lovely feeling.
Merry Christmas to everyone :xmassmile0 -
