    Money

    PAD/Spends - £59.75
    Entertainment - £44.70
    Groceries - £21.64 *eek*
    ISA Savings - £336.10
    VSP - £78.11
    Purse - £11

    In some excellent news, we've also had a bit of a windfall. Mr Fresian's dad has given us an awesome cheque for Christmas (four figures *eek*) We haven't talked about what we're going to do with it, but it will be enough to pay off his debts which is brilliant news. I still can't quite believe it, nice things don't happen to us that often :D

    NSD today too, just off to polish my halo :A

    Enough for *whisper it* a week away. Possibly even abroad.

    Honest to God, it was a moment when saying "Thank you" was nowhere near enough.

    As I can't get the Nano from Mama Fresian to work, I'd be interested depending on how old it is and what the storage is....

    I'll ask him, then PM you FF.
