Morning All!

Not long to go now!! UNTIL IT IS ALL OVER!! Christmas I mean!! lol

I know, it's not very festive of me... but I just can't find the Christmas spirit - I have even tried looking at the bottom of a couple of wine bottles!!

Well, I have my vouchers from work and we are formulating a plan on what to buy from where! Some bits will still need to be bought online - but I am gearing OH with the benefits of Q.co etc (he doesn't really seem to grasp how it works!!)

Q.co money arrived in my account this morning, that has been moved across to sit in an account that I earn no interest on. lol - A project for my time off over crimbo (as OH is at work on all the non bank holiday days) is to further streamline my accounts and make any money I have work for me!!)

Right, I am off to plough through some work - we are still sooo busy, it is unreal... although good for business!!

Laters! xxx

Are you ok Nat? You haven't posted for a few days, which is unusual.


I found your diary last week and have been catching up, and cheering you on from lurkdom.


You're doing so well, don't get disheartened.

Hi Satchmo1,

A new reader!! I tend to forget that people read and don't post (just like I do!)

Well, the weekend was a shopping success - OH recovered from a serious bout of 'Christmas shopping grumps' on Sunday and we got loads done... and then yesterday I had a more chilled shopping experience all on my own. OH thinks we should have a definitive list and buy what is on it... and only what is on it. Now, I like a list (and a spreadsheet!!) but realise that present shopping needs to be more organic and you have to have a little browse to generate more ideas!! lol

Right, for me for now.... this is it! Work is still strangely manic and there is sooo much to do!!

Hi Rags!

Reading and running is fine... I do it all the time! :O)

This is a type and run though.... sooo much to do at work! x

Reading is good, running takes energy I dont have at this time of year.
Work is manic here too, but I just hit the stage where I have so much to do that I dont know where to start ... So Im having a coffee break !

Adrenalin will kick in again soon

Very jealous!

I'm here too :hello: don't write often though..... just checked your signature out only 29 more weeks wow..... I remember when you were deciding whether to take him up on his kind offer and now it's nearly done_party_ what the heck are you going to do with an extra £400 quid a month???? I think I will actually be debt free by the end of Jan, I haven't updated my sig for ages and won't now as Crimbo spending makes it hard to know whats what. Enjoyed your company on this journey :kisses3:
I'm going to hit the shops tomorrow to try and finish my shopping went today but got distracted in cafe rouge by a glass of rouge

Enforced holiday is great in some ways... and not so great in others - this has taken up 6 days of my annual leave - but I am sooo ready for it!! :O)
