    Yes, life is still good - and I am loving it! Tomorrow I am being taken out for the afternoon, which I am very much looking forward to. But of course I had to go and buy a dress, shoes and new underwear (white dress, needs immaculate white undies) for the occasion :rotfl:

    Moneywise, all is well - it is bonus day tomorrow, and for the first time, it doesn't need to go towards debt. It has all been allocated - driving lessons for DD have been booked, DS needed new skis etc, but it is all nice things rather than chucking at an egg loan or a credit card. I did upgrade my phone today, and bought a camera for Rome too, so it is not all being spent on stuff for the kids, although even if it was, I would still count that as a huge success.

    So, about to apply another coat of paint to my toenails, and grab an earlyish night. Hope you have had a good weekend, and have a good week ahead of you x

    Hypno, a white dress needs skin coloured undies, white will still be quite visible. Sorry for the unsolicited advice!

    Top advice like that is always solicited. Else Hypno will be getting a reputation for a different type of legal brief! :rotfl:

    Its ok, underwear has been properly checked and tested. :D

    Bonus is in the bank - very nice to see a decent balance there.....as I say, it won't be there for long but at least this year it is being used for the sort of things that I would LIKE to spend my money on, rather than the survival requirements of the past!

    Happy Monday :cool:

    I'm glad you can now *do* things with your bonus - and all your money, in fact - rather than just survive.

    Happy bonus Monday to you, Hypno! :beer:

    It is just real life, flipp - nothing more than anyone else does :)

    So, 12 months tax on the car sorted.....one less thing to think about for the next year or so!
