    - 4am easily, if I get into something I just want to keep at it :o

    :eek: What time would you get up the next day then ??? I'm usually in bed by 10pm, 10.30pm at the latest. If i go to bed any later than 11pm then I am a right grump the next day. On a work day, I typically get up at 5.45 ish and on a non work day get up around 7 / 8am thanks to furry alarm clock :rotfl:
    :D

    what do u think? bills? (which i am paying off slowly but surely) or holiday ...... or cross stitch stuff :P (back on topic)

    Holiday :j

    ps - I haven't managed much stitching today so might try to get some in before bed. I went with the xmas roo project.

    To answer my own questions, my favourite roast is lamb followed by beef. Yorkshires of course (Whatever meat you have), nice selection of veg and lovely roast tatties, not forgetting gravy. Can't beat apple pie or apple crumble and custard to follow although that isn't my favourite pudd probably lemon meringue pie but that doesn't really go with/follow a roast ?

    I don't tend to stay up too late with my stitching as I get very tired. I love the weekends but like most weekends, find myself distracted with other things so don't get the stitching time in I would like. Have a commute of about 45 mins each way to the office and try to get some in here - also been stitching this last week in my lunch hour.:j

    its called 12 x 5 by the rolling stones
    its their second albulm and its incredibly underated.
    I'm putting like 10 LPs up a week so i dont over whelm my self. This week they've gone for £180ish altogether and i have another 70ish records to shift :eek:
    Im getting to keep the money. I know i should use it to pay off debt and stuff. But i havent been on holiday in YEARS and my Father In Lw to be lives in menorca, oh hasnt seen him in 4 years and I think i should meet him before, ya know, I end up with a new last name!

    if I was you (and lol look at mrs debt speaking). I would pay the money off cc's the put the holiday on the cards (if that makes sense). give u a couple of months of a marginly lower interest on the cards.
    loves how my "I've been censored" signature has been censored. LOL. Happy Christmas. :xmastree:
  • Thing is as of next week I should be on 0 interest on the cards anyway. (its complicated) but will still owe a fair bit.
    I think I will split it into holiday/bills (dunno what split tho :P )
    I'm very happy bunny.... oh no i just looked t the chart for my autumn fairy, good mood is being combated by feeling of being overwhelmed.
    I Love My Library....when I finish/don't like a book, no one gets upset when I return it!
    Starting 210
    7lbs this month = 5.5
    Total loss = 5.5
    Too many UFOs to count
    :EasterBun

    Ooooh, well done PP - I'd pay off the debts to be honest, but Chicky's idea sounds good though.

    My favourite drinks are cider and blackcurrant (for an alcoholic drink), Coke (full fat) or apple and blackcurrant cordial or tea.

    We don't have a Sunday roast dinner, usually a sandwich and tonight I've had the remains of a curry I had last night.

    Chicky, your sig says your Mum's pressie is going to be Troutbeck - is that Troutbeck in the Lakes?
