    What a lovely gift from Mr T, it will really get you both in the Christmas spirit. White Christmas is our compulsory Christmas Eve movie snuggled up in new Christmas pjs with a big tub of chocs.

    This Christmas Eve night I am working so am not even going to count how many days are left until then!
  • I am also getting the 'snap' attacks with posts etc too. :( Highly irritating.

    Thats a lovely present - we (well, I) really want to go and see that before christmas this year - we saw the billboards last time we were down and although technically the next time we visit it is OH's turn to choose what we see, I might smile sweetly and let him have the the next two choices afterwards instead! :D

    Our film of choice is usually What a wonderful life, I had never seen it until we got together and now I look forward to it every year. We are working on Xmas eve this year but when we finish I love to go home, lock the door, get the (electric) fire on with some hot choc and cuddle up on the sofa. Heaven!! :j
    Simplify and then Simplify some more!
  • Evening, all financials are 100% bang up to date :j:j:j

    Shopping came to £6.42 :T

    Thank goodness it's all done.

  • Morning, it was a big help to finish all the financial stuff last night and we can see money has been leaking.

    Plans for rest of November - buy fruit, veg, milk and cleaning products only and live out of freezer and larder. That's what we filled the freezer up for :)

    Clothing budget - a couple of new items required for Mr T, jeans for DS. None of us impulse buy thank goodness.

    That's all for now.

    Morning, my diary is three years old :) today.

    Looking back those three years have flown. However so has the mortgage :)

    I've Tilly Tidied 3p to MOS
    PC £3 reclaimed
    £10.67 tracked and £60.16 pending with TCB
    3 hotel nights available from H@tels.com

    Work is a madhouse and it's definitely an odd spectator sport.

    Mr T has set off early this morning but returns tomorrow. DS is out tonight and I have the joys of finishing the ironing. I'm also adding all the birthdays and anniversaries to a family online diary, with reminders to write/post.

    I'd better crack on I need to make a second cuppa :)

    A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort
