Hope ou are feeling a bit better after the rest - the lack of sleep and the busy days can easily catch up on you. Well done on the Christmas shopping - it must feel nice to know a good part of it is done!

Well done on all that present shopping ... I'm still in denial about chrimstas & unsealed my pot for CC repayment, which of course now wish I hadn't ! Hope you manage to get some sleep tonight

Christmas ... I don't have nearly as much as you to do, but I haven't done a single, solitary thing. Hope you're doing okay.

Morning everyone....got up at 3am as had had enough sleep since being asleep from about 7pm last night...lol
yesterday I popped to tesco with vouchers that I'd found on the tesco site that I hadn't used...£27.50 worth so not to be sniffed at with the intention of doubling up.I had a good look around the store but found nothing I wanted/liked/needed and came away empty handed...so may just do the unthinkable and get some shopping with them.I had a look at their rewards catalogue but nothing there either.One of my vouchers needs using by end of November.

Have cooked tonights tea since I've been up and waiting until DH and DD are both up before doing the hoovering,putting washing on (noisy jobs..lol)
Will pop to Tesco later I think and get shopping with vouchers and may pop to town for a look around...want some nice new pots and new cutlery but didn't like the ones I saw in Tesco ..think M&S had some nice ones

HI TAXI

I've not been around for a while and got a lovely surprise to see you about again with a great new diary - I've thought of you often

It sounds as if you are getting Christmas well and truly sorted - HOW did it creep up so quickly - I'm reasonably organised but it's the expensive close family pressies I've no idea WHAT to get this year - I'm ok with everything else.

I wouldn't worry too much about the weight loss zone - I'd like to bet there is NO WAY you would put the weight you have lost back on - you'd soon realise when it begins to creep back and get back on track - just as you are now's. Keep at it - what is they say - it takes a long time to put it on so will take time to get off too.

Sounds like you are managing to be much more active too - YAY to TAXI

ended up spending the vouchers just on food in tesco..so shopping only cost 91p..I found the quality of meat has seriously declined in Mr Ts since I was last in there shopping and now remember why I don't shop at Mr Ts anymore...lol
didn't end up going to town and think I will wait for sales to get new dinner sets and cutlery.

Little Charlottes 2nd birthday today so will be going there at tea time for tea party and take her pressies

Definitely wait till the sales for stuff like that Taxi, you're right.

I don't shop at MrT any more because there isn't a big one easily near me, without a car - there's an Express, but that would be ridiculous, so I just use Iceland and Sainsbo regularly, then stock up at Aldi, Lidl, Asda or Waitrose as I see them

Had a lovely couple of hours yesterday with all 3 grandchildren..it was lovely seeing all 3 together in the same place.Charlotte loved opening all her pressies which was lovely as being 2 I think this is the 1st time she realises what's happening...lol...
I fed junior as well ..he's grown so much since I saw him the other week and JJ was great with his 2 little cousins ..it was lovely watching them all.

KC....We have every supermarket going here except Waitrose and I have a Aldi and Lidl 5 mins walk away from the house.I tend to use Aldi most of the time and find them to be better quality and cheaper than the others.
