    Tried to go to work today but they apparently don't want my lurgy so I'm off sick for the rest of the week. Went into Mr B and bought a few bits and pieces (mostly stocking fillers) that my Mum normally buys, but she doesn't have the money. Spent about £23 as went for offers and cheapy things :)

    Ooh we might be having a xmas baby. My sister fell up the stairs on Tuesday and has been having contractions ever since. She was 10mins apart yesterday and 4mins apart now. She's 34 weeks though, so still a bit early but still should be ok. Fingers crossed.

    Really impressed with all the debt busting everyone's doing, congratulations massive pats on backs :)

    Thats a new method I'd never heard of before! One to add to the list of Rasberry tea and currys. Are the midwives all happy with progress?

    The good angel perched on my shoulder says pay the debt. The bad one says take the £15 and spend it as a reward of your hard earned saving and all the effort into your swag bag! I really need to understand this swagbag thing.

    And thats just really no help is it!

    Yes please! i.e. what on earth is it.

    Ps as a result of my good overpaying treated by little boy to a treat from the fish shop of £20.00 came home with 7 new fish and now have bloodworms in the freezer! Attractive
