Seconded by me beanie.

Actually BDINI you're a treasure as well as a star xx:A

Hope your neck is calming down?

And any news on the tenant, keeping my fingers crossed all is well.

Awww thanks Spoon, you're a star & a treasure too!!

Neck fine now thanks (note to self, run the other way from fights at work!!)

Tenant is a little treasure (so far), slightly miffed at the fact that the loft insulation guys i sent round refused to do her loft as the house has asbestos :eek:, but i will worry about that in the new year, i'm sure there will be an easy solution

Happy Christmas hun, hope you have a fab one!!

Thank you:D a bit ridiculous being so happy but it has been pretty awful without one.

It's the first (biggish) thing I can remember buying since I got into debt (around 20 years ago when I left home:o) that I've actually managed to pay for without getting into more debt.:)

Even though it's wiped me out totally (budgeting skills still need a lot of work), it's quite satisfying as I'm not worrying about where the money's going to come from to pay for it..... and I think I actually appreciate it more as I've paid for it with "real money" rather than just sticking it on the end of a huge cc balance - if that makes any sort of sense!:o

Makes total sense Rising, & you should rightly feel proud of yourself for having saved enough to do it!!

So currently looking for a freezer.
To think in days gone by all I worried about was whether they matched :eek: :rotfl:

:rotfl:That's would've been me too Beanie ..... funny to think back to how stupid I was but not so funny at all the money I wasted!:o

NSD No 9 today. Probably won't be tomorrow, going out with DGS to help him do a bit of shopping.
Happy new fridge Rising, don't let it go hungry. :rotfl::rotfl:
Huge hugs to all who've been ill, hope you all have a good Christmas.

LittleMissHappy_2

No NSD today as went to Mr T for some last minute bits (I'm sure I'll be in there tomorrow for last 'second' bits!) but xmas day and boxing day will be NSD's definitely so by 27th I will have reached my target (counting my chicks a bit here!).

I'm going to be busy all day tomorrow, xmas day and boxing day so if I don't get on here I hope all you lovely NSD'ers have a gorgeous, festive, wonderful xmas :D:D:D:D:D:D:D

Great news about your new fridge freezer rising
Congrats on being an Aunt again wannabe
jaffacakegal that is a lovely friend you have and a lovely work colleague too!

A quick scoot by to announce nsd9 yesterday. Well got milk but that doesn't count. Thursday was thwarted for needing to get work boots. Not happy about that as I think they should supply them, but hey these big huge profit making companies aren't going to be spending any of their millions of £££ profit making sure their staff have the necessary protective clothing to do their job. :mad: OK, rant over, it's Christmas Eve, boys are watching Ice Age from yesterday, DH is home for 10 days (minus 1 day in the middle that work are stealing him for), so time to enjoy it. DS1 has chosen our Christmas Eve dinner - kebab & chips!!! so we'll be spending today but tomorrow should be an nsd (can't afford to be looking at the sales tomorrow evening).

:xmastree:Have a great Christmas everybody.:xmastree:

Aint that the truth, Beanie! Me too!
Hope you and Fresian manage to get the freezer sorted, then you can relax and chill out ( Ouch, apologies for the Christmas cracker style joke!:o) Rising, enjoy your fridge and your post made total sense to me too BTW.

So, NSD gang, let's crack open the bubbly, pull a cracker, stick Slade on the gramophone and who's brought the cheesy pineapples?

I'm in! Twiglet anyone?
