    Sorry to hear you're a bit low Rog - is it anything we can help with?

    Thanks, Snag - it probably is just a 'man' thing - been working like mad this week - just tired and feel like I'm getting no-where. I just don't seem to be able to get into the 'Christmas Mood' - no real reason.

    Your not alone Rog I can't seem to manage it either, so much to do and to little time to do it in!

    PAP I agree with Snaggles, the head banging isn't very positive! 2008 needs to be positive!

    Right so if either of us get tempted to spend, we'll tell the other and that'll stop us. Think how good it'll be to have that big stash at the end of the year :D
