Morning all.
I've woken up really early this morning - before my children... Just watched 'It's a wonderful life' for the millionth time and still love to watch it. Elf later with my dd.
I've got high hopes for a nsd today. Here are my plans.
Visit a friend this morning for gossip and catch up.
Have already checked bank balance.
Housework, especially bathroom.
This afternoon my OH and DS are out at football so me and dd are planning some baking (using things that we already have in the house) followed by watching a Christmas dvd.
Have a fantastic day everyone...Ninja Saving Turtle0 -
Morning All,
Went out for the works Christmas do last night – great night….we all ate, drunk well and I was certainly very merry!
I had taken £20 out of the bank and only spent £4.45 on railfare and a coffee while I was waiting for the train home
However, I had sobered up when I realised that I didn’t know where the railway station was!!! Eventually found it and made my way home….hubby picked me up from the station so I didn’t have to worry about getting a cab home
Today I have
• Meals from stores
• Checked bank
• Read papers online
• Might have a napette this afternoon
• Need to put change from yesterday in my coke bottle
• Work on my dress for the other works Christmas do
• Will try for an NSD
• Go to the gym after 5 so parking is cheap – will convince hubby to pay
• Watch bits n bobs on the sky box rather than going out
• Get ready for the week ahead
• Early night as tired
Take care everyone

Just blitzed through my housework and did a load of cooking with dd while the boys are at football. Apparently they won so should be happy mood in the house when they get home. And I've cooked for 4 days next week, plus a rice pudding and a tray of flapjack.
All from ingredients all in the house.
And I turned the heating off whilst we were busy. It's just starting to get a bit chilly now.Ninja Saving Turtle0 -
Ive not used the dishwasher at all for 4 days now :j
Really, there is two of us in the house, it's not like there is that many dishes anyway lol
Also have had my first NSD of December today! :j Only managed it cos I literally haven't left the house today! Me and DH are still in our pj's haha!
