    Hellooo everyone - I was starting to wonder why everyone was posting percentages of tightness lol (going to go do it next). :D

    Hope you all have a lovely christmas and manage to chillax and not spend too much.

    My list is pretty similar to yours Jwil - want to crack on with that challenge next year. :D The best part for me is that I can wake up at 7 am now instead of 5:30 - going to be bliss for a whole 10 days :j

    Hope you have a lovely Christmas too Lam, it is lovely not *having* to get up early (even if I still did :rotfl:)

    I got :
    You are 35% tight
    "You're a little loose with your cash, a bit of belt tightening wouldn't hurt."

    Probably why I am in debt :o:D

    Yep, me too :o

  • After reading everyones results i did the test too and got:
    You are 52% tight
    "You're frugal, you're thrifty, but on this site that's a little bit fab."

    :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    Currently trying to get the washing and drying all done and finished - might do that last bit of wrapping then whilst thats going on and do the last few cards too ;) - just need to drag myself off here first :o

    See DDFW, you are obviously just perfect with your score :D

    The survey site is Harris Poll.

    Clean house and try and tidy back lots of stuff - started - hoovered, washed some dishes, done the washing and got some of it dried.
    Get some more stuff sorted for ebay
    Read lots of books to declutter and put out for sale
    Catch up with Fringe
    [STRIKE]Watch Bag of Bones miniseries[/STRIKE]:D
    Do some exercise
    Maybe paint kitchen (unlikely but want to do)
    Do next OU assignment and look out books for next course.
    Start rug kit
    [STRIKE]Wrap presents[/STRIKE]
    Clean cooker :eek::eek::eek:

    I've had a reasonably relaxed day today, enjoyed Bag of Bones (It's a Stephen King book made into a miniseries in the USA) and have wrapped all of my gifts. :j :T

    DH phoned me this morning and said 'I've moved some stuff from the floor so you can hoover'. :rotfl: One day we might get to the stage where he phones me up and says 'I've moved some stuff from the floor so *I* can hoover' :rolleyes: :rotfl:

    We went to the local farm shop and got our joint today so that's the main stuff done now. We are going out later to try and get the last few bits, but that's normal shopping stuff rather than Xmas stuff.

    Well we've finished the shopping now, and after visits to 3 different supermarkets have not been able to get oven cleaner - darn what a shame :rotfl:

    I could do it the hard way, but I'll see what I feel like tomorrow.

    Shattered today, but had a nice lie in.

    Bedding is in the wash, and now want to try and tidy up a bit more.

    I've sold a book on amazon so that's another thing gone :)
