    Helloooooooooooooo DF by Xmasers :wave:

    party it dooooooooooooooone!!! wooo!! they were all a bit shy to begin with but a couple got glitter tattoos and face painted and then it was madness! They had stripped us of 85% of the prizes in 35 minutes :rotfl: so we sat them down for food for half hour the played musical statues, musical bumps (using a few of the prizes left) brought out the cake (lily cried :() and then anounced the winners of hunt the treasure and name the teddy, gave them cake and they went home :rotfl: :rotfl:

    Alot of the mums said that it was a good idea and their kid had had a great time :o am shattered now, and bless my mum, she cooked us all dinner afterwards so i didnt have too :) will crash and burn tomorrow but it was definitely worth it as Lily did have a nice time (well accept for the cake and being sung too :eek:)

    Total party cost, including hall hire, £72 and i still have prob £10 worth of food and sweets left :eek:

    Evening all

    I've been away for a week, but everyone seems to be doing really well.

    Well no new debt payments but working on it. Finally got my wife on board. We took lunch every day last week, if we do this all month that will be around £200 a month saving!!!!!!!!!!

    Also switched our gas and electric saving £25 per month. We've also stopped saving and diverting our monthly saving budget towards debt.

    That will be around £400 extra towards debt on top of our repayments.
    DEBT Total Dec 12 = £30029

    I think it was the fact everyone was staring at her, shes really shy around people she doesnt know so when all the mums and dads turned to sing to her she tried to hide and then started to cry :( the other kids were more than happy to blow the candles out though :rotfl::rotfl:
