    *sigh* - I've never really been able to get "into" blogs IYKWIM :o

    but

    I'm going to say that I've obviously been looking at the wrong ones as yours looks really interesting!:)

    Honestly, not just saying that ..... really like the pics & the meal plans:) - maybe I've just been reading the wrong ones :o (& it's prob at least a year since I've even looked at one!).

    So .... when I have my mid-cuppa tomorrow (usually caught up with all the diaries I follow by this time:eek:), I'm going to sit and have a read through .....

    And I can answer (partly) one question ..... December for me is just spent waiting for January to come:o. Maybe because I'm not really into Xmas (understatement!), I really just want to write it off and start the New Year with all the lovely new budgets / challenges etc etc:)

    Of course - if I had actually managed to stick to the budgets / challenges that I'd started the previous NY, maybe I wouldn't be as keen to forget about them & start again!:rotfl::o

    I might just have to start my "To do in 2013" list tomorrow:eek::rotfl:

    I love being with family, but I find it a bit stressful too. Mainly because my DM is never happy with me, ever. Sigh.

    Morning! :hello: well the drive to work today was less stressful than it's been so far this week :rotfl: as there were no puddles/ponds to drive through! I like Wednesdays too, so I feel it's going to be a good day :) How are you?
