:wave: I'm still here, just not much to report

Mortgage OP's about £4.69

Next months credit card bill about £700

Think I have forgotten the MSE way

Bathroom blinds were fitted today, as well as some for a bedroom and the downstairs toilet so now feel able to put the light on when I use the toilet downstairs (if I remember to shut them)

Had the god-children over for 2 days (feels like a week and make's you appreciate silence)

So we have had a fake Christmas with dinner, crackers (highly recommend the racing sprouts crackers as you each get a wind up sprout to race with). Played a Christmas quiz with mini games such as musical snowman statues. Played a game, yet again highly recommend Rapidough, just wish I had taken pictures of some of the models. Played charades, had hysterics at BF attempting to mine Gollum. Played on the Wii , Watched a DVD and just had a fab time with lots of laughing. I actually cried real tears from laughing so much

So early night (BF had left to do the Christmas food/drink shop) to get ready for the real Christmas as this one is with both sets of parents, it wont be as much fun

Thanks Tilly, never thought of it like that, have also caused trouble as the 7 year old didn't want to go home, think it was the crafting afternoon that did it

Plus why are you up so early are you cooking ostrich for Christmas dinner and had to get it in the oven

Happy Boxing Day Radish - Christmas in the 'big house' must have been ace:D X

Vegging out on the sofa whilst BF watches a DVD he got in the sales

Lots of money been spent over the festive period, car tax, food, presents, two huge bean bags, Christmas present bought in the sales for each other. Have had more delivery after Christmas then before

Completed a rough budget for the New Year as we have gone a bit mad over the last few months buying stuff (nearly all needed)

Christmas was interesting, my parents turned up an hour earlier on Christmas eve then they said and then my mum then promptly wanted to clean everything in site. BF parents turned up an hour before dinner was going to be served on Christmas day bringing their stinky dog with them and then sat on their bums for the the whole time they where here. They even stayed for Boxing day dinner (which we hadn't invited them to), then thankfully went home

I suppose I shouldn't have got so peeved with them doing nothing as they were guests but would it have been so hard for them to have made a brew for everyone or wash a few cups

So know just trying to gear myself up our New Years eve party with our friends, still have a bed to make up and the ironing pile is huge and then clean the house again

And then its back to work, BF not back till the 7th so I'm not bitter at all

Happy New Year _party__party__party_

Nearly half way through January already and pay day on Tuesday :j

Credit card bill crashed in at £1500 but all planned for and did have extras on it such a new blinds/big bean bags/Christmas

Halif@x money shuffle done and a direct debit changed so I don't lose the free fiver when the rules change later this year

As it's the start of a new year back to being a tight wad and watching where all the penny's go

But the best news is that BF has made me extra shelves in the cupboard that used to have the hot water tank in so I now have an airing cupboard. Just now need to sort out all the towels/bedding and decide what we are keeping and put them in there

Couple of Tilly tidies OP'ed to the mortgage about £12
