    Here I am trying to catch up to find you all as mad as a box of frogs. Top of my Christmas list now is a F&B paint swatch just so I can keep up with the cool kids :D

    Please do order one. I'm hoping when you all get fed up of them you will send to me and I can do a patchwork wall :D.
    A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort

  • TYO - your grocery challenge is where mine is going. If I stick to it, we'll be on bread and jam for christmas at this rate. Have stopped putting it on my signature as its embarrassing... must do better... must do better...

    Hey Natty Noo Naa - hope all is well and that there hasn't been too much spending going on in my absence?

    HDK - I think we are similar with our supermarket spends, I promise I try hard, but we still end up around the £500 mark every month. Disappointing, must try harder!
  • I've been absent for a few days too Lula... glad I stayed away from this thread of temptation and little resistance!

    I don't appear to have posted since Tuesday, so for anyone who's interested (or looking for a snoozefest), my week has gone thus;

    Wednesday - IKEA. I only ended up spending a small amount of money, mind you had a certain dining table been in stock, I would have ended up spending in the region of £550:eek::eek::eek:

    Friday - A lovely wee I-pad mini was waiting for me on my return home from work (a belated b/day present from my kids) It's just great - I have rediscovered my love of (free!!) apps and amongst others have downloaded a 'spending' one. I won't commence using this until pay day however - even though I am currently keeping my eyes tightly closed and my 'lalalalala' fingers are firmly in both ears regarding Christmas through to the end of January....... notoriously a difficult time, but for some reason (errmm...not helped by snow boots/shower/jacket/gloves spends) I think January will be tighter than the proverbial for me. So, roll on February:D

    Saturday - Not a good day, I was due to attend a house party however felt fat, frumpy and generally meh - although I do think I'm closer to my diet/exercise wake up call than I've ever been in the past)

    Today - I took the pooch out for a long walk this morning, although cold, the sun was shining and my world felt better for it:)
    I did pretty much spend the rest of the day just lazing around however:o

    Hope everyone has had a lovely weekend X
    February13 - £74990 (or thereabouts)
    MND - Let's go for 2020 'cos it's got a nice ring to it:D
    C'mon nattypants:cool:

    Hey - congrats on the iPad mini, how are you finding it?

    I was going to keep stum, but since we are spending twins, I can confess now.... I might have come home with one from my trip to London the week before last (business tool so bought through company just before ed and gg pop by).

    Did you end up going to the house party or stay at home feeling meh? Hugs x
