Work was horrible today
I'd say roll on Friday lunchtime... but I already know that I'm going to have to work from home over the holidays:(
And that Q1 2014 is going to be worse...:(:(

De-lurking to say hope it's all a bit brighter soon! And just 'cos you know you're going to have to work from home in the holidays doesn't mean you should spend all the holiday working - take some time out for you (and your feathered ladies)! Big hugs.Stash busting 2014 45 / 60 (balls of yarn)!

That's an amazing amount of nectar points. I can never get past a fiver without using them.
I am in the Tesco christmas club thing where you only get them once a year so I manage to save them up for the double up offers for Christmas.
I will be joining you in a very frugal January.
I am an avid Radio 4 listener and have been for 20 years.:o I am 'only' 43 and definatley not a fuddy duddy.;)
I hope you get lots of your work sorted and have lots of free time over your Christmas break.Save £10,500 - £2673.77 - 25.5%
Pay off £7000 - £1743 - 19.4%

Is your frugal January a challenge MWC, or just common sense?

It's a personal challenge Ed - live out of larder/fridge/freezer, use points/vouchers for any shopping + a small amount of cash e.g. £10/week Mortgage at highest (April 2008): ~£195,000
