    Part of the Furniture 10,000 Posts Name Dropper Xmas Saver!
    Awwww, my mum popped in earlier, bought a wee xmas stocking for kit, and 3 packs of casserole steak that she'd picked up from work - so that, along with the deconstructed turkey (incl 2 portions of marinading kebab using The Takeaway Secret recepie for OH) means our freezer is stuffed to bursting again.

    Am going to make a concerted effort now to meal plan and make the best of what we have. Should mean only needing to buy a few jars and fruit / veg as needed. New Year new challenge!

    NSD #26 for me :T
    YAY!!! well done Freeby :j:j:j
    Back to work today :( (but only for one day :))

    Have a great day everyone :D

    Hope your day back at work went OK :A
    :) Thanks all .... Maisie had a good night (was a bit worried as she'd really just settled when she went to DMs and it's a lot noisier here!) and not a squeak until I got up at 7am!:j

    Had a little walk (need to build my strength up so think it'll be several shorter ones at first:o) and .... she's flat out now with her head on my foot *sigh*:D

    Really pleased to hear Maisie's home rising, although the cats might view that somewhat differently:D

    Hopefully the walks will start to build up your strength slowly, but having her home is going to give you a boost anyway :D
    :) The time you enjoy wasting is not wasted time :)

    The front page is all updated again :T It looks fantastic.
    Considering the time of year, I think we have all done brilliantly this month and should celebrate with Igor's homemade sprout punch. Drinking that should keep us in the house for a good few days after :eek:

    NSD #27 for me yesterday :T

    I plan to spend a good part of the day today with my budgets etc for next year and get myself ready to smash a few more debts away :j That means spreadsheets :T:T:T:T Ohhhh I do love a spreadsheet - nearly as much as I love a list :)

    Have a great day everyone :D

    Woo Hoo! 11 NSD's AND 3 in a row finally made it with just one to go to hit target.
    Did buy DH's car tax & did the Buildings & Contents insurance but as that was already budgeted for I'm not counting it :D
