    I would love to say I feel really refreshed, but really I don't. But that could be because I got up so much earlier today!

    But I'm just doing some money transfers and then will be sitting down and sticking to my budget this month. Although I am pleased the rugby is over as hopefully there will be less eating out now!

    Lol....I know exactly what you mean about the rugby Lucy...ha ha ha. Still, I'm off this week myself and am trying to get lots of work done. I have loads of reading to do and lots of lessons to prep...so I should crack on really.

    Still I'll try my best not to spend this week....although do have the hairdressers on Thursday and am going shopping with my mum....oophs!

    Sometimes treating yourself is good. I treated myself to a new look with some expensive makeup yesterday. I spent £30 but the stuff she used would have cost well over £200 and I get a free makeup lesson.

    I'm just very tried today, I guess it was a busy weekend. Still trying to catch up at work now is keeping me busy.

    Morning all.

    Well I lost 1 and a half pounds last night. I've booked my Christmas holiday today so will be going to OH's parent's for the week. Which should be good fun, although it will be the first time I've not spent Christmas with my mum.

    Loan payment went out yesterday and I did my money transfer today so will be really good for the next few days. So hoping for a NSD today.

    Although what to I get OH's parent's for Christmas?

    Lucy - perhaps have alook over on the christmas board? You could do a hamper for them? Find out what they are into and get some bargains- you've still go tplenty of time to get it sorted. I'm doing a steam train hamper for my dad, a bird feeding one for my mum (with a few extra bits), movie night in/pamper for my friend etc. The finished hampers thread gives sooo much inspiration!

    I'll have a look, if not I was going to go with some nice biccies and perhaps some sort of Christmas cake.

    I'm not a great cook or I would make my own.
