    Can I just point out they are xmas jumpers and not nice:p!

    How about making your own...snowglobe_zps19917a5d.jpg

    If she'd filled that bag with polystyrene balls and bounced a lot, she'd have looked like a snow globe...

    Sorry if I offended anyone with my hatred of Christmas jumpers - it's just so many folk have told me they are buying one for either the big day or another event and I know they will only wear it to this occasion just seems so wasteful. On the other hand the lady I volunteer with has been wearing hers since November:D

    Well decs are up now and made wreaths with LM last night while drinking mulled wine which was fun:) Off to the city again today to meet friends for lunch so glad the flat is tidy as I'm working all weekend again. Next week I shall concentrate on finishing (and starting) the Christmas shopping:o as well as studying as my exams are in January....

    Fun day at work as it was very busy and customers were all happy, also have done the ironing now so DS can go back to school on Monday:o

    Working again tomorrow and have seriously blown the shopping budget this week so trying to recoup now, think I just need some potatoes and we'll be fine unless DS has a huge list for cookery class...

    Chance of a few extra shifts for January so all good:D

    Think I've worked out how much I need to pay to end the year in the 41Ks so shall pay that tomorrow when some money comes in:D

    Hope boss is impressed by my sales today - someone wanted to buy something today and had previously tried to haggle me down on something else so I told him a really high price and expecting him to haggle down a fair bit but he just said ok...was a good quality item but still...

    Still have sniffly cold so no running, hopefully might get back to it next week.
