    It's the holidays :j :j

    Oh my goodness, I cannot tell you how good it feels to be on holiday and know that I'm not going to work tomorrow (sorry to anyone that is though) and I can take my time wrapping up the presents and sorting out those final bits before the big day.

    I have kept a tight reign on our finances in December, and, as I get paid tomorrow, I'm hoping to save quite a large sum this month. November was not the best in terms of finances (we didn't save anything!) so I'm trying to make it a bit better for the end of year update. I've been looking at my 2014 aims, and although I haven't met some of them, I haven't done too badly overall :)

    2015 brings us some new challenges, but I'm looking forward to seeing what the next year brings :)

    We're spending Christmas with my parents, and then Boxing Day with DH's parents, so it'll be a lovely family affair :) I'm looking forward to it so much; I'm not particularly bothered about presents really, I just like spending time with those closest to us. In a somewhat reflective statement, we don't spend enough time with those who are important to us, and this time of year really highlights that.
