    I don't know PAP - I can imagine that once you are debt free then you maybe feel that you can spend more on peoples presents etc - I still do and I am not debt free yet. Its a hard one. Is there a reason why he doesn't work? If no proper reason then i personally would say no. I bought my brother loads of things and lent him loads of money after he just jacked his job in, he now has no intention of working so I don't buy him anymore - Christmas or birthdays.

    Personnally and this is just me, I think you deserve to spend the money on yourself and/or add to your savings. in my view £100 ish is enough money to spend on him though I know when you have got money you like to spend it on other people. Tough one PAP - just ask yourself, does he deserve it :confused:

    My eyes are drooping so I'm going to bed Superpap, have a sleep on it and see how you feel tomorrow, you might see things a little more clearly. Please don't get into debt (or head that way) to put a smile on somebodys face. Think of yourself xxxxx

    Glad to see the post office can deliver when you want them too.

    SuperPAP - all I can say about the present for your brother is that if you want to go ahead.. How much is the new thingy you want to buy for him.. Although you should spend your money on yourself - if it will give you pleasure to buy him one, as long as you get one at the best possible price I don't see why not?

    Missed your posting today too:o

    Well done Z!

    Since starting my 'diet' I am actually 3lbs heavier than when I started according to my weigh in this morning.

    Not sure I am cut out to diet, as soon as I think of dieting I become obsessed with food!!!:eek:

    Oh well

    Me too Keren, I'm sat inside, watching the rain, sneezing my head off. :mad:

    Did anyone else have thunder last night?

    I'm having a bit of a battle sticking to my diet this morning......I have already had 8 points :eek: (don't ask!).

    So I need to have a 2 point lunch (no problem really - ww soup 1.5 pts & slice of plain ww toast 0.5 pts)....but then I need to be really good all afternoon, otherwise I will end up eating lettuce for dinner.

    I blew the diet on Sunday and just barely stuck to it on Monday (thanks to a couple of exercise points), so I need to have a good day today. Will try and get out for a walk later, but Natasha still has a cold and the weather is rubbish.

    Have a good day everyone xxx
