Decembers thread

Today someone asked me if I wanted to go to Starbucks, and I decided that team bonding was more important than sticking to no spending. So I mostly took my own lunch but also spent £3ish on a latte.

Morning all

So yesterday became personally debt free (they were joint debts I pay monthly) and today Mr Shortie pays his debt off - woo hoo! So to celebrate, my team have requested doughnuts, lol

The team usually get in Krispy Kremes to celebrate but asked me to bake instead so I might bake over the weekend for Monday, however.... We have a big system releaae today (actually.... 3) and earliest some of us are leaving is 10pm if all goes well. So, I'm putting aside up to £20 to spend in tescos this morning.

That's to cover 2 wraps (my lunch and then dinner) some then fruit, cereal bars and treats kike mini shortbread, mini flapjacks. I'm guessing cheaper than Krispy Kreme and I get something for lunch and dinner to boot

I did quickly make my bircher breakfast this morning though as I have the stuff in and it's yummy

Will move over to the new thread on Monday

I agree, team bonding is important

Congratulations Sedge... How lovely that it has all come together before Christmas...:j you can great yourselves with a clear conscience!!!

Glad your address feeling better wanttobeSE but sorry to hear about your son.

I managed to complete all 20 days this month although on one of the days I did buy crisps to supplement my lunch. I took leek and potato soup yesterday in my flash and that was nice. Today I had cheese tomato and plum chutney sandwich and a ridiculous number of snacks.

Off to the December thread now... see you in a mo!
