Oh no smokies so sorry to hear that.... And I was popping on to say wow what a week I've had however hearing your news my week's not been so bad really just extremely busy.
Sorry for not being around so much. It's hubby's birthday early next week, and I've been freaking about pressies however at the beginning of this week I had a brain wave and have been so consumed with it I have completely lost track this week, although I'm def green as have budgets for Xmas and bday presents.
My plan with hubby is to get him 40 presents. (It's his 40th) some very cheap and novelty some more expensive. He's having a party tomorrow so will get a couple then including his 'big' present then I will put the rest in a big Xmas bag and he can pick one each day up to Xmas then he can have the rest for Xmas, so a combined bday/ Xmas.
Will set up next weeks thread whenever I can over the next day or two as we have a busy, busy weekend.
Oh and now I'm down to SMP I'm so skint, so really need to watch my budget and spends.SPC 18 Target £200 /0 -
