I had not really thought, there are lots of things that I would like - I don't need anything though. Sofa is getting a bit threadbare on the arms, but I was just going to chuck a throw over it until I had enough £2 coin savings (did have to raid that for new TV though!). What are you saving for?
First off I want to get OH a Leatherman multi tool for Christmas (he is a Geek and wants the Titanium Wave!), that costs £125 so I have that one covered (woo hoo! :beer:), after that we have been talking about a trip to Japan so I want to save up for that! Oh and shift a load of weight as well :rotfl:Do not meddle in the affairs of Dragons, for thou art crunchy and good with catsup

A trip to Japan - can I hide in your suitcase???? :rotfl: I, too, would like to lose a little weight - I have gone up 1 (maybe 2) sizes since going o/s and could do with shifting it as I can't get into some of my clothes anymore :mad: . I am hoping to get rid of some of it come the spring though, when I have to sort out the veggie patch . Maybe I could put some of the change towards camp site fees for next summer???
Oh, I would like a new dvd player - mines a bit tempremental - yes, thats it - a new dvd player for me for christmas. There, sorted. C Card £5218.68 (Feb 2011)£2 coins (No 085) - £190Mort overpayments 2011 - £418.060 -

:rotfl:I would be more than happy for you to smuggle your way there - but with the amount of "stuff" we would want to bring back you would have to get a ticket home!
Yippee on making a decision on what to do with the change as well! :TDo not meddle in the affairs of Dragons, for thou art crunchy and good with catsup
