This is the link to NORAD (obviously it does nothing just now). Basically on xmas eve, santa gets in his sleigh and goes round the world. It tells you how many presents he has delivered to how many people all over the world.

If you google NORAD santa tracker and click on images you will see what it looks like. Last year I seem to think it had games and stuff on it but I am not 100% sure (my memory is quite poor).

Anyways, I highly recommend it. It's brilliant.


Spend-free day today - So that's four!!

I have now changed over to the tescimo credit card.
0% to change it over.
And 0% interest for 10 months.
I now owe £3480.
:eek:

If I was to do the 100% thing (or 1% thing), I think that means I would have paid off 7.31%. Is anyone good at maths able to tell me if I have figured it out right?? This is what I did:
3754.64 divided by 100 = 37.54, total paid off (274.64) divided by 37,54 = % paid off.
Does that make any sense at all?? I was never very good at maths.
:embarasse

Your maths are perfect stewby

Well tummy is better today, sun shining, grandson after work so was in a lovely mood until I find out my sainsbobs energy bill payments rising from 39.00 to 90.00 a month. My fault just coasted along since my Sister passed away in Jan, was in debit then, should have increased my monthly payments. An annual bill is not a great idea, can swop end Oct if I pay everything upto date by then!!! Oh well suppose worse things in the world.

Today I need a roll of wallpaper or two so if I can find one I like, may open my purse. My daughter has some she hasn't used but would like bit more colour in my hall, give it some warmth. Rubbish at this challenge this month sorry Mothernerd and my DFD seems to be getting pushed back, decided to get house sorted and then re assess my debts. Not helping my stress levels at moment.

Apologise for the constant whinging thats all I have done last month Hopefully things will improve soon, anyone heard from our Kat Turtle?

Last whinge now I am going to have to walk around town with salad dressing all over my dress( boob area) scuffy me, runaway tomato.

Will update totals later.

Spendy day as it's food shopping day, and am satisfied with what I got for my £35. Dd was with me - couldn't send the shingles-infested mite to school just yet! But she only added about 79p to the bill.

So, food shop went well, but we had also been to the 2 ch shops and got amaaaaazing bargains. A Ra1nbow Magic jigsaw for £1.50 and a Bu1ldabear box of Bu1ldabear clothes for £8.50. There were 30 items in there!!! They have all been put away for Cmas/bday.

I got in an exercise session first thing - always helps to get it done before my brain wakes up and yells at me to stop...

Lovely neighbour has come down with chicken pox, as well as her 1 year old, so the pox/shingles is definitely going around here. Dd should be returning to school tomorrow, dh can take her,but need to arrange someone else to collect. Best go organise that!

Pumped up a car tyre with a bike pump, so that's the exercise taken care of, spendy day with my mum, got food for garden birds, fat balls and sunflower hearts, all on offer and watching them makes me happy.
Bought son his winter duffle coat, some socks and a shirt and trousers for a family party this month. I don't needs anything to wear, I will find something in the wardrobe, and I will drive so it will be a cheap night out.
I am grateful for my mum today, she is lovely, kind and funny.

Today I am grateful for scooters, trampolines and bouncy hoppers (MUST research ones for grown ups!), for getting bargains in the ch shops, for getting some sewing done, for having time with dd, for making tea from leftovers.

Hi guys. You're all doing excellently. Stewby your maths is perfecto and well done on the switch, with no fees!!

Apple - I am one of those mums who desperately wishes for Jellytot to catch chickenpox. Remember my friends little sisters getting it at aged 5 & 8 and they really suffered. Whereas I have no recollection having got it when I was tiny and having mum bundle me up in scratch mitts etc and calamine lotion. Mercifully just the one scar on my forehead too, whereas friends sisters were quite badly marked as they scratched a lot and there is no scratch mitting an itchy 5 year old.

2nd SFD of the month here. Groceries over £110 already. I should just give up and hibernate. Mum went in for her Op 8 hours ago. Still heard nothing. Wanted an early night as Jellytot woke me repeatedly during the night then gave me a rousing fanfare with her drum kit which she had moved to my bedroom door pre 7am. Little monkey. Doubt I will sleep til I know what is what.

In the words of Apple, I am grateful for my mum, dad & lovely family, beautiful child and an excellent nursery school, and definitely for leftover cottage pie topped with dauphinoise instead of mash

Keep on trucking peeps!
