    Sad weekend is over! Wrapped Christmas presents Friday night and got a nice surprise from my friends who popped round watching me ranting about wrapping presents lol!

    Saturday took my friend out for lunch on Saturday, I refused to let her pay (long story short: if you saw her face and heard what her man done it was heartbraking and I was taking her out cheer her up - thankfully I had money in my account or would not even think twice about going into savings) At night had a few drinks in my friends (first drink in 7 weeks lol)

    Sunday took my boy to Transport Museum (free) and treated him McDonalds after.... not to mention few football cards keep him going for his collection.

    Hope you all had a nice weekend!

    10 days until pay day
    16 days until debt free xx
