    I have to admit to buying a couple of things from not on the high street.
    Had not come across it before which is maybe for the best :rotfl:
    I haven't heard of it either.
    Think I'd better stay away :rotfl::D

    So glad I've found your diary - it is amazing to see the ex DFWers now on the MFW forum!!! Hoping it will be me this time next year (save me a space please - I will be there - better late than never!)


    Agree with so many others - you are a real support to so many of us Beanie - so now its time for us to cheer you on!


    Christmas is such a challenge when you a trying to be a reformed spender! but its gone now - all forgotten and tucked up in the attic for another year and no one died from only getting one present!


    I brought my spending down - but still could of bought less (particularly food! - thorntons anyone??) - but to get through Christmas and make 2 overpayment to your mortgage is fantastic!


    *subscribes* to wave the pompoms

    I agree with all of the above! :j

    Can't wait to be debt free and on the path to being mortgage free.


    Don't forget places like B00ts are now cutting their christmas gift sets by 50% and soon 75%. I used to get al my birthday presents and some future christmas presents during the sales. Saves money in the long run :beer:
