Ooh, lovely beanie! Is it a chocolate one?
I have a deadline on 3rd Dec so I refuse to do anything that will make that seem closer, so no advent calendar for me yet! 🙈2 -
Pleased the appointment at job centre is over and done with and you know what’s going on money wise. What a relief to get it over with for you.
i totally agree that you should get out and about at every opportunity. It’s what I do. There’s plenty of time to stay in the house when there is no alternative. Even then a nice time can be had - I used to invite friends around and get a take away in 😁👍
Hope the soup wasn’t too hot. Have you got one of the frames with a tray so you can carry things easier?January spends - £587.582 -

Thanks milann. I only know part of my money puzzle which is the new style ESA. The other part you have to wait just on 6 weeks to find out the final result. I will get my statement on that next week.milann said:Pleased the appointment at job centre is over and done with and you know what’s going on money wise. What a relief to get it over with for you.

Aw glad you've got a wee chocolate advent calendar to look forward to. I was thinking the other day about when I was a kid at Christmas and getting a selection of chocolate bars, packaged in the shape of a stocking, was the most exciting thing ever. Probably still would be 😁https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/discussion/6466032/an-in-between-phase/p1

I’m glad you treated yourself. I’m old enough to remember the advent calendars where you opened the window and got a picture of a star or a donkey etc, how things have changed 🤣I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)5
