    Happy New Year everyone. Hope 2016 brings you good health, wealth and most importantly happiness Xx

    We managed to stay up and see in the New Year. Kids too :eek:. Very quiet evening though.

    Today we've been to my Mum's for lunch. NSD (hopefully first of many) and lots of fattening food (last of that for a while - not long now til my Sister's wedding :eek:). I've also taken down all the Christmas cards (tree and decorations will come down over the weekend) and have cleared out DS1's pj/undies drawer and his trousers. Everything that is too small is bagged up waiting to go into the loft for DS2 to grow in to. I know how to party!!!

    2015 saw 'only' 3 full seizure episodes which is the lowest since 2013. DH also had 2 partial seizures and literally hundreds of mini seizures but we will glaze over that!! The last 2 years running he has had his first seizure of the year on Jan 13th, so this year that date is cancelled :p.

    Debt calculation done and I'm starting the year owing £2090 across 2 different 0% cards. Hoping to have that gone by Christmas, though that may prove difficult so will just see how it goes. I have DS1's birthday this month, 3 weddings in the first half of the year, and a determination to have a Christmas Savings pot again this year after failing miserably in 2015.

    Amber, I shall follow your lead with the 'sealed Xmas pot'. Mrs H got me thinking of it and you mentioning it now has sealed the deal :D.

    Lilty!! Such ninja stealth!! Lovely to have you back. Know we are in touch on FB but great to have you back on here too.

    Beanie, Happy New Year to you my lovely. The debts have increased recently not decreased for the first time in almost 5 years :o, but I don't plan on making a habit of it!!
