    Put my money in for today. Due to the snow I worked a 16 hour shift (all double time) trying to decide whether to get a new Lulu Guinness handbag or put it in savings.....

  • Lulu Guinness handbags were on groupon before Xmas, three different styles in about 12 designs, also purses, may be worth checking out? Approx £12 instead of £20 plus.

    It turns out the answer to my problems wasn’t at the bottom of this tub of ice-cream, 🍨 but the important thing is that I tried...
  • I've got question, if I want to buy some gift wrap in the sales should I take it out of the amount I've saved for next Christmas or use other money? I've also seen a couple of things that I thought I could buy that for next Christmas but I've resisted the urge!

    The Lulu Guinness bag that I want is £125 down from £200 plus (although the one that I really want isn't in the sale and it is £395) Hmmm will think about it and see what wage I get. (hey at least not putting it on a credit card!!!)

  • A few days late but MERRY XMAS!!!! :j

    I hope everyone enjoyed it and had done great laughs with family etc. I stayed at home all day and refused to go onto the internet :rotfl:

    Been feeling ill last week or so but it's finally cleared up. On the plus side I got loads of change from all my Boxing Day shopping so that's me upto £48 and way about my target. January will be quiet so no doubt it will even itself out.

    Will update spreadsheet tomorrow as I'm off for a good nights sleep :D
