  • nic and Feisty I do hope you can get things sorted out, it's not fair that money can make things stressful and affect our health, there is always an answer so I hope you can find it.

    I enjoyed wrapping my Christmas presents in brown paper so I've been buying lots of ribbon and washi tape in the sales to do it again this year - i'm sure I've spent a LOT more than I would have done on just buying cheap wrapping paper in the sales! Oh well at least my presents will look pretty. :)

    I've done one of the things on my new years resolution list by making this weeks recipe of American buttermilk pancakes, I added blueberries and they are yummy! I've only ever made crepes, think i'll be making these pancakes more often!

    DH is going back to work today after around 2 weeks off, it's going to be a bit of a shock to the system today as I've got used to having him around to help with wiggle. Hopefully it won't take too long to get back into it.
  • Urgh today's a struggle, back to work after nearly 2 weeks off. But don't suppose I'm alone! 100s of emails to go through, along with notifications of new messages on here!
    Bought a few stocking fillers in the sales so far, not yet put them away as I need to wrap them 1st! This year I will NOT be wrapping it all on Xmas Eve
    Counted up all the coins in sealed pot challenge and £2 - grand total of £246 so after paying car tax a nice start to Christmas 2015
    Hope everyone has a gentle start to 2015

  • You lot can't half yak! I'm back, trying to do a catchup, so will read properly later.

    Happy New Year everyone, here's to a successful year in bargain hunting, chilled out times and an element of gloating knowing that we are generally on top of things when everyone else is running round like blue ar*ed flies later in the year :)
    A smile costs little but creates much :)
  • nicand feisty I hope you get things sorted lots of good advice from the others.
    Feel so down today guess its the realisation all the excitement is over january always makes me feel down. Need something to lool forward to I guess!!

    Nic I really hope you get it sorted!

    We had a letter Saturday saying DH ESA is being stopped :( his cardiac consultant has forbade work and medically retired him permenantly, so not sure what to do now.

    DH is ringing today, but he's been stressing about it all weekend and has been gEttington chest pains and all sorts :(

    Was he in the work group I think that stops after a year , he needs to go into the support group as he is unable to work.
