    Didn't step out of the house today (didn't even get dressed - freezing cold despite thermal socks, warm PJs, a thick dressing gown and a fleece rug.... and a nasty headache that kept coming and going all day to round it all off), and managed to stay away from Amaz0n and eB@y too.

    So I'm now on NSD #3

    Was hoping for a NSD yesterday, but ended up having to pay the garage £300 for car repairs..:eek:

    Wont have a NSD today either as it's food shopping day. Hoping to get 5 in a row next week though!

    I would love to claim another nsd, but I have just unthinkingly paid the kindergarden: 13 lunch hours and 34 after-school halfhours for a total of € 16.85. It is almost a joy to pay so little for such good care (including biscuits).

    That's seems a low price.Do lunch hours include lunch?Silly question maybe....

    Well done also to.

    Hi All

    A very spendy day today but I have just got the keys for my new house so I am soooo pleased :D

    I've had to borrow off family members etc to scrape together my deposit and additional funds as the BS would not lend me the amount I needed :p

    So I will be trying to stick to my challenges from now to pay them back...

    :beer: I'm having a glass of wine
