    I just bought my first xmas present , want everything done by the 1st December , I say this every year but it never happens. Mind you I did buy my frozen turkey last month from Mr T, (use by date: april 17) feeds 15-18 people for £1.50 :), yes that is right, talk about being in the right place at the right time, the man had just reduced them, he didn't know why they were being reduced but he had more to do. Surprisingly they soon went.xx

    Popped to Sainsburys to get some soured cream and ended up spending £83 :o:o However, this did include some new boots for the winter (£55) which I'd reckoned on spending about £80 on (havent actually tried them on yet though), and a cream jumper (£18).

    Then took the dog to the park and when I got back ds has finally surfaces from his pit :)

    Not sure of today's plans yet, will see what the day brings I reckon :)
