    Good morning everybody, I hope you are well and have fabulous Monday.
    Happy shopping.
    Mortgage debt 45,000. Thank you all for your help so far in helping me save to buy the house. I could not have done this without all your help.

    Good morning.
    I have finally printed some ncg coupons so I'm going to Morrie's this morning for a coupon shop:D I hope the young happy scanning lad is on the self scan.
    We've finally bought the pram:j
    I'm getting a bottle of aftershave and a bottle of perfume today and then my Christmas shopping is complete all but one present.
    I need something light so I can post it, for a couple, has to be stylish, they like birds so I've got them a glass flat robin but I don't know what else to get them. Last year I got them champagne flutes and a bottle of champagne ;) but we saw them so we took them with us, this year I need to post them so any ideas very welcome.
    So tomorrow is definitely present wrapping day:D
