Ready to do it all over again ...

Ds haircut (£11),while he was in there I wandered up the high street and managed to submit 4 job spots I also found a parking space in the street rather than having to pay for the car park, so all good there.

The Christmas cards have gone in the recycling, the fridge has been sorted and all :)leftovers that are past their best have gone. Clean washing put away, a nice pile of ironing is building up for me though on the dining table

I'm just about to fill a flask with coffee to take to the go-karting place, the parking is free there so hoping not to spend any more money today.

I did clear out the car earlier too, one bag full of rubbish, another of stuff that belongs indoors, so that's all been put away too.

Go karting was good fun although it was freezing cold. I didn't feel like cooking when we got back so grabbed a KFC on the way (£9), just had a hot bath to warm up, now it's pj's and blanket on the sofa for the rest of the evening

Hair has been highlighted and cut, (£95 :eek:)it isn't cheap but only gets done twice a year. I am going to budget for this though so it isn't such a shock to the system next time around.

So, today is payday, it's also my extra tax credits payment day (paid 4 weekly, so one month I get two lots, already accounted for in the holiday fund). There are only a couple of days left this year so my plans for the new year are now coming together, I'll be adding more details of this soon.

This morning I took down the decorations and have taken the tree to the tip. I haven't boxed everything up yet, I'm going to go through and sort it all and pack it away properly this year.

I still have a bit to go to reach today's Swagbucks target, I am on track so far to reach my daily target for the whole month for the first time, two more days to go

I have decided to write the next chapter of my diary back on the debt free diaries board ... ultimately I am not working on paying off my mortgage at the moment and won't be for a few years until my brothers loan is paid off. Therefore I will head back over there until that's done. I will be back here, as soon as the loan is gone

It would be great to see some of you over there, thank you for your support in this chapter :T :T
