Thank you - and a merry Christmas to you too.
The food worked out nicely, with the exception of a very poorly prepared turkey from an expensive online butchers. Luckily the sausage in bacon mountain came to the rescue.
Visitors today so more food to sort, and some beef to pot roast this morning to replace the planned cold turkey. Need fat cat to move off my knee first but she is happily snoozing and she is toasty warm.
I could nip out to the sales, but I don't actually need anything so why bother? I did order some (needed) work shirts for OH in the sale preview if you have the loyalty account but that is the only planned purchase.My mortgage free diary: https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/discussion/6498069/whoops-here-comes-the-cheese

Merry Christmas Redo. Good to read your food worked out but annoying about the turkey.If you have built castles in the air, your work should not be lost; that is where they should be. Now put the foundations under them

Thanks DIA and JJ
Today is the first day with nothing specific to do. Rather predictably I am bored and tempted to put the work lap on :cool: instead I need to crack on with some house bits, I'm a bit rubbish at doing nothing at the best of times. More tea anyone?
I thought about nipping into small town this morning, but it's just looking for things to buy that we don't need. Really need to change headset on general spending, it's worked for clothes. Nothing it'll do, nothing that was bought just because it was a bargain and a trimmed down wardrobe of things I actually like, wear and suit me.
That said, I'm nipping to the co-op. Mostly because OH and I are on a seven day activity challenge, and he snuck ahead with a sneaky dog walk last night. Can't possibly let him win at this early stage :rotfl:My mortgage free diary: https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/discussion/6498069/whoops-here-comes-the-cheese

Of course he cant win - I am sure the dog will love all the walking with the pair of you fighting over the dog lead
I am sorry but cant read your diary from page one so I jumped in at 1st of Dec
our fitness challenge is about packing boxes so far I have done most of them but hubby has moved them for me (arthritic hands just wont do it)

Cars, house maintenance, birthdays

Really happy to be debt free after being a compulsive spender0 -
I'm also rubbish at doing nothing. I feel so guilty, there's always something I could be doing and time off work is so precious, I don't want to waste it.
Good luck with the activity challenge, don't let him beat youI get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)0 -
Merry Christmas Redo, all sounding good except the turkey (and I hope you're going to tell the butchers it was disappointing).

I can't do nothing either. I'm glad Christmas was good apart from the turkey. Good luck with your fitness challenge.Finally Debt Free After 34 Years, But Still Need to Live Frugally
