I've updated it today INOD
. Paid the £3 bank account reward to the debt taking the new flat debt to 80% paid off :T
Another NSD today
and managed a walk in the sunshine, very cold though.
Did some browsing online for Christmas shopping, plan to go into town at some point over the next week.
Chatted to my sister this evening and we were discussing going to visit family who live abroad next year so better get saving. First step is to save enough to renew my passport
