    Hi all

    It is sad about the bank charges. I know the door is still wedged open but its not looking good. Thankfully we managed to come off pretty unscathed from the bank charges think but that was £200c of our money. Money I would rather have had though...we'll watch Martin's postings on hte subject.

    Xmas shopping is more or less under control. The budget is being challenged though! I bought a present for OH - shock / horror (the last couple of years we've not bought for ourselves). I've still got to balance up the kids piles - always a challenge! So far I've overspent by £56 which is not good.

    MB is moving forward again although I had to forfit a small amount at one bookie who was being a pain to get the money out. Hopefully a couple of hundred to throw at the debt or Xmas overspend next month!

    All progressing very slowly.....:rolleyes:
