Lovely Christmas Day spent with my family , mum and dad for dinner , son came round in the morning. Saw the GKs Christmas Eve and then FaceTimed Christmas Day . Boxing Day didn't get dressed , just put presents away and watched lots of films , spoke to relatives on FaceTime . Ordered a couple of things in the sales.Today took Dad shopping , spent sometime sorting his phone out.Tomorrow, weather dependent am hoping to drive to my friends house who moved on the 17th December to a new build. We are hoping to do a short walk of her new area. It's only about 15miles away to drive.Life is an adventure, never stop exploring.3

Sorry the trip was cancelled. We’d been forecast snow this morning but it hasn’t happened. I didn’t actually get up until after 11 though - watching a film in bed so I could have missed it 😏 but if it did show thankfully it didn’t stick.January spends - £587.583

Been for a trip out to the local shopping centre and bought my cards for next year , the shop was almost deserted the time I was in there but started getting busier as I was paying. Also bought 2 new photograph frames as the DGC broke one last time they were here , it was an accident .Also got a pack of skinny whips that I keep reading about just had one and it was lovely . Will keep them for a treat , weighed myself and put 1lb on so not bad for Christmas Day and Boxing Day , back to sensible eating now .Having a quick today round , did think about taking the decorations down but will do later in the week now .It's sooooo cold .Life is an adventure, never stop exploring.3
