    Enjoy Spain,


    I also hope that the other day went well and it did provide the closure you needed. We need that closure to start the new year afresh sometimes. I hope you are able to do that.

    Amazing that you still have enough euros xx
    September 2017 Debt = £25330

    Starting afresh.

    You can do anything if you put your mind to it. x

    Depending on how much you want to spend on the present for your friend - there’s a place in Whitefield that does a lovely afternoon tea - it’s a bit pricey but the cakes are so good...my only criticism was it was there were too many cakes - but we had a doggy bag :beer: - not sure what GF they do though. We went on the tram in the summer

    Hope you’re enjoying the sunshine in Spain.

    Ooh a lovely break in Spain :j Hope you're having a lovely time.

    How about a voucher for a beauty salon for your friend so she can have her nails done or a facial?

    Glad to see you back and that you had a wonderful time. 21c certainly sounds better than the wet and windy weather we've had here the last week.

    Back from Spain to this awful weather , seeing the sun was so lovely . Have got washing everywhere hoping it dries overnight.

    Managed to stay within spends budget and brought back a few Euros again.

    The madness that is Christmas now starts, been shopping today for a few bits and have got the GF Christmas puddings for Christmas Day.

    I need to wrap all the presents up but don't seem to be able to get motivated . My niece is coming in the morning to do my hair so will wrap hers and SIL tonight.

    Had a day off childminding today , seemed very strange and I missed my little GD.

    Thinking of SA and her accident , hope your better soon .
