Sue -Thanks for doing the challenge next year.It looks like you're well up for it and raring to go

Roll on tomorrow.I've just spent £100 on a Xmas tree.Yikes.It is beautiful though and the way I see it it's an investment.I'm hoping to have £100 in my pots to cover the costs so we can eat this Christmas lol

See you all tomorrow

So, is that what you might call an MSE Christmas tree then Molly - I mean do you have Martin on top as the fairy, guiding your every nibble??! So to speak!!! :silenced: :whistle: It really does sound so very beautiful and I can so imagine your little ones faces, bless them. You sensed me getting a bit excited then Molly? You could say that, it's a real delight to be doing so and I've really enjoyed the build up to it, especially with SO many new members ready to save with us.

A warm welcome to more now, including jenchin66, blissfullydebtfreewannabe, WISEOWL, sam79 (good luck with getting in control this next year Sam), PinkTwirl (great going with that terramundi, sounds so beautiful, well worth it!), Maisie M, Pips Mum and kyllle - welcome to MSE kyllle!!!
