    Today was meant to be day 7 but I've been informed by the OH that his friends have invited us for dinner this evening, so that's gone out the window and I'm still on 6/12. However I won't be spending any money over the weekend, so come Monday evening I should be on 8, or even fingers crossed - 9! Will let you know how it goes. :)
    Away for the weekend now, hope everyone has a good one and it's not too stressful just before Christmas!

    well it turned out to be an NSD in the end! Hooray! And I'm now on 11/12 with 4 days to go :)

    Hope everyone had a lovely Christmas!
