    I read on your diary about your understairs adventures :eek:

    Currently watching the X factor final, and eating yummy sausages in hot baguettes!! Yum Yum Yum :D Have done my piggy and quidco clicks and noticed that I have earnt over £500 in the year that I have been doing quidco! Not bad, and I hope I get somewhere close to that this coming year. This money goes straight off my debt so is most useful in the £20k challenge.

    Piggy wise, I have had £60 of vouchers from them......am hoping to get a similar amount next year and if I could get to £100 I would be a good way towards my Free Christmas 2008!!

    My sealed tin is getting heavy - we decided to open it on Christmas Day. Everything in there is being converted to Euros and Swiss Francs for the kids' pocket money when they go away. I have asked Santa for a Terramundi for Chistmas and hope to get enough in that to order a couple of replacement windows this time next year.....

    It will all come together......IT WILL, IT WILL!

    I would like a terramundi to, have you seen those gorgeous ones in the royal arcade? forgot to ask mum for one so will have to ask OH instead. atleast I know where to point him!! :-)

    Great news re the tin, are you taking sweepstakes on how much is in there?

    (sorry for rubbishy smilies tonight but keep doing quick replies instead of advanced!)

    We will have a calculated guess on Christmas day, based on the expected and anticipated number of each type of coin in the tin.........

    You can get Terramundis from Prezzybox on Quidco.....:p

    Ah, but Snaggles are you aware that the only reason I am organised enough to HAVE cards to send this year is because I never got round to writing the ones I bought for LAST Christmas :o:o:o:o

    So its not only me then :o What makes it worse is I only rediscovered them by accident while looking for something else :o :rotfl:

    Me too! I had completely forgotten what I had bought last year.

    Even worse, today I found another bag of cards that I bought the year before......perhaps I can get through next Christmas without spending money as well!

    Morning again!

    The kids are race training this morning and I will work at the ski club for a couple of hours while they are there.

    Then after lunch, I have a bit of a blitz challenge going with Duchy, so hoperfully the house will look a little better by the time we sit down this evening.

    Hope you all have a good day xx

    Morning Hypno
    If you get time could you come and blitz my house too, it looks like Christmas has been and gone here.
    I have yet to write one single card and like the rest of you have boxes of the things with reduced stickers I bought over the past 10 years of January sales. I hate the things !
    Morning will be spent at the U11's football touchline, looks like the menfolk have an afternoon of armchair football planned, so I guess I should get on with my own blitzing.

    Hi Frugal Jo, why not join in with me and Duchy for the blitz this afternoon - won't be anything toooooo manic or strenuous as we have to work round kids etc, but even a couple of half hour blitzes might make a difference? They don't have to be housework either - they could be card writing!
