Dipping my orange toes into the water..

Yes, I just hate the buying of gifts for the sake of it. Whereas an experience can be something you treasure.

I'm with you on that

And work is done for 2021!! Wahey! Now to prepare for Christmas. Bike bought from eBay for eldest one, saving £220 from new price and it's only two years old. Now to find a good price for a scooter for the littlest one.
Adults we do secret Santa with limit of £30, so not too many more spends.

Well done on finishing work for the year! Trying not to be too jealous... 

Secret Santa is a good plan too.

So had my booster on Friday and them wham knocked out all Saturday. Feeling more normal this morning thank goodness. Still good to be boosted and very impressed with the service. I did a walk in and it took 20 minutes from start to finish. Very kind all those volunteers.

Older DC found a gift card I'd forgotten about for £70 at John Lewis so that sorted the scooter out for the youngest DC. So presents are almost done!

Well done on the booster. Fab news on the gift card. That's a huge win at Xmas.

Yes @savingholmes I was so happy as I thought I'd lost it or spent it!

Christmas present from the OH £3000 overpayment of the mortgage hurrah! I've trained him well.
 Meaning we are now only £413.82 away from the 280s... Need to look at the budget, as that is just too annoying!!

LOL at not being satisfied with a £3K OP! You'll have your mortgage cleared in no time with that attitude though. Well done to both of you.
