I don't have Christmas bedding but we always have Christmas loo roll

Now I want all the Christmas bedding, cushions and toilet roll!  I definitely have FOMO 😂

Just to make you laugh!
I treated to myself to a Christmas cushion from M & S.
Then my mum treated me to PJ bottoms from M & S.
They are the same design

@beanielou are you secretly like Giles & Mary from Gogglebox?

Is it like Christmas camouflage @beanielou? You could lie in wait for Santa and he’d never see you! 🎅🏻

Good morning and happy Saturday 🍫📚☕️🎄
I am pleased to be off work, but have no plans today. Definitely no spending as yesterday was quite bad! I ordered a tea strainer for MrWW as he was sad he’d received some posh tealeaves in a hamper and couldn’t try them. Then my iPad case came (it’s really solid and pretty too) and I felt bad that MrWW’s hasn’t had a case for ages, he was admiring mine, so I said I’d get him one as an extra Christmas present. Of course his is a different size so was £6 more than mine, just for being half an inch smaller!
I plan to do some of my Christmas jigsaw, eat some Christmas chocolate (hotel choc white snowman) and look forward to strictly.
I hope you all have a fab-u-lous Saturday filled with wonderful things 📚☕️🍫🎄

Have a lovely day

Morning @WinterWarrior. I've been following on the last few weeks but forgot my password so couldn't say hello 🤦. Your organisation for Christmas has spurred me on, so thanks! I too have trouble not spending and then 'shuffling' money out of pots to cover it. I've recently tried only putting a small amount in each pot at the beginning of the month and then Tilly Tidying each day or few days into the pots. It satisfies my spending urge (sometimes) and the pots fill instead of empty as the month goes on. It works for me, anyway!

Hi elbree 👋 I keep myself logged in and then every so often they do a refresh and kick me out. I’m now saving my password…otherwise I have to reset it 🤣
Thats a good idea with the pots. I tend to fill them up straight away to ‘pay back’ what I’ve borrowed and then some. I have started leaving the pots and haven’t raided for a few months, but then borrow from the savings which is just as bad. As long as I’m 2 steps forward and just 1 step back it’s not too bad, but a bit slower than I’d hoped! Im trying to pay back any I borrow plus add extra to pb’s, that way I’ll keep creeping forwards as they aren’t as easy to access. My real trouble is if I leave money in my current account, somehow my mind sees it as a spending target and I want to spend it all, right away! So putting into savings and then taking it back works a bit better as I have guilt when I take some back and it gives me pause. I wish I could learn how to adult properly 🤣

@Deni_debt-free_dreamer what on earth is a Ken Bruce bauble? 😬 
My favourite is a green delicate glass T. rex complete with glitter…I love it so much 😁 I like the way it looks so random in with all the angels and baubles.

hi WW
i love the sound of that T rex bauble!  The KB one isn't really a bauble; it's a piece of paper you cut out (probably on R2 website, i just put it in g00gly) and slot together so it stands up, he does one every year .  He's wearing a tartan hat and a grumpy expression as he is the xmas grinch this year!  It just makes me smile everyday
I bought xmas bedding from Asda a few years ago so we use it for a month every year but this is our 4th year now i think.  

Love Deni
