  • They were £11.99 so I’m not sure it’s worth the hassle and postage to send them back.

  • Good morning and happy Thursday ☕️🎄📚🍫
    No work today…fa la la la la, la la la la 🥳🎅🏻🎄
    Pay is in and shuffled. Just need to do the pb’s when I’m up as I do that via card so it’s instant from my bank and instantly shown in the pb account. I need to keep up the momentum on Christmas 22 pot and my other pots so there is enough when I need it. I need to get the savings to a point where I can exclude the pots from the savings total, but I’m not there yet or it will look grim. 
    January will feel like a slow savings month as I’ve done everything already. 
    I’m not sure what I’ll be doing today yet.
    I hope you all have a tremendous Thursday filled with wonderful things and Christmas excitement 😊🎄🎅🏻☕️☕️🍫🍫

    Happy holiday-day! I'm allowed out today (with negative LF) so going out for a walk. Think I've forgotten how to leave the house! 🤔
  • happy holidays WinterWarrior !  How long are you off for? 
    I went to the SM last night for vegetables and treats!  Today we had to go into town to get DD2's glasses repaired; i ordered more contact lenses for her but they still haven't arrived yet so she will need her glasses.  I'm in work today but nothing urgent to do so feeling relaxed especially now we have all the food in that we need (& lots of food in that we definitely don't need ;) Amazingly i can still fit in my jeans despite all the shortbread biscuits i've eaten and those tube crisps

    love Deni

  • Thanks @jwil and @elbree.
    @Deni_debt-free_dreamer…you are just showing off now…fitting in your jeans 😮 I hope we can still be friends. I’m sure shortbread and tube crisps can have no bearing on weight gain (side eyes the tube next to me)…this also applies to half a chocolate model penguin and a beer 😬
    I am off until the new year now. The MrT order came with limited subs and a preordered turkey on the bottom end of the weight guide, sending MrWW into a frenzy about the lack of turkey leftover meals he might be enjoying, despite there being just 2 of us for Christmas dinner and it still being large….he takes his turkey very seriously. Our cupboards are heaving now with so much Christmas Stuff that I think we’ll be ok until February 🙄
