Glad you enjoyed your catch up. I must admit I was very tempted to watch Love Actually for the millionth time yesterday. I was originally trying to find somewhere showing Hocus Pocus original version but not paying £11.99 for an old film I’ve already seen lots of times as much as I love it.Hope both you and your mum feel better soon.I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)3

Hope your Mum feels better soon. My DD went to Cornwall for the weekend and one of the shops were playing Christmas songs already, I also noticed that a couple of Christmas channels have re appeared on the tv 🙄Original Debt Owed Jan 18 = £17,630 Paid To Date = £6,510 Owed = £11,1203

I do like a Christmas film but couldn’t watch one until December 😂😂 i actually prefer to do my Christmas shopping later too, but practically it’s easier to spread the cost and get items when available…..think it’s the Christmas last minute rush I enjoy…..I must be mad 😂😂
Hope you and your mum are on the mend 👍January spends - £587.583 -
I have to confess I haven't seen Love Actually. Will watch it when I have my own home again. I didn't know it was a Christmas film.
UTI's can make you feel off balance so take care and hope you feel better soon.
