    Oh, and (sorry for taking over the thread ;)) I bought a sequinned shrug from Red Herring in the sale, but that was entirely Mrs Spendalot's fault, so I am delegating the blame....hee hee!

    No, they really don't! At a push, rabbits maybe? Or perhaps donkeys? But definitely not reindeers! :rotfl:

    They WERE half price though... :o

  • 2 newspapers to see if they accurately reported the travesty that was our Referee yesterday (biggest clown I've ever seen), and £500 paying various bills.
    Almost debt-free, but certainly even with the Banks!
  • Ok I'll accept responsibility for your shrug purchase Snags. I wore mine last night and it did the trick! Kept the chilly night air from freezing my shoulders! And my Morgan killer heels turned out to be the most comfortable going out shoes I have ever bought so that was £55 well spent.

    I almost went back and bought the silver one as well, but I managed to restrain myself! I've dropped hints that I would quite like it for Xmas though. :o

    How great is it when you find killer shoes that are actually comfy??? I have some that I LOVE, just need somewhere to wear them to now!

    To pull Santa's sleigh of course Snags! Why else would a person need 3 reindeer/donekey/rabbits - delete as applicable.

    Just read thru the Xfactor thread from last night, looks like it was fun! I filled up everytime leon did his wee "i love my mammy/granny" speech - i'm glad he won as he was never cocky with it. Although, to be fair to the boy, can Rhydian sing or what!!

    Don't think much of the song choice for Xmas no 1 though. i like Leona Lewis's one.

    And then was watching VH1 and saw David Sneddon (Fame academy, little scottish dude, dark hair, cheeky grin!) on the video for Proper Crimbo, can't help thinking Leon will go the same route, in fact doesn't he look like the same bloke?!!?

  • Oh just realised i am in the confessional, should be confessing my sins!............

    Erm, i haven't done my clicks for about 4 weeks. i have totally lost motivation with them. I occaisionally do piggy clicks but only to see what's the goss...

    I have bought big G an ipod on my next account.

    But to be fair all other presents were paid for in real pre-earned cash up front. which is not too bad.

    And i cut up my newly issued crapital one card this week, when i could so so so very easily had a wee spree to myself.

    Please forgive me Martin?

    Well.....you have started something now, haven't you.......I am going to need a chocolate sleigh too!!!! :rotfl: :rotfl:

    Oooh, do you think Leon and David Sneddon are the same person? You never see them together, do you? And what about Gareth Gates. It's a conspiracy, I tell you!! :D :cool:
