    A spendy day today. My craft class is having their Christmas social and it was only mentioned last night that it is a secret Santa as well. Managed to get some nice Thornton's chocs in the coop reduced from £12.50 to £3. I got another box for the lady who runs the class. Happy with what I have got for the budget. We are also playing bingo which is £1.
