Morning all! How's everyone today? It's cold and blowy here today... was considering taking the girls to toddler group but it's a bit of a walk so not sure.. Hmm...
K slept through AGAIN last night :T Shame that Ash woke at 6.30am and that I needed to get up in the night for a wee!! I just want to sleep!! Lol!

Hi, good morning!

It's really dark and miserable here today but quiet in the office so far this morning so hopefully I'm in for a relatively stress-free day!

Well done K for sleeping through! Hope you continue to get more sleep!

I'm feeling really positive about everything money-saving this morning! DH and I had a good chat last night - we'd been invited to Australia by my sister and brother-in-law for Christmas 2008. This would be amazing but would probably increase our debt by the amount that we would have decreased it by that time so it would be one step forward, one step back....! So we've decided to focus on getting debt-free by Dec 2009 and then go to Australia once we've paid off these debts - we're planning a budget-friendly holiday to France instead - much happier!

Morning Sar and well done K again she is a super sleeper now.

Mattfiona - well done you on the decision over Australia it must have been a hard one to make. Xmas 2009 will soon come round though.

Penguin - don't work too hard.

Not much planned here. Working from home today and then hope to do some Ebay later.

Does anyone know when the next clubvard vouchers will be sent out??? Have enough to get £35 off a full service for the car but want it done next month!!

immoral_angeluk

Managed to book the car in for a major service Supposed to be £195... got discount down to £166 with clubcard... will get clubcard points as well.... then if we get the vouchers in time that'll be another £40 off... PLUS went through quidco for another 4% :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

morning all. Very blustery here today.

Knackered as well!!

Going to set up my router (from the luvverly Toto!!) and so I could well be wireless by the end of the day!!! MSE'ing from bed - I like the sound of that!!

Have to say though, the lure of bed is ever present at the moment - I'm really struggling day to day I'm feeling quite despondent and each day is uphill. Not sure why, really, but I've felt it growing over the last week or so. I keep thinking I need to do something, like take up a hobby or think about setting up a business but literally nothing excites me, I just feel 'blank'.

Sorry........I'll shut up now!!!

Anyway, jobs day in the local rag. With Christmas and New Year out of the way, there could well be a load of jobs advertised today.

Part time Thorntons taster perhaps.......well, I can dream!!!!

Gemmzie

Sorry to hear things are all a bit grey Keren. I know where you're coming from

Well I finally got news on that email, I won the competition :j I'm so excited!!

immoral_angeluk

OOOh what did you win gemmzie?

Keren sending big dodgy 3 some hugs your way hun :grouphug:, but if it carries on promise you'll go talk to the doc about it?

Snaggles

Keren, if you don't feel any better in a couple of days, please go and speak to the doctor, that blank, numb, don't-want-to-do-anything-except-stay-in-bed feeling sounds depression-like, and if it goes beyond a couple of days of 'hormonal blues', it's better to tackle it straight away. I know it's cold, but could you get yourself out for a little walk, or have a bath, do your hair and put your make-up on.....something to give you a little boost?

Snaggles

Oooooh, a window-man (glazier? ) has just turned up to fix a broken window that one of our neighbours has had boarded up for about 2 years (not exaggerating!). We might be going to sell our house soon, and that will definitely make the street look better. :T

And my Asda vouchers for this quarter have just arrived, which is great as our shopping account is looking a bit sparse at the moment.
