    I was sad but it couldn't be helped , family come first even if they are half a world away. We can keep in touch via social media.

    Busy weekend , I have had visitors, so busy busy busy. Today has been all about catching up after they left for home .Washing bedding , towels , remaking beds. Back in my own bed tonight , looking forward to that.

    Have done Christmas decorations today , mimimal this year as I am not really here over Christmas, working some of it , then away for New Year. Not putting a tree up , I have a twig tree with lights and I love it.

    Dinner dance last night as predicted shoes lasted an hour ! Very cheap night as drinks provided.

    Shopping today £20.49 from Mr A . No petrol needed yet. Low spend weekend , £5 on a new smoke detector, extra £5 on milk and bread for visitors. £2 raffle on Saturday night. £5 secret santa present.

    Sold old iPhone on music magpie through topcash back ( thanks Scott ) for the tip.

    Bought train tickets to North east for new year £29.50 got nectar points for that. Read meter for this month consumption going up for gas , but in credit by £100 at the minute. This will even out by march properly.

    I am out on Thursday for next Christmas night out, meal with old workmates, won't be very expensive. Last week at work, it cost £4 in collections for different things.

    This month is definitely testing and taxing on your budget. Think that's it , apart from saying thank you to everyone who has commented .

    I try to reply to a few but I can't keep up with so many :o and do tend to just pop in to those I feel closer too.

    Well done on the NSD. We where discussing petrol prices yesterday. 1.24 at my local :eek: but in B town at Mr S it was much less yet only 10 minutes away. Well 10 minutes when the traffic on those main roads aren't as crazy! x

    I'm going to be eating beans and rice more often. It is a nutritious and delicious meal. I love black beans and some grain along with a salad a maybe a slice of avocado and a wedge of lime :)

    Well done posting the mobile.

    I try and spot new diaries, and at least say hello as its pretty lonely when you start a diary and you feel like you are wittering to yourself. I imagine it really peeks in January.

    That's a good price on the petrol cumbria, it was about 10p/litre more when I looked yesterday.

    JoJoC the recipe I use for the three bean curry is from beaniesvegan kitchen.com. I did try to link it to the post but it didn't work.

    I use different beans each time I make it for a bit of variety, it's cheap to make as well.
