Em the amount of people that don't wear masks correctly is just astounding 
tayto it's things like that not sharing a box of chocolates that you wouldn't even think of due to COVID. I've none of that kind of shopping done yet. For teachers/childminder/breakfast club etc, token gift things. My Christmas club at work will pay out next week and I'll have €1225 saved.

I'd €70 in my clothing category in YNAB for ages. Today I got a dare2b email and they'd €10 off €80 and free delivery over €90. I got dc a half zip fleece each, one for myself, and a tshirt, vest and 3/4 running tights also for myself. I've a fleece jacket from them for approx 15 years now and other that a couple of loose stitches on the cuff it's as good as the day I got it. €184 for €81.70. And I seem to live in this type of gear when off work this year so money well spent.
There's €20.20 left in my clothing category and I've my eye on a sequin Christmas jumper Link if anyone wants to see it in Dunnes, and I've €13 of vouchers from them. I'm trying to do click and reserve on it. Have it reserved in one that's about 45 mins away but hoping one of the nearer ones will come good. It's €30 so I'll still have some funds in my clothing category 
Just got an email from revive active showing how to spend their reward points, I tried and failed to find out how to do this earlier in the week. Turns out my points are worth €19. I'll use it next time there's an offer on. Got it for €47 on cyber monday, down from €59.95. If I could've used them then, it would've made them half price.
I used a giftcard from last christmas to treat myself to Lancome Idole 50ml with a 10ml purse spray for €70 in black friday sale too.
For anyone in Ireland from 9th to 15th december Cadbury's allow you to send a chocolate bar for free, Secret Santa style to anyone in Ireland. Not sure if people from outside of Ireland can avail and send to an Irish recipient.
I'm not a big advent calendar fan, so a few years ago I got one you can refill and I normally put christmassy ideas into a lot of slots. This year I went all out and got dd a schleich horse club one and ds a lego one. They absolutely adore them and spent well over an hour on the floor last night playing with their stuff last night. I did it because COVID/2020 was such a shit year but I might keep it up.
We wore our matching Leigh Tucker christmas pjs for toy show and they loved that too. Mine and dd's will fit next year, ds's might also. If they do I might get a new set and then we could wear Christmas pjs all December. I've got a pair in with the decorations belonging to myself from last year.
Watched how to be good with money on rte last night and it was a lovely story about a 24 year old in Waterford who had bought a doer upper with compensation from a childhood accident(missed what happened to him but he'd a scar on back of his head) his goals were to have savings, replace his windows with double glazing and to put handles on his kitchen presses as he'd forgotten them when buying his kitchen. By end of the programme, he'd €1827 saved, was studying to change to a higher paid job and the presenter gave him a present of the door handles. He was made up by the gesture!!
Ds wants a schoolbag, I don't necessarily think he needs one(maybe his is too babyish) but I ordered one anyhow, it'll have to be bought in Sept otherwise so got him a bigger one. It was £16.50 on amazon.
Got an amazon refund for cover for dd's tablet
Ordered something for my friend on amazon so she owes me €110, will collect at the weekend.
wolf wow not much furniture left, can you afford to replace what you need to?
Ex spoke to hse dentist and finally has seen the light about dd and her braces. I expect we'll start her off in January. I was going to anyhow and fight him for the money afterwards, but this way I don't have to.
I paid my rent today, it's looking very tight for everything being sorted for house purchase before Christmas 
but engineers report came through today so hopefully something will happen tomorrow to get things rolling.
Have agreed to buy €20 worth of lines from my neighbour for palliative care draw, she's been great company since we moved to rented house.
Yesterday €15.05 on 4 firelogs, don't usually buy them but need to get more coal and timber so figured they'd bridge the gap, eggs and dc spent some of their pocket money(part of the €15.05)
Bought dd a reflective jacket same as ds's at the weekend €30. She's amassed quite a few jackets this year, seems to be developing into her thing 
€23.38 Dunnes €6.80 on vitamins and balance on groceries
€6.50 local shop on sweets for dc and neighbouring child while out walking on Sat
My €17500 savings(house deposit) earned €1.22 interest
