    Not posted for a few days as I wasn't sure I had NSDs, then I had a d'oh moment when I realised that on a spend day last month I had put aside money for Christmas pressies and therefore they were covered :D

    So up to 7 please :p
    Do not meddle in the affairs of Dragons, for thou art crunchy and good with catsup :D

    NSD #3 today. :j Better start to this month than last. Seem to be planning a little better. Was so close to buying some tinned tomatoes to put in my sausage casserole, but resisted and just made with stock instead. Yay me. :D just hope it tastes ok. Bit of a trial and error meal.

    Hope i can get another couple of NSD's this week.

    I also managed to chip one of my front teeth on a beer bottle last night (don't ask, long story) which is really annoying. I feel like a total hillbilly with a broken gnasher and am rather peeved as I don't have so much as a filling to date :mad: was the result of some silly horseplay - argh! It's not a massive chip (though feels bigger than it is) just hope it doesn't affect the rest of the tooth, and going to have to phone my dentist tomorrow. Just hoping that he'll repair it under my dental cover as it's visible at the front and it's not classed as cosmetic as that could be one costly bottle of beer :eek:

    Ohhhhh noooooo!

    I've got a (tiny now thankfully - and no-one really notices it until I tell them) scar bang centre in the middle of my forehead from a similar horseplay session:o. Hope you can get it repaired OK

    Look who I found on the coupon drivel thread

    images?q=tbn:ANd9GcThvsvyMWyTEhyFnc6178Ai01M9_jY-2q0dKDVjSGi2mZEmownn1g

    Awwwwwww :D

    Well .... not one for me - confession time I didn't sleep well last night (after sleeping most of the day!) and waded through many ... many .... many pages of ..... handbags on e*bay (I'm blaming the Bail*eys I had) - although I didn't actually buy any last night :T I did add rather a lot :o (and I mean a lot) to my watch list - which I found earlier today .... and just couldn't resist one:o

    It is sort of a need :o - although I had lots of bags at one point, I have sold most of them so don't have that many now, although - I guess that could be open to interpretation - what's a normal amount?

    Anyway, it's for work and has an across body strap - I find with my winter coat (maybe the extra thickness?) mine are all slipping off my shoulder as they've mostly got short handles - and it's driving be bananas:o .....

    Zipadee doodah, zipadee-ay, I got another NSD today.....

    making it now 3 NSDs in the Cauldron of Doom!!!

    (No, Igor, that is not a traditional Christmas song. We do carols and wassailing songs and stuff like that. Yes, wassailing, you know, with the huge punch bowl full of mulled alcofrolic stuff, and mince pies. No, not mince as in minced beef. No, not mince as in that funny way Hubert walks when he's been shoplifting the stilettos again. Mincemeat. That sweet stuff. No, you will not find it in the recipe book "Mrs Beaton meets the Hairy Bikers". That is not a genuine book anyway, she died in her twenties back in the 19th century. What? She got a ghost writer to do it for her.....?)

    Igor says he is going to organise a NSD gang Christmas concert with only a couple of weeks to go, and do the wassail punch, and make all the mince pies, and arrange the music, and rehearse the NSD gang choir...
    I feel one of my headaches coming on again.....
    One life - your life - live it!

    Yes nearly there marmite and beanie fingerscrossed.jpg. I'm a lil tentative if I'm honest, as I have to fork out for a couple of things this month so I may have to wait an extra payday, and I won't believe it until I 've paid off that final penny! :money:

    The end is in sight though.:)

    Well,I did manage not to spend today,so that's #7 taken care of.:j

    kerri what bad luck with the tooth.
