    A NSD today so that's 4 in the first week, I'm very happy :j .

    I'll have to spend either tomorrow or Wednesday but I'm going to make a list and stick to it. That way I shouldn't ruin NSDs having to buy things I've forgotten :o.

    Great to see how everyone else is getting on, it's very inspiring.

    Argh :mad: OH decided we had to buy new squash balls TODAY, so my trip to town was all good and NSD, until then! I did check prices and went for 3 balls for £3.99, rather than 3 for £7.99, so damage limitation at least :o (and I managed to buy the wrong balls :rolleyes: so have to go back tomorrow/weds *sigh*)

    Will try for my 2nd NSD tomorrow though :D

    Right I hope I have everyone - if you are missing pm me!

    I think its going to be hard to give everyone a number as I dont know in what order everyone joined...so if anyone has the time and energy you could put numbers to everyone...if not, lets do it next month.

    Hooray! NSD Monday!
    I'm hoping for four NSDs in a row because I did so much grocery shopping on Sunday just so I could succeed at this challenge!!! :D
    You're spelling is effecting me so much. Im trying not to be phased by it but your all making me loose my mind on mass!! My head is loosing it's hair. I'm going to take myself off the electoral role like I should of done ages ago and move to the Caribean. I already brought my plane ticket, all be it a refundable 1.
