  • I'm not counting ebay postage as 'spends' because the buyer has already given me the money to cover it. So....that gives me a NSD fof today as all I've shelled out on was postage!
    :j I'm enjoying the NSD challenge, but getting a bit obsessed...I was sooooo pleased when my mum bought my NOTW on Sun and refused to take the 95p for it as it meant I had a NSD!!!:rotfl:
    I really need to sort out a new signature!

    Morning all, well its a trip to the doctors for me and ds today as he's woken up with spots :eek: He had a few yesterday but I thought they were insect bites but today some are fluid filled blisters and more have appeared over night :o:o I'm thinking it could be chicken pox :rolleyes: Will update you after I've spoken to the doctor ;)

    Oh dear-does sound like chicken pox. Hopefully it's a mild case.
    Suppose that's a few unschedule @home days for you to catch up on surveys and writing reviews (and eat Caramac)

    Uh oh.... and with the caramac at the top of the page, and the ebay news, I thought it would all be good news as usual. Hope you're both okay, benben.

    The doctors said I have to take him down between 4-4.30 when they have a kiddies clinic. I'm not expecting much,last year he had something similar and they weren't sure if it was chicken pox / impetigo / virus. When he was a baby he had something that one doctor said was definitely chicken pox and another said definitely wasn't :rolleyes: :rolleyes: So I've no idea whether he's already had chicken pox or not :rolleyes: :o He's absolutely fine in himself so I'm letting him play a bit then we're doing "school activities" like writing and stuff ;) I am also planning on catching up with housework / finances stuff etc :D

    Mum popped in with a comic for ds and another 5.00 NOTW voucher for me ;) :rotfl: I've done loads of tidying up, 3 lots of washing and placed a matched bet that will hopefully make me about 20.00 tonight :beer:
    Just had lunch, now I'm going to tackle the ironing before doing some writing with ds :D

    I've sorted out the banking stuff, and moved the money I did get from my ex into the mortgage fund, and it has not only seen off August 2029 but my payment for July 2029 is 90p :rotfl: So later today when the matched bet settles or if I check my paypal account, I may manage to get rid of July :j :j Not bad as a couple of day ago it stood at September and by tonight it could be down to June 2029:beer:10 yrs more to knock off :D:D:D:D
