    YAY... I did it. I've managed to get my 8th NSD today. What a great feeling. Today was easy enough until my friend asked me to buy her a bar of chocolate on the way to her house. There was no I was I was going to fail because of a bar or choc and especially as it weren't even for me!! I was tempted to just let her have it and pretend i had an NSD, but I just can't do it so I made her give me the money for it lol She was quite happy to give me the money, but normally I wouldn't have taken it so I feel a right tight so and so :( I think I'll buy her a big bar tomorrow to apologise for being so tight
