    Well done everybody who's finished already! I'm nearly there.

    It's 21/22 on day 29 for me! :dance: So 2 days to go and only 1 NSD left to get.
    Blimey. :eek: I really didn't think I'd manage it this month - and just to muddy the waters our milk/ bread etc delivery didn't come at all today so I shall have to buy some in the morning I expect. :rolleyes:

    Love Jacks xxx

    PS My son's new gf seems nice! :D (and not at all demented like the last one! And she eats my dinners enthusiastically so she's polite as well! :rotfl: )

    NSD 13 today! :dance: I have one more to go to reach my target of 14, and am hoping that Friday will be the last one. I've aimed for slightly less for November (13) with all the Christmas shopping I need to do - thanks to Jacks xxx for starting the November thread and a massive thanks to lilmissmup for looking after the last two challenges and for giving us big smilies! Tomorrow is going to be a spends day - will need to pay bus fare, buy phone credit and printing credit but hopefully that will leave Friday free for an NSD. OH has been promoted today to Team Leader so we'll probably celebrate on the weekend too. x

    NSD 5 for me :-)

    I really didn't think I'd reach my target. I know it seems pathetically small compared to some people's targets but it's been a real achievement for me. I'm really chuffed with myself.

    Now to aim for 6 in November!

    Nice shiney star for you too!

  • Another NSD for me today - Yay!

    I got the mick taken out of me at work today because I took my own breakfast inc milk, plus lunch..... my response was 'why would I pay good money for sub-standard food, when I can bring my own, I know I'll like it, and it doesn't matter if I'm late for lunch because my food will still be in the fridge!?'...... silence was the stern reply!
