    :wave:Hiya my lovely fellow NSD-ers
    WoooHoo Herewegoagain - our second finisher already! :beer: :j :dance: :T

    This definitely calls for some clappy hands! :T :T :T

    I'm still doing fine on the NSD front but I'm painfully aware that haven't even started the Christmas shopping yet. :eek:

    I'm also dreading the milkman knocking with our first bill cos it's going to be enormous! (and I don't know when it's likely to come so it's hard to plan for it!) But it's been a boon on the NSD front.

    The car repairs cost £200 this week (new brakes) and I'm hoping to tile and paint the bathroom this weekend so I'm going to need to buy both tiles and paint etc. Not having a car last weekend put the kibosh on getting much done in there plus Hubby was poorly sick and grumpy about the car so that didn't help. ;)

    Plus my daughter totally trashed her boots in the mud of our local park on Bonfire night - well she just finished them off really. They'd already had it - but that means more money plus the joy of shoe shopping with a teenager who doesn't know what she wants but is absolutely certain that it's nothing like anything I might suggest! :D :rolleyes: Bless. Who ever invented the phrase "withering look" must've had a teenage girl at home!

    See -"Spend, Spend, Spend" - that's me for the rest of this month!

    Eeeek! :eek:

    Love Jacks xxx :D

    PS Forgot to say: 16 out of 22 on day 20.

    Jacks - I know exactly how you feel - DS needs new trainers so that's the whole of Saturday taken up - trying to find the balance between price and brand.:eek:

    Haven't posted on here in a few days. I had a couple more NSDs earlier this week, but not today (a Pizza from Prezzo, hmm it was lovely) and flapjack yesterday!

    But I reached my target on Tuesday! WOO! :D

    I'm going to try and get 3 more this month though.
