    I like curry for breakfast, don't know why but it is good.
    Hope the office survived your lunch Olive.

    Hmmm this 15 NSD's in July is proving a bit harder than I thought. - and it's only the 3rd :rotfl:

    July 1st - DD needed a prescription (she's being treated for depression, part of the cause is debt, she is a poor student, but medically they are only allowed to prescribe for a month at a time......so her depression costs her £7 a month :eek:) And as we were there I did our shopping taking advantage of Martins wine deal.............:o
    July 2nd - spotted a bargain luggage set - well you know we need luggage :o
    July 3rd - Need a new number plate to replace one which was vandalised :mad:

    perhaps I could move the goalposts a bit and things we NEED don't count?

    I think I NEED a bar of chocolate to think about this.........;)

    DD needed a prescription ,,,,this is not a luxury and i wouldn't count it,, so still a nsd
    July 2nd - spotted a bargain luggage set ,,,:naughty: er oops
    Need a new number plate,,,, ,this is not a luxury and i wouldn't count it,, so still a nsd

    nsd are hard to do..
    but like today i had to get bread and milk ,,,,other had gone off in the heat,,,so as far as im concerned its a nsd

    however had i been tempted to buy ..a cake or gum any little thing at all i would count the whole thing as a spend so its not a nsd

    like most i try to book in nsd,,,just thinking about what you need to get from the shops for the next 3days allows you 2 nsd,,,,
    but theirs always exceptions...if i run out of baby milk do i not get it now till sun..
    sometimes you have to get bits,,,personally this is ok aslong as i only get the emergancy item,,,
    ps
    if tomorrow is a hot day icecream can not be counted as an emergancy item :naughty:
    WAS DEBT FREE & STILL BAAARRRRRKING :cool:

    OK so I can count July 3rd, as an unavoidable, due to legal requirement spend, making it my first NSD. :beer:

    And I started so well on 4th, I didn't even buy a Saturday paper,though I like one at the weekend. Dear Ma put petrol in my car so no spend there, and then I fell at the final post. Her shopping came to £11.40 and she only had a tenner........how could I refuse :confused:, she insisted that she would settle up when we got home, but of course her short term memory is non existent and I wasn't going to remind her.

    So today I daren't buy a paper I'm way behind schedule on this 1 in 2 NSD's for July :rotfl:

    I've visited Wol too :D:D and had a great evening :D:D Arrived in time to see her labourers stripped to the waist, their toned and tanned bodies glistening with sweat in the sunshine. :drool::drool: Those three guys were positively gorgeous :D

    Popeye come home, and I'll buy you a stump cutter ;)
