It's weird when that happens, I recently had to buy a new fridge/freezer and I can't help but look at it everytime I go in the kitchen - and no it's got nothing to do with wanting to raid it *sheepishly - well ok it is*. I've also got loads of fridge magnets but don't want to spoil the shiny whiteness of it. Right that's it, I've got too much time on my hands

:rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: I'm the same! And I am starting to admire people's hanging baskets and want my own!

Laura,

How do you get your name on the NSD thread? I actually started my own today (payday) just on a spreadsheet in work. I re-read a book I have called In the Red by Alexis Hall, basically her no spend diary - it's hilarious and I tried it last year and failed miserably so thought I'd give it a go. So far, nothing spent today cos brought in my own lunch :j

As for hanging baskets, my next door neighbour has a basket one in the shape of a pig - the mind boggles!

Maybe I will start a hanging basket challenge! With the help of poundland I think I can do 4 for about £10. Its windy here.
Half of my wet underwear has come off the line and plastered itself on the windcreen of the farmer's tractor - ARghhhhh embarrassment of my huge bras. Will be back later to see how Blondie is doing. Bye all X

I think you'll have to keep your eyes peeled for the April NSD thread (should show up in a few days) then just post saying what you would like your target to be. You can then pop on daily and celebrate/commiserate on NSD's had/lost, I tend to update on the thread once a week, but change my sig everytime I have a NSD, or post on my own diary. I'm mostly busy talking nonsence on here though!

Amen to whoever said about Vin Diesel...

Savinghomes - the best of luck, wishes, hugs for your interview. xx

Rosered - yesterday i kept thinking about you (not in a creepy way!) and even told my sister about you. Im going to keep trying to make things better. Maybe one day i will end up with a Younghusband. lol

Anyhoo...

Just thought id pop back on for a mo, finally talked to someone who speaks english from the Job centre and have processed a new application. So fingers crossed should finally be able to claim something.:j

Am feeling ok today, was very pleased last night with the Martin post:D

Oh crumbs - as im sitting here the postman has dropped letters through and i heard a loud 'thud' which can only be more bills.:eek:

You will be all right my darling! And if you need a bolthole in the Yorkshire countryside - fetch marmite with you (but I don't want him dragging pheasants through the catflap!! :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:
