Milanns mutterings on this last milestone.

Hope you manage to make the money stretch.... I am thinking of checking out Tescos clubcard deals to see what they can fund for us this year!

I'm sure you will make it with sheer grit and determination.Just think how many nsd that will be.

Nuther NSD here 9/11 - getting low on bread and milk now thoughso will have to shop tomorrow - could make bread in breadmaker I suppose but I'd have trouble getting milk without milking one of my fv cows - if only they were real LOL - now theres a thought - brown cows give chocolate milk - milkshake every day OH DEAR - I really do need to get out more LOL LOL LOL. At least it's amusing me for free!!

You're doing well on your NSDs again. I must confess to spending some money, I bought a new cassette adapter so I can use my iPod in the car as the other one broke. It was not a necessity but its really nice to have, and only cost £1.49 from ebay and I paid for it from Paypal ie money I'd earnt on ebay. Does that excuse it ? I also got my haircut yesterday which cost an awful lot more than that, and was proper cash. It might be an expensive month!

I've not got a facebook account - partly because my kids have banned me so I don't see what they're up to, but mostly because I already spend so many hours in front of a computer screen.

Good to hear you sounding a little more cheerful...

Milann- I agree don't think I have ever managed that many!

Blew it today - defo not a nsd - managed to blow £40 in Morrisons - some I needed like bread and milk - NOT so sure about 5 bottles of bubble bath (It was on offer!!!!!!!) Ah well - 9/12 still isn't too bad and I should manage a few more this week now I have bread in the freezer and enough milk to see me through the week. It has gone on my reward cc which I will pay off at the end of the month.

My kids aren't on facebook LOL - maybe I'd be an embarrassment to them CBM - (whenever I type in your initials I think of chocolate - but it was CDM - Cadbury's Dairy Milk - ahhhhh - now I want some LOL) Bet the hair is looking stunning too.

Think I might be looking at Mr T's vouchers for days out this year rather than save them for Christmas like I usually do.

3 days to breaking up - it has gone very quickly, but has been a short term. Haven't checked it out yet but bet there will be a long term coming up to make up for it.

Had really heavy snow at lunchtime playtime today - kids loved it - I loved the fact it looked pretty for about an hour then MELTED yay!!

Hi milann - I found the days out vouchers were really handy last year - I went to a couple of places with them and then still had change for this year... so that was good!

Glad the snow melted. I must make sure I get a new sick note next week - as mine runs out... Was originally due to take some holiday next week anyway! OH is off Wed-Fri which should be nice... If I can find my leftover vouchers -will hopefully get to use them next week.

days out with vouchers sounds good.Don't be hard on yourself about not having a NSD as you needed stuff.There will be plenty more NSDS.

I went into Morrisons on Tuesday - parked there when I had my haircut and went in for some dishwash tablets half price. Came out with quite a lot they had some fab offers on spent £11.05 - missed the bubble bath . I haven't shopped this week, so the 'top up shop' was handy.

Half term seems to have come really quickly, lucky you having half term already. Have you got any plans?
