    Oh my--you lot are so generous! It's a good job you can't see thru other peeps monitors cuz all there would be from this side is a huge blob glowing like a second sun :eek: I didn't expect the response I've had from asking if another poster would like to take over for a while :o but I am extremely flattered & most humbled that you should think so highly of me. Thank you for giving my flagging esteem a boot up the behind. *waves a week's worth of broadsheet newspapers in order to cool very red face*

    So folks--here you go; November's thread is now open for business!

    Yay! Thanks for the November thread BigMummaF :beer: All compliments to you greatly deserved! :A

    This has helped me focus so much and quelled all known excuses as to why I can't take a packed lunch to work!
    This has been a NSW (No Spend Week) for me so far! :T Very pleased! Looks like today might be the last NSD for October but will try for tomorrow and Saturday.
    Managed 11 out of my target of 12 NSD's for my first attempt :T

    Good luck all for the last couple of days x

    I managed another yesterday, so am well & truly into double figures at last!

    *If anyone fancies taking the reins for next month, please do holler :D The only reason I've been starting them is to keep the thread going, as I feel it does help focus the mind a bit & would hate to see it disappear into the ether. I don't mind continuing, but fear you'll get fed up with me at sometime :rotfl:


    As long as you are happy to continue, then that's great :T as you are a natural 'Guardian of NSDs' :Abut if you need a break then make it very clear & I'm sure someone will be happy to take over for a bit. In the meantime thank you very much

    two more NSDs taking me to 15 - that will be me for the month as tomorrow and Saturday will be spend days! But that is my 12 that I hoped to get done ... well done! and seeing as MummaF didn't actually take me down from my usual 15 I ahve hit that target as well :rotfl:
