    Does getting gas and electric for the meter class as a spend?? if it does i've had a spend day :(

    I would not count it as its an essential. I'm not counting anything that comes out of DDs.

    First thing, many apologies if I have missed or misplaced folk from The List :o As you can see--with so many lovely peeps coming to join our Happy Place--I have had to split the names over two posts now :j so could you have a quick squizz & just let me know if you're where you'd like to be? Thanks to Taka & Tootti for exposing a possible hiccup :T

    Hi BigMummaF - happy new year to you and yours btw!

    Could you put my target up to 12 for January please?

    Thank you!:A

    Weather is absolutely naff again today, I don't know where all this snow is coming from! :confused: So I am refusing to leave the house. :D Will have to do food shop tomorrow so today might be my only NSD of the weekend.
    All the coffee in Columbia won't make me a morning person... :D:p

    Yesterday was NSD number one, went visiting then just vegged out at home :D Today's going to be a spending one though as I've got to get fuel for the car and stuff for my lunches for heading back to work.

    the weather gets no better up this way - the good part of that being that it's difficult to get out to spend any money...so, 2 for 2 thus far in January!

    Dragon starts to hum "Well the weather outside is frightful, but the fire is so delightful" etc! Been out to do the laundry (which I don't count as a spend!) and it is now snowing again so that is me inside for the rest of the day (and staying off Amazon!) so claiming #2 please MummaF!
    Do not meddle in the affairs of Dragons, for thou art crunchy and good with catsup :D
