I feel a right fraud but yesterday was another NSD 4/5 for me. It's not normally this easy, honest!Start Date: 27/11/2010
Padding: Day 42
Target £8000
Amount: £562.230 -
T'was a NSD for me yesterday and will be a NSD today also.........snowed in.
After being a wuss before xmas and not going into work due to very bad ice I thought this morning I would show willing and try my best. I spent 30 mins shovelling snow from the drive (not kidding). I have a desk job and don't do much exercise at the moment so the shovelling made me break out into a sweat - I'd started off fully kitted up in thermals, hat, gloves, coat and ended up stripping off down to shorts and a bikini top (now I'm kidding). I think it counts as 30 mins Cardio-vascular don't you? :j
Anyway I then got the call to say 'work from home'......which is why I'm rambling about irrelevant stuff - 9am and I'm already lonely
Incidentally for those suffering with Ice then kitty litter is a really good gritter - esp when mixed with salt. Morrisons do a 10kg bag for £1.29 so that works out cheaper by the KG than kitchen salt. Just don't sprinkle it on your chips. :eek:0 -
just dropping in to say 2 days for me so far this month (not had internet access until today to report)
Should be an ok month for me to hit my target......I have no money LOLDFW 228 LONG H 68

3rd NSD for me
Not just that, earned an extra £188.67!
Sorry i just wanted to share, im finally doing something right!
Fantastic extra earnings rictus!
It was my 3rd NSD yesterday. It's already been a SD today but I'm quite pleased it was only £26.69 and that should be enough to see us through until next weekly shop. I don't fancy driving in this weather so I topped up at the local shop instead of going to a supermarket :T0 -

I managed my target in December.
Put me down for 7 in January.
Foiled today because I had to take a train to work. Local roads were impassable but I'll make up for it later in the month.
Happy New Year to everyone and best of luck with whatever your plans, goals or targets are. Keep the head up, keep working and you will get there.0 -

Hi all,
Didn't manage to get on here yeterday to report back but managed another NSD and will also get one today as we're snowed in (again!) and not going anywhere. I'm really starting to love snow now!!
Great to hear that everyone's finding inventive ways of making NSDs - surprising what we can find in the cupboards for meals when we think about it...
Keep going everyone, let's see if we can all make our targets this month.
Hope you're managing to stay warm.The time you enjoy wasting is not wasted time
