    Hello there

    I joined in January but you still need to add me to the list. It was harder doing this than i thought - need to break the habit of not spending little ammounts each day.

    Can you put me down for 6 NSD's this month

    Best Wishes All

    Oops--sorry sad-smiley-065.gif--there was a dodgy couple of days where a few folk were left off..shoulda shouted at me! I'm big enuff ta take it costumed-smiley-047.gif
    It is really scary how easy you can spend isn't it :o Me muvva lost her keys the other day & we thought we'd only been to three shops till I actually mentally 'retraced' our route :eek: Thankfully someone had found them & handed them in to a shop so she's OK now, but I was totally surprised that my "couple of stops" was more than double the initial count :(
    Well done Peedie, they're a really nice lot here with lots of friendly words!!
    Aww..bless ya :heart2:..all the better for you being here too Rubie :)& Welcome indeedy to our New Friends. Post as often as you like & anything you find helpful or interesting or just funny!, please do share :D
    I'm going to update The List now, so please have a squizz at it every now & again in case I get it wrong again...seem to manage a muck-up at least once a month, so I'm relying on yooze lot to keep me sorted OK?

    I'm going to be brave (or foolish?) and increase my target to 12 NSDs. I managed 10 quite easily in January and would've got more if I'd tried, I kinda got complacent once I'd reached my target though!
