    Planning on a little spend today cos dd school has got book fair in and she wants a book - to go with the thousands of others she has - but she is a real bookworm so don't feel I can deny her. She already has her limit out of the library as well and has at least 1 in each room so she can read wherever she is!

    Morning all. I managed number 9 yesterday, despite walking to the library which is in our town centre nestled in amongst all the lovely shops :j

    In fact I forgot to take my purse with me at all & even started to have a little panic until I realised that I didn't actually need it :D:D

    I'm off to buy soap powder and stuff very cheaply from the staff shop at a local factory today so won't be hitting my NSD target - but am going to try hard to get number 10 on Friday.

    Hi everyone!
    I made it ! NSD yesterday so that's my target met - 12 :j:T:j:T
    I'm delighted!!

    Keiss - I know what you mean, I'm finding Im spending loads of time on here, so I'm trying to limit to twice a day!

    Spoon the hats are fab - lovin the fruity number!

    Katenut - have a wonderful day on Sat - looking forward to hearing all about it and how you managed to do it on a shoestring. I'll be the one fighting Spoon for the banana hat - I get like that after a couple of Babychams!

    Thanks everyone for all your great posts - they sure do cheer you up!:T

    Today I'm planning a small spend - milk, dog chews, some fruit and a bunch of flowers as a wee treat! The key word here is PLAN - something I never did before!


    you will always be rich enough to be generous.

    ....Nevermind, to make up for it, I'm going to go right on there now and find some hats for your wedding Katenut! Ooh I :heartsmil hats! Perhaps I should treat mesen to a new one....arrrgh! WottamIsaying Christo_pull_hair.gif

    (Any-one going to the wedding who doesn't want to make the trip all the way back down south only to come up again next weekend, can stay at mine. Or bring a tent, there's a couple of massive parks nearby. The weather's been dry!)
    HHhmm--sounds like a plan...I'll have to sort out a sleeping bag & find the pump for the blow-up mattress--pencil me in for 'tea, milk no sugar & a bowl of bran flakes & figs' please :D While we're talking about all of this *stands on suedette poofy & whistles shepherd-style* is there anyone close by LfV, cuz she's got NO-BODY to travel with boom-boom [see p.47 post 929] *climbs down & fetches 6" nail & tin of spaghetti hoops to re-attach fringing*

    I think Chris would look good in the nana hat, particularly if the skid lid stays on too. Perhaps we should all consider wearing edible titfers, to multi-task on the day. We wouldn't have to worry about falling blood sugars while the photos are being taken & would have something to nibble on while the Happy Couple are signing the register :T

    I don't want to be nosey Dora, but what time does your school open? Oh! Silly me :doh:..you're in detention from evening classes again, arn't you! What have you done this time--you really must stop playing kiss-chase with Leonardo :naughty: Mrs di Caprio wants her son to learn how to make salsa, not dance it!

    Shopping wiv Muvva today but I really don't care cuz I've reached Target bis.gif I shall be signing autographs behind the ticket machine in the small car park from noon next Tuesday.

    Didn't have one yesterday and didn't get doggie food as circumstances overtook me (whizzzz as they go by) BUT hopefully will get one to-day as have a business thingy all day and will be on the lovely company cc. Must look for a hat, something tasteful and elegant and classy. Might be gone some time..................

    Thankyou very much Spoon!! I'm loving all the hats, you're all gonna look amazing :)
    Just quickly packing now, nothing like leaving things til the last minute, leaving for the drive up north in a couple of hours. Will be keeping an eye on you all on my phone but wont be able to post. Will have a nice glass of pink bubbly waiting for you all after we've got hitched!!

    TWO MORE DAYS AND I'LL BE A MRS!!! that is totally terrifying - I do not feel grown up enough!! :eek:
    Trying to jump back onto the moneysaving wagon .... :cool:
