    Hi everyone

    curlygirl: well done for 2 so far:j but :eek: to passport and hairdressers. I'm not going to lecture you about hairdressers, I have difficult hair as well and need a good cut, so will spend on that happily:). Not sure about the Jackie Onassis bouffant though:eek:. Oh, and thanks for the well done:A

    Hi BigMumma
    WELCOME BACK - we've missed you.

    As you can see, everyone's in fine fettle and getting lots of NSDs.

    curlygirl is organising our next virtual night out - we're thinking about Glasgow this time as we can't possibly go back to Newcastle after your behaviour on the Tyne bridge with that young policeman and a pair of knickers:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl: if you come to the next one you must behave:rotfl::rotfl:
    katenut survived her hen party weekend without spending anything:j
    karenccs67 is sitting on her hands today to try to avoid online shopping

    We seem to have lots of newbies on here this month (including two more refugees from the troll thread, 3Dogs and niccatw:))

    Lots of peeps doing decorating at the moment, and loads of inventive ways to not spend any money - top of my list at the moment is micron who used a former employer's car park for fee parking :j

    Oh.. and certain peeps have had to be told off for using the "f" word - I told them you wouldn't be impressed:rotfl::rotfl:

    Think that's the update for now.

    "Spoon" is down to Numpty Monkey on the troll thread (as most things are:)) who misread my name and thought it was solventspoon (no idea why either). Since then, I've been "spoon" on there and it seems to have stuck. :D:D

    Well done for no 2 pure dead dopey, :jaliens eating too much chocolate is clearly working for you:)
    Some people might say that all of us talk complete rubbish on here - but that wouldn't be very kind:)

    Today has been a BIG spend day for me. Had a karate competition, £65 in total spent on getting into venue & entry fees! Anyway, DS1 got a first place in his kumite (sparring) section :jand DS2 managed to score four points in the same section (he's only five, bless his little cotton socks).

    DD managed second place after getting hit in the face and her nose bled (little trouper) and I messed up my kata but came second in the kumite. Yay me.:T

    Was only a small competition but am very proud of them all. Must get back on the NSD trail. Could I borrow some aliens please?
    Life is knowing which bridges to burn and which bridges to build! :think:
