    My parents had cake in! So I got to eat cake and have an NSD yesterday.

    Am aiming for another one today, but really need to do a food shop tomorrow.

    Still only on 2, didn't do very well over the weekend but had fun spending it! Back onto the straight and narrow today, so hopefully today will be number 3 - will report back later if I get chance. Hope you've all had a lovely Easter. I've hidden my eggs as there is no chance I'll fit into my wedding dress if I start eating chocolate again.

    Long day of housework ahead, boring but the price I have to pay for doing nothing for the last two days!

    Nice to see BigMummaF back, and thanks to Spoon for updating the first page totals! xx
    Trying to jump back onto the moneysaving wagon .... :cool:

    Hi BigMumma
    WELCOME BACK - we've missed you. Not had time or inclination to reciprocate..more later ;)

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

    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:Moi :whistle:
    katenut survived her hen party weekend without spending anything:j
    karenccs67 is sitting on her hands today to try to avoid online shopping I should too, but I just can't find the specific thing I'm after, around here :(

    We seem to have lots of newbies HiYa :wave: 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 Where can I find those then...

    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:No! I wouldn't :angry:

    Think that's the update for now. OK--thanx!

    "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
    What's the troll thread about then confused-smiley-011.gifA friend went to Norway & I asked her to bring me back a Nordic warrior--she gave me a postcard of a Troll laugh.gif
    As for the nudge-nudge ;);) surrounding the * above..let's just say I've been helping a certain officer with his enquiries wink3.gif & just using poota probs to cover up my being in very protected custardy..and creamy..and chocolate body painty..oooh ossifferr :eek:
    So Yep! Count me in! I've always wondered if it's true about Scotsmen & kilts :rotfl:

    My first nsd yesterday too. Go Mu-mma! Go Mu-mma!

  • Welcome back Mumma:j:j

    and yes it is absolutely true about what's under the kilts..................

    now if you're all going to come to Glasgow, don't want you grabbing any passing man in a kilt to check, we'll be back to getting arrested.................:eek::eek:

    ps another one for me to-day, have you seen that weather? I'm not going anywhere that involves going out.

    Hi elfen and well done for no 1:j

    Hi chris81418, and well done for 2 - brilliant work:j

    Hi micron, well done on no 2 :j. Declutter..... what was that again.... can I borrow you when you've finished your house? That's really nice of you, thanks, it isn't much work though, tbh, I have a very organised mind (just not a very organised house unfortunately:o).

    Solventspoon, I'd love to say I'm good at decluttering but I sure do struggle with it. Managed to get a bit done yesterday but feel like I have created more "mess". At least I had a NSD No. 3 yesterday and will continue decluttering today so it is a stay at home day again and NSD No. 4 today - yippee!!:j

    Everyone is doing so well with their NSD days that it keeps me inspired not to go out and spend - I'm actually loving not spending money.. now that says something!

    Have a great day everyone.:)

    NSD number 3 for me yesterday :j

    Had to go to SW this morning though, so £4.95 for that. I have been going for over a year and thought until today it was £4.50 per week, which demonstrates perfectly how little notice I've been taking of my expenditure :o Lost 1lb though, so came away happy :D

    Also popped into Tesco for a bottle of wine and some grapes, total £7.99, but very deliberately didn't mooch around for other carp to buy and averted my eyes from the chocolate :A

    CC's at :idea:24/03/10 [STRIKE]£10,677[/STRIKE] £8,619;
