Hiya folks another NSD for today so there are some good things about working on a bank hol. With time-and-a-half too I ain't complaining. Hope you are all well and not too stuffed with choccy, I've had to eat all my eggs to remove the temptation - terrible being forced to eat chocolate

Hi all :hello:

I'm going to declare today NSD #2 :j

Not going anywhere now for the rest of the day and refusing to buy DH his bday pressie online until I'm already having a spend day for other things :rotfl:Hoping for a NSD tomorrow too as I have to spend Wednesday.

Solventsoon - Hope you had a fun time out for OH's bday!

I know it's already the 5th April but can I join from todays date please..? I did do this a few months ago but I lapsed badly and I really need to keep an eye on the coffers now big time.

I'm aiming for 15 days (more if I possible!)

ooh today has been a NSD

Thankies xxx

JES_F1

My third NSD in a row!

:j:j

Nearly popped to the corner shop for a paper but decided to contine sorting out some bits and pieces at home instead. I'd've probably bought more than just a paper, particularly if they were selling cheap Easter eggs!!!!

:rotfl:

Hey BigMumma - good to have you back :j Declaring another NSD today making it #3. Was a bit fearful that would have to buy dog food however popped into work for a couple of hours (double time of course very :money:) and there was loads of leftovers just hanging about so hounds have dined handsomely this evening and have a further scrummy concoction tomorrow for breakfast - mmmmmmm yum!

Loving the updated front page Spoon - thanks for all your hard wrk x

butdoineedit?

Well i didn't manage a NSD, but i knew that as i needed shopping.
The good thing is that i came in well inside my £20 grocery budget only spent £15.17. Yay go me, & that left enough over for a quick drink whilst watching the footy :beer:

Need ebay packing stuff tomorrow, so am aiming to have my next one on Wednesday.

Thanks loads to everyone on the thread, all the encouragement is definitely helping me to think more about my spending!!

Gosh I felt as If I've been away for AGES. Have been keeping abreast of the news and everyone's NSD's via my phone but quite honestly typing out replies on that thing is just ridiculous which is why I've nbot been updating my NSD's (Naughtygirl). Anyway back with beloved laptop tonight. Phew

So yes, The Big Night Out in Glasgow - hope plenty of you are up for it, especially LadyfromVenice - our very own Bruce Lee just incase we're ambushed from the north by maurading highlanders (Please god.......). In terms of dates - how does the 30th fit everyone's diaries? By that point in the month we should have a good idea of what we can afford and who needs to stay at home.

PureDeadDopey - do you live in Glasgow - how are you fixed for putting us all up? Am sure we wouldn't take up much room - or eat hardly anything for brekkie, but in the spirit of MSE it would be fab to avoid B&B costs. (Also do you think you could have a word with your council and get Glasgow Bridge closed down for the night - might be safer if BigMummaF's curfew has ended and she is able to join us)

Hi BigMumma, WELCOME BACK - we've missed you.

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:

Actually on second thoughts BigMummaF...............please behave badly - it's sooooo funny when you do. So glad you are back on the thread.......the world is in equilibrium again Although to be honest I don't think one of us lost a nights sleep knowing we were being watched over by Spoon.

Oh yes NSD Report. Yesterday was a NSD but today had to get Petrol and also bought (sin of all sins) a burger from the corner shop (cheaper cooking it myself rather than takeaway) when I got back to my house from being away at BF's all weekend this evening. Am I forgiven?

So this brings me to 3/17

Lollypop75

Today is number 3! Fantastic!!! I am feeling quite proud of myself. I think this week will be quite good, too.

LadyfromVenice

Hiiiiiiiiiiii ya!

Woke up with sore arm today, was kicked really hard during comp.:( I'm a petite 5ft 3 and everybody else was slightly bigger (IYKWIM;):)). Couldn't persuade DH to do ironing today though!

Looking forward to our night out in Glasgow. The 30th is good for me Curlygirl. Haven't been that far north before, get nervous when I get past King's Lynn. (Do I need a passport?;)) Does everybody look like Mel Gibson up there? Would prefer Ewan McGregor....

Mauraders in kilts....Mmmmmm....

Bruce Lee barechested, yes, with those baggy trousers, definite no-no.

Oh sorry, forgot why I posted...No NSD today but hopefully I'm now spent out for the week so here's to tomorrow
