  • Have to start the lessons in the Scottish language,:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl: firstly and very important a poke in Scotland is a bag as in :rotfl::rotfl:

    gonnaegeeusapokeochipshen translates to young lady could you give me a bag of chips?

    an ice cream cornet is a pokey hat

    more lessons to follow, its a whole new languaage but the bag one is very important, have been caught out with friends from south of the Border with that one before, they thought everyone was propositioning them:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:
    More than Two Years in

    Doing it the Niddy way:j:j:j

  • Yesterday was NSD3 :j

    Had a little spend this morning and hoping to be good this weekend ;)
  • not going to manage an NSD today which is a shame :( as this is my first month of trying going to remain philisophical (sp?) reckon NSD's are a bit like dieting, when you fall off the wagon got to get straight back on. Every day is a new day!!!

    wishing you all a happy day!!! :rotfl:

    Priceless! Though I don't want to scare any of you off! And I'm guessing you'll only be able to see it if you have a Facebook. (Actually, you might need to be my friend to get to it... please let me know if I need to remove the link!)

    I've run out of milk :(. And I'm taking a friend to Ikea later today.

    I will not spend any money. I will not spend any money. I will not spend any money.

    I want NSD 2. I want NSD 2. I want NSD 2.

    Deep breathes... wish me luck!

    Been shopping unfortunately but did quite well.....
    • Got 2 ring binders and 2 lots of plastic wallets for school/uni from Wilkos for £2 (all on offer)
    • 2 big shower gels for £2 in Pound shop
    • Dove deodorant and McCleans whitening toothpaste in cheap shop for £2.19
    • 9 toilet rolls from Farm Foods for £2
    • 12 cans of Pepsi Max for school next week from Farm Foods for £2.75
    So a grand total of £10.94 but I think I got quite a bit for the money?
    I normally just chuck it all in the trolley in the supermarket so hope I've saved quite a bit by trawling round a few shops?
    Also put petrol in but that's from a different budget - £1.21 a litre!:eek::eek::eek:

    Hi - I could see it without logging into my FB account and no I didn't need to be your friend (that sounds awful!)

    Ikea.....hmmm.....is there anyway you can avoid the 'Market Place'? I find that the toughest........and Meatballs for the freezer........and a hotdog for the walk to the car

    Hi Curlygirl

    I think leaving my purse at home is going to be the only way!

    I've wanted a photo frame for a picture for ages and keep forgetting to measure it. And I've loads of little post cards that I want to frame. And I've killed most of my house plant so I need more to torture...

    My friend wants files and stuff for her uni work, so I'm guessing the market place is exactly where she wants to go...

    Yes - purse at home! (maybe that way, my friend will buy me an ice cream :D) It's will be the only way to save me from myself!

    It's ok, I'm on here way more than I'm on facebook :D. We can be MSE friends and have a blast in Glasgow on the 30th ;) And thanks for letting me know the link worked :).

    So far SO NSD!!!!:j Hopefully an unexpected NSD today. Just been for lunch with my Mum and Dad and my sis and my Dad paid!!:) Lovely. :)Then my sis and I went for a wee walk round he High St and she bought me a gorgeous necklace out of the blue! There is a lovely shop where they make really pretty things and of course we had to go in for a look. She said " just choose something, I'll treat you!" How nice was that? I was well chuffed!:) No plans to spend on anything else today!
    On the other hand.............
    My poor OH got sent home sick from work and is in bed feeling dizzy and bilious -yuK:( Wont let me make appt for doc though, so will just see how it goes. Means no cooking for me tonight tho as Im full after my lunch and he doesnt feel like eating obviously. ( Is that VERY selfish of me?);)


    you will always be rich enough to be generous.
