    I can be out down for 12 NSDs this month.

    Both February and March have been very disappointing months NSD wise and I really need to get back in the habit now so I can get on top of the finances again.

    Thanks.

    Can you put me down for 12 please.

    I won't quite make my March target and I'm away for a few days at the beginning of the month so I think this is realistic.

    Thanks

    Hya Solventsoon, you are doing a grand job!

    Can you please put me down for 15 NSDs in April..surely to goodness I will manage it this month!!

    I am off to declare my March total of 11 out of 15...pretty good considering the manic month we had!

    At least April should calm down. DS2 has his week-long rugby tournament starting this Friday...and we only need to take hime there and go along to the three matches. Only 1 hour away, so much better than the traipse up to Scotland (not that I mind going "home" north of the border...but every weekend.:eek:)

    Then "poor" DS2 has to forget rugby (it'll never happen!) and knuckle down and revise for his AS Levels...he's not looking forward to that at all!! :D

    Well..after lots humming and hawing, I at last hung out the washing..and the rain has now decided to tipped it down...typical!!! If I had put it out when it was only a few "sprinkles" then it would all have dried nicely...now I have to haul it all in and re-spin it...AAAARGH! :mad::mad:

    Oh for a garage with a pulley!!...(oh for a garage! :D)

    Off to trudge to the washing line in the rain...hhmmmpphfff!

    Wait...the rain has stopped and the sun is out...there is hope for the washing yet! :)

    I do like April showers most of the time...but really annoying when you are trying to get washing dried!

    Rant over...going to investigate DS1's Cheese & Onoin toasties...smells nice! ;)!
