    Im declaring early today - that's no 8 for me today. :jWent for lunch with my chum and she paid- how lovely! No plans to spend anymore today as I will be heading stright home . See ya tomorrow all!:j


    you will always be rich enough to be generous.
  • Well done to everyone for their NSDs:T. Claiming NSD 9 today. Slowlyfading's record is safe as I have to go shopping on Friday so maximum in a row I can get is 6! :T That's nearly a week!

    Don't know how I'm doing it with the kids off though. I'm lucky they don't expect too much from me I suppose. They're happy to play in the garden/Wii/DS with their wrestling toys at the moment. We do go out to the park/walk dog but they know money is tight so don't really ask for that much that involves spending money. My little :A:A:As!

    DH has just started a new business so he is not here at the moment when other holidays he would have been. I think they are finding that tough as we don't have the car to go out in and we have to walk everywhere.
    :idea: Reading that back I've just realised why I'm not going out and spending money!teacher.gif

    Might ruin an NSD at the weekend and treat them to chinese or pizza to thank them (although we did order them a new trampoline last Friday to replace their old one which is rusted and the enclosure ripped to pieces). Can't wait to see their faces as they have no idea about it.
    Life is knowing which bridges to burn and which bridges to build! :think:


  • No NSD for me to-day had to put liquid gold in the car to get around and bought a sandwich at lunch cos I was fedup.

    Will have one tomorrow though as am taking client for lunch so the magic company cc springs into action, hoorah!!!!

    No 7 for me today :j. I thought I might have to buy lunch because my friend and her son came for the day, but they brought the bacon, rolls and cakes with them :j:j:j.

    I was almost tempted to have a takeaway tonight, had a lazy day with my friend and couldn't be bothered with cooking, but no I am cooking :T.
    I haven't managed NSD for the past couple of days because I've enrolled on a college course and I've had to buy bits and pieces but hopefully thats it for now.

      Off out for a meal for some work thing in a bit, planning to get there after my supervisor so I don't have to buy my own drink:o
