    Hi lovely NSDers
    Update no 2 for today, some brilliant posts today..:A

    Well done to:
    butdoineedit?: :jyay another one, no 6 now, you’re doing brilliantly :j- well done and it’s great to see you so positive again after the weekend:A.. Thanks for the chocolate cake, it was delicious, and loving the being organised with your spending - you’ve been picking up lots of tips, I can see.:) Thanks, today has been better, not feeling quite so down today, thank goodness. Enjoy your drink after work tomorrow.
    saorsie: :jhalf way now, brilliant, well done for no 9 :j- and, you’re right, you’ll have to tidy that odd number up by trying for another one tomorrow - what an incentive;)..

    And hello to everyone else:
    anonymoose: oooh, hope you do get another one tomorrow:) - loving all these NSDs rolling in. Isn’t it strange how we all used to spend loads of time and money in shops and now we’re all frantically trying to avoid spending at all. Another one not keen on odd numbers, well you’ll definitely have to get one tomorrow them;)
    slowlyfading: and more incentive for you to get the next one to even things up as well..;)
    3Dogs: arrgh to a ruined NSD for the sake of a pint of milk :eek:- murphy’s law there, definitely... Roll on Saturday and you can even up your number as well;)
    LadyfromVenice: oh dear to 3bay:(.... hoping someone outbids you on the second one..
    Oooh words beginning with “c”.....:j chips, crisps and chocolate, definitely BDINI, how about crumpets as well and chocolate biscuits (bit of a cheat that one):j - apologies to any dieters amongst us:(
    cw18: hoping the op goes well for you, and hope your eye is much better afterwards and it’s all worth it.:)
    More bargains today, I see, that is one heck of a saving you got today, brilliant and well worth losing an NSD for.:) That list is making me hungry.... you’ve nearly got enough stock to open your own little shop now.;)

    Well I’m stuck on 10 for today - grocery shop this morning. Returned in a bad mood (I hate Tesco) and had the black cloud over my head for most of the day..... Stuck to my list rigidly though, so pleased about that.:) Will escape 10 tomorrow to head for the dizzy heights of 11 and have to get another one on Saturday to get to the nice round figure of 12...

    Off to update the front page again, looking good.

    ‘night all

    Am trying for a NSD today, no plans to go to shops.
    Still knitting away,Im on my second wee hat and I'm enjoying doing it! Think I'll just stay put today and knit, read and do a bit of washing/ironing. Tomorrow Im doing a stock up at Costco - I love going there! My month for April GC has ended as I get paid on Monday and Im a whopping £50 under budget.:j I put this down to meal planning, list making and concentrating on NSD's! They def stop me spending willy nilly and Im "making do" more. So far I've not felt deprived of anything, still have our wee treats etc.:D
    Have paid the balance of our hols this morning though - but Im not counting that as it was a planned/scheduled payment. We're off in 4 weeks time to a lodge in my fave place up the West Coast of Scotland, cant wait!!:)

    Have a lovely day all, it's sunny here, hooray!:)

    I'm using THIS catalogue for inspiration; at the moment I'm drawn to the one on the right, but know I always end up looking like t'other one, no matter how I try :o Still, after a few sherries, it always improves :rotfl:

    Good Luck with your op cw; must be a Friday thing cuz I'm taking me muvva for a consult this morning, to see if her cataract is ready *shudders*. It's the thought of having to listen to her mithering on about "never seeing the same doctor twice" & "nnooooeee, we haven't got time for a cuppa I suppose sad-smiley-066.gif--you get back to those kids & cook their tea--hi'll be awl-right :( *heavy stage sigh*" when she knows full well the "kids" are old enough & ugly enough to get a pie out of the fridge without me there :wall:

    That cake was amazing :eek:--d'ya mean someone made it? Recipes please :D --I didn't realise we had a patisserie dept [reading the back of the box *gets magnifying glass* errmm--whoohoo :j s'only 246 cals per tonne :T] as I'd just logged on & found a little piece of divine scrumptiousness waiting for me :drool: & of course, I shared my portion :whistle:


    To business! No 9 if you please Mistress of the Numbers :p

    A bit late on counting yesterday as an NSD!

    Free lunch again at work today (these things are like buses, eh... ), but it wont be as I have a dentist appointment in the afternoon. Absolutely terrified on that, hopefully I can find a prescription anxiety drug abuser in my office who will lend me something! (kidding... sort of)
