You typed the words right out of my head curly girl (though I'm veggie so it's minus the chicken and replace the wine with a couple of bottles of beer for me!)

But today I gave those pesky supermarkets a big swerve! I hope you've now polished of the wine and the chocolate mousse - no point letting go to waste now it's by your side !

My sentiments exactly, nicca, if the wine and chocolate mousse have made an effort to jump into your basket and come home with you, it would be very rude not to polish them off:rotfl:

Hi lovely peeps
You’ve been busy avoiding those nasty shops again I can see... (well, apart from curlygirl who is now in the naughty corner) :rotfl::rotfl:

Hope your back has recovered from the visit to Mr T - I hate that place:mad:

boultdj: low spend day’s not bad at all.... hmmm.. can I drink fast enough to do a runner - probably, can I run - yes, in flat shoes, not sure about my pink platform boots though, might have to rethink the outfit and get some of LfV’s shiny pink flatties.. Update - well done for no 11:j - you’re doing fantastically well - only one more to go, keeping my fingers crossed for you;)
slowlyfading: well done for no 16:j - if you keep going like this you’ll beat your second target as well - brilliant!

blueelephanttrunk: yay to no 3 :j- well done, nearly at your target now - but you do have an added incentive not to spend now, that’s the only good part about having no money, I guess.:( Good luck for the rest of the week

karmachilovething: yay -:j well done for no 5 - well over halfway towards target now!! Low spend day yesterday isn’t bad either

BDINI: :Athanks for the rhubarb cake recipe - it looks good. Going to try that at the weekend
pure dead dopey: that’s not a very flattering description of yourself really, I’m sure you don’t look anything like a “small plump goblin hunched over like a humpback bridge groaning like a drain”.:rotfl: Hope work went OK, that your back is getting better and that the aliens kept you in check (and helped with your back):)
rachelmk: :(oh dear, but at least it was only a little spend
JES_F1: another one with a low spend:( - could have been much worse though!
anonymoose: ooooh Cadbury World, like slowlyfading I’ve always wanted to go there (but daren’t for fear of trying to eat the whole place:o..). Is it good? Fingers crossed you’ll get to your target by the end of the week:)..
cw18: more whoopsies again today - brilliant bargains again!:) Hope you manage to get by tomorrow without having to buy yet more milk:(....
Nottoobadyet: if you enjoyed the meal with your friend, then it’s worth losing an NSD for that.:) You’ll get there - lots more possible NSDs and only 8 more to go - you can do it!!:)
curlygirl: take yourself off to the naughty corner straight away!!!:rotfl: Oh dear, even you, our hard-core NSDer can’t eat turkey with chilblains on - yuk!!!:eek: Seems like you enjoyed your unexpected delicious meal so well done you - and please can I have a glass of wine?:p Enjoy your evening tomorrow - we all have to spoil ourselves once in a while and you’re doing really well otherwise:A..

No NSD for me today, had to get a few bits, but low spend, so pleased with that.

Off to update the front page again, so see all you lovely people tomorrow.

Morning all! Made it another NSD yesterday, taking me up to 11 !! Im going to have another today which will mean I hit my target - I'll confirm this tomorrow though! Not counting my chickens...........
I love catching up on the posts, really cheer me up!
Curlygirl - your feast sounded fab, yum! I might make a choc mousse this week, havent made one for years, why not I ask myself?

Happy Birthday BDINI, hope youre not suffering too much this morning,

Everyone else - have a great day, we're all doing really well I think !

chris81418

Morning All

Didn't manage an NSD yesterday as had to have a coffee and muffin for medicinal purposes, even the aliens didn't complain. Won't have one to-day as have to pick up doggie treats and biccies as will be near the most megacheap shop in the world for this. Thanks for all the good wishes, back feels a bit better and I',m afraid I do look like a goblin but have managed to stop the groaning, people were looking, fancy???

Bummer no NSD for me, to be honest have lost count this month AGAIN ooops. Didn't help it was OH's 40th bday but back on track as of today apart from milk buying!!

elfen

I am hoping today is another NSD, as I don't need to buy anything - have taken a little change out of my pot to buy a drink with if my water runs out...as there's nowhere to refill it round here - so it doesn't count as it's money I didn't spend anyway and will only be about 50p tops

Hiya :wave:

End of a long shift at work... settled in with glass of vino blanco *slurp slurp* and a quick post to report NSD No. 13/20 today :A

Keep going everyone :T

and the best thing.....

the blurb says this.....

• Revolutionary, soft touch, silent outer shell Good-good..don't want to miss the words to Agadoo. Wouldn't be right to shove my coffee when I'm supposed to grind the pineapple...
  
• Unique thermal construction for extra warmth :cool: Can get chilly around the Gorbols I hear, speshlly around kicking-out time..
  
• Removable braces :jquick-change so I can't be identified in a line-up!
  
• Adjustable velcro gusset:eek: Just had a thought, if they are waterproof waders why would you want a hole in the gusset? I'm keeping shtoom, or I shall be asked to leave :silenced: Surely that defeats the object of being waterproof, I mean, a hole lets in water doesn't it? Or am I really missing the point here....Thinka-bow-tit! Leotards? Swim cossies? Cat-suits? The queue for the Ladies is always killer, without wrestling with your wardrobe choice once you do reach the throne!

Perhaps it's being a female of a certain age & especially after several childbirths, that waterproof anything seems more of an advantage, shall I say :whistle: The bit that really tickled me, was it's a 'silent outer shell' but there's nothing noisier than opening velcro :rotfl:Can you imagine the startled fisher-folk, when the peace of the river-bank is shattered by that sssshhhrrrrrrrrriiiiickk & they turn to see you ferreting around yer nether regions

I only found out a couple of months ago, that it apparently Law that places HAVE to give you free water fit for human consumption, upon request! I'd guess that's places that serve refreshment of some sort, but ought to see if I can find the official wording Me muvva has to take tablets & it's ridiculous to have to pay two quid for 500ml of water just to do so :mad: particularly as we're eating there too. To be fair, there's only two places that have said they don't have "suitable" water so she just waited for her cuppa to cool a bit.

Apping Bipdee BDINI _party_ --hope the coming year brings you more Happiness than you could possibly know what to do with :T SIZE=1]Anyone else tempted to rename our pal Bindy? I'm always wanting to put that..[/SIZE

Stocking up on feeding the family yesterday so a SD for me. Pup was playing last night & knocked my empty cup off a side table & it broke in spectacular fashion It was one of those smoked glass mugs & an exact replacement for the one that had dropped about 10 yrs ago, so a really good investment of under 50p. I do/did like my cuppa from them but have a cupboard full of others so--do I buy another duplicate, or be really mse & use what's already here? I'm managing today with the delicate bone china effort I bought for when me muvva comes round but in this house, we like having our 'own' mug What would you do? Annoyingly I was only looking at the posh green ones for 39p in the blue-&-yellow shop a couple of months back; tempted, thought about it, decided to be mse & only buy the excellent rubber gloves that I'd gone in there for :doh:--but a branch of that place is almost 2hrs drive away & really not worth the fuel just for a cup. Oh why do I live in the back of beyond :cry:

You lot are all utterly crazy and totally lovely!! Haven't been on here for a couple of days, have quickly read through about 10 pages with a smile on my face! Of course you're all invited to the wedding - crazy hats will be compulsorary for any NSDers (especially the boys), you've got to out-do my future mother-in-law in style Bonus points for charity shop/ebay finds!

Just a quick post top report that Monday was number 11 - I'm trying my hardest to get to an even number before I disappear up north this weekend though. Glad to see everyone is on good form and doing will, I'll be back to say bye before we go!
