Madness, "May"hem & MoneySaving: Welcome to the NSD Challenge

cw18

Forgot to declare yesterday as an NSD before heading up to see OH -- so that took me to 20, and gained me my dancing banana :T

Today was another NSD, so I'm now on 21/20



As to the Brighton trip tomorrow....... what time is everyone congregating, and where am I likely to find you around 6pm? Can't get there any earlier I'm afraid, as I have to work from 7am until 5pm

Just need to see if I can get my yard broom flight worthy, so I can get there ASAP after I get changed out of my work uniform. Guess I'll be low-level enough for the volcanic ash not to be an issue

Hic...Pesky elephant took a detour so ended up in the pub having a farewell drink with a friend who's leaving town :beer: Back on track now tho should see you all tomorrow.....
I'm the one in the high vis vest atop a pink elephant waving my pint glass around!!!!

Riight Guys - I'm all geared up for Brighton but I hope I don't miss too much of the fun as I don't get away from slimming class until 4.45 pm.

I'm not to sure that my chosen topical mode of transport will get me there before closing time - with all the weight I am going to lose tomorrow at weigh-in (please), I reckon I will just float down with some helium balloons - if they carried that guy over the channel, they should get me to Brighton

What do you think of my chances everyone?????

I think you'll both make a wonderful sight descending onto Brighton beach.

See you both there

Hi lovely NSD gang :A
Well our Brighton outing is well under way now. Elfen has been terrorising the old folks of Brighton on the golf buggy, katenut is holding up all the traffic on the A12 with her parade of donkeys, Nargle’s Harley has broken down and pdd is still molesting poor Hubert!! Tomorrow should be a riot!!!!:j

Im off this week so Im planning a good start to June! Im going to try and get a bit of cooking/baking done for freezer and of course knitting!! Getting there gradually with the cardi - my crutch( Mum) is away on hols this week so I'll plod away and see how I go!
Small spend today - postage and milk, but that's not too drastic!
I'll try to pop into Brighton using my magic broomstick - I reckon I'll find you all ok! Mine's a candyfloss daquiri please and a toffee apple. PDD - come out from under the pier - and BMF pleeease put that lifeguard down! I mean it - step away NOW!!!:rotfl:
Have a good 'un - stay out of jail!

Hellooo!

This looks like a fab thread. I fell into NSDs all on my own part way through May and ended up having 12 without it being like too much hard work. Can you put me down for 15 for June, please?

Thank you!!!
