chris81418

Morning all!

Yesterday took me up to NSD number 18, and if I behave today I should make my target of 19!

I hope there aren't too many sore heads after last night's shenanigans!

Have a good bank holiday everyone!

Yesterday took me to NSD 22, so it's dancing banana time :j (thanx Spoon for the dancing elephant xx & can you put me down for 20 again in June please)

It's really quiet round here today so think i might pop down to join you all in Brighton (think it was Nargle's donkey kebabs that swayed me, oh and large amounts of vodka)

Have managed to hire myself some suitable transport, i'm just not sure how much it's going to cost me to fill it up with petrol, don't think it's very MSE. I know Mr A has reduced the prices but even so .........


[hoping it's too fast for the speed cameras!]

Next month will be hard with the move and all - lots of little spends will probubly be needed. Put me down for 10 NSDs in June please!

Dunno about that...haven't checked!

Declaring early too...NSD no 20 :j:j:j, so dancing werewolf please Spoon...could be my transport to Brighton this afternoon....how well behaved is he??

Will have to keep the cakes and gin well wrapped up and away from him ....will take a few treats for him too though.

Now off to stock-take the freezers and plan the next months meals....working three days this week, so have to get organized!

See you in sunny Brighton this evening/tonight!! :T

Hello! :wave:

Spoon can you sign me up for next month please (it's scary that it's already almost June!) not sure how many NSDs I'm going to put myself down - as it's my first month what does everyone suggest?!

Hi Ally Ballie, welcome to the madhouse! I would say start low - dont give yourself an insurmountable target on your first month. I did 5 on my first month and I was surprised that I beat it! Since then Ive gradually increased my target, be warned - this is VERY addictive!

Brighton Belles- just touched down the broomstick for a quick sarnie - ETA @ lunchtime. Have brought virtual Lucozade for those that need it ( you know who you are) and a back up supply of vodka and lambrini.
BMF - dont try to pull the wool over my sheep - your track record with the dishy lads precedes you ( ask if he's got a pal for me):rotfl:

Declaring early today too - dh has just remembered it's his dad's birthday tomorrow so we're off to the shops. Did have a nsd yesterday so think that takes me to 13 - I am amazed!

hi, I dropped by the wayside with this challenge, but put me down for 18 in June please I really want to work on my savings now, and I figure that the fewer days that I give other people my money, the more my savings will grow (will definitely be visiting our chippy a few times during the world cup though :embarasse )

Hi all
We seem to have a nice little group congregating in Brighton now, some of the costumes are looking a little askew by now though:rotfl:
See you later Jintyb, hope the broomstick works OK, ooh you're making good progress I see, just in time to top up pdd's supply of vodka. BigMumma, I don't know how you do it, every time we go out and about you attract the most gorgeous young men:):). Peskie pixie, you'd better be quick, pdd's just started on the vodka again (pouring it on her cornflakes as I speak;) - love the transport, that's going to cause a few gasps on the beach in a little while:j. Keiss - I think the werewolf is reasonably well-behaved. I wouldn't show him the beetroot brownies though, he might start thinking about blood, and a rampaging werewolf in Brighton doesn't bear thinking about....
Back later for more shenanigans (love that word:D:D:D)


Welcome to the newbies and those who've just rejoined us. June thread will be up and running today, I'll sign everyone up then and do some updating as well.

Have a good Bank Holiday everyone:j:j

Declaring early so I can concentrate on BRIGHTON so NSD Number 17 for me and that brings up my target - Hip Hip Hooray - can you put me down for 17 for JUNE please Spoon and add my lovely likkle Pink Dancing Ephalant when he gets back from Brighton - ta

Well I've had an up-to-date weather report from Brighton and it's very good - see http://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/showpost.html?p=33322247&postcount=3609 so I'm off now to pick out my constume - which should it be - the elegant full-length evening gown which I don't own or the circus performers basque and tights (which I hasten to add I do not own either) - I think the basque will go better with the helium balloons don't you - I'll wear them to slimming class tonight (ah they will be lighter than the evening gown so that's settle then) so I am ready for lift off at 4.45 pm - don't drink it all before I get there gang - I know what you are like !!!!

Katenut - how are you doing on your nag -

Off for my shower now and to get changed from pj's to basque - what are the neighbour going to think ........ oh, they know me only too well
