    I had another NSD yesterday - I haven't met my target this month, but I have had a lot of LSD too. :)
    I like your way of seeing things Cannp :D --much easier to concentrate on the positives isn't it!
    Don't worry katenut, I'm knicking BigMumma's lawnmower . Steak for me please, yum yum:):)
    I'll follow the parting you've carved over the Downs..get the kettle on, I'll be about an hour.....

    And to top it all, another nsd making a total of 22 days for May. Thank you all, for your company this month, & I'm looking forward to our next Challenge with a twinkle of anticipation :)

    Wow, what a night in Brighton you all had! ...shame I missed it!! Glad the Werewolf made it with the chocolate and beetroot brownies...he just grabbed them from the kitchen and shot off before I could hitch a lift! Looks like you had a great time anyways.

    Perhaps it is just as well as I was feeling a distinctly of sorts yesterday...and today has been "rather trying" at work to say the least!

    We had loads of builders, carpenters etc working in the bulding where we are based...because it is half-term and "no-one" is there...(though we were)..so we had to put up with the smell of paint and fire alarms going off every 5 or 10 minutes all day
    - they were testing all 120 of them!...and still didn't get them all finished!!!:mad: Not sure what I will do if they are still testing them tomorrow when I go in at 12.....scream I guess!!

    Still, managed to pick up my first NSD of the month today...will go and post this on the June thread in a mo, then off to bed.

    Hope everyone has recovered...at least a bit..and if anyone has come across a wayward werewolf...send him back to Tewkesbury for me...thanks :)

  • Well, close but still no cigar! I got 9/10 NSD, so I beat last months target, which was part of the aim of 10. Like Cannp I also had a lot LSD too, which I think counts towards the NSD way of thinking.

    Right off to pledge for June . . . :)

    Hi everyone

    Just wanted to say a belated thanks for all the company and laughs during May. It was a great month and I really enjoyed being part of the NSD team.

    You're all brilliant and I think we deserve a group hug for all the support we give each other.
