    Monday was number 2 ! It was a SD yesterday and also today as I've just done the food shop, but I am very pleased to report that I came in £1.42 under budget :T This was the last shop before payday next Friday so I really needed to stick to the budget.

    :wave::wave::wave: Hello to all you lovely, mad, funny NSDers!! :hello::hello::hello:

    Finally back, has taken me ages to catch up with all the news (sorry to say I have just skipped the last few pages, my eyes are getting tired!)

    Hope you all enjoyed the wedding as much as I did, especially the Tequila Icecream!! The hats were amazing! Thanks to whichever one of you bought me a Slippery Nipple - the green stain where I spilt it adds an interesting touch to my dress!! :p:p Sorry I missed Glasgow, sounds like you all had fun - we got delayed coming back from honeymoon thanks to that lovely volcano :):)

    Is there a night out planned this month? I need something to look forwards to, think I'm suffering from PND (post-nuptial-depression!).

    I didn't meet my target last month for the first time since I started this challenge, should have gone for less really as we were away for the last ten days of the month, making NSD's impossible.

    Can you please put me down for 15 again this month please Spoon? I had one already yesterday, and we're skint after the wedding/honeymoon so really need to tighten our belts!

    Hope you are all well, will try and go back and catch up with the gossip now xx
    Trying to jump back onto the moneysaving wagon .... :cool:

    Number 3 for me today please....not planning on going out (Pint is paying for the cinema later - and I'll probably wheedle a small popcorn out of him too - Orange Wednesdays are great)
    ** Total debt: £6950.82 ± May NSDs 1/10 **
    ** Fat Bum Shrinking: -7/56lbs **
    **SPC 2012 #1498 -£152 and 1499 ***
    I do it all because I'm scared.

    :wave:Hi katenut and welcome back
    Think we all enjoyed the wedding - the tequila icecream definitely finished a few of us off - BigMumma and pure dead dopey haven't been the same since sampling its delights:rotfl:. The Slippery Nipple was a present from curlygirl (at least I think it was, can't remember as I had one of them as well!).

    Had a great night out in Glasgow - missed you though, we were looking forward to seeing the pics, will have to wait until our next one now.

    Yes, outing being planned for this month - we're thinking about Brighton and/or Livepool. Themes are varying from Star Wars (may the fourth be with you yesterday started that one!!:rotfl::rotfl:) or the 70's, currently deciding on outfits - pics on previous pages).

    Happy catching up - might take you a while as we've been particularly talkative over the last four days:):):).

    Will sign you up properly later but welcome back:):)

    000204AE.gif Spoon, you give us lots of encouragement when we manage a NSD, but then your achievements are glossed over at the end... so I just wanted to say, woo hoo! 4 NSDs - well done. And also
    000202B2.gif For helping us all stay on the straight and narrow but not reining in our insanity ;).

    (Not sure why my smiley's are so big...need to figure out how to make them a reasonable size some other time!)

    All this time my lot have played along with their eccentric old mum, but it seems 4th May is a world-wide 'celebration' of Star Wars--so I'm not as thunk as you're mad I am :T If you don't believe me, check out yesterday's news reports :D

    Welcome Back Kate! Such a shame [NOT!] you were forced to extend your honeymoon :rotfl:Have to say I remember having Sex on the Beach but your Slippery Nipple doesn't ring any bells..

    And Spoon?..wot Nicca sez ;)

    At last......No 1 for me today :). Not a good start to the month but I've been buying bits and pieces for my cake baking.

    Looking forward to Brighton, not too far for me, just jump on the Bedford line and I'll be there, I'll bag the deckchairs for us all....:rotfl:
