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

jintyb

Morning everyone - made it no 2 yesterday - well chuffed!
Today def wont be, as car going in for MOT and service. This is the "good" car, so it shouldnt need a lot doing to it ( famous last words!)
While its being attended to I'm off for a mooch around the shops, there's a b&m near the garage - ( always fatal);), and a shop called Ali's Cave which sells cheap wool for my baby hats. After that I'm meeting my M&D for a coffee,so rather a nice morning planned!:)

Off to update sig, have a lovely day everyone!:A

It took me about four hours last night to figure out why 'batteries for a toy' was TMI. This done, burst out laughing, woke OH up and told him. Regretfully not that interesting - not that kind of toy.

I can report an NSD (yesterday) at last - will try harder as I've got a bit of catching up to do, need a few groceries today but will try to plan ahead so that I can have NSD's for Fri, Sat & Sun

BDINI,

You made me howl with laughter and its was only around 8.00am, was feeling a bit overbrained from yesterday and you sure cheered me up, family think I am a mental gibbering headcase, rolling around laughing at the crack of dawn, thank you, must visit some time, sounds fascinating!!!

I know I'm late and have already had spend days so can you please put me down for the rest of May with 10 NSD's

Thanks

Yesterday was no2 for me, no chance today as the car is demanding more fuel or refusing to take me home from work. Its worse than a man or a donkey with its demands it really is...

PS - I spreadsheets

Spreadsheets are good. Spreadsheets are friends.
I can still come on the night out can't I?

I like them too...and every month or two I think of more tweaks and additions to make it look better/ be more useful. (I have even been known to teach people about them, not Office 2007 yet though !!)

Noooooooo they're my lifeline!........I'd fall apart without my SS! (and the lever arch file with analysis of spending over the last 10 years). Okay so am taking the glass of wine upstairs and sorting out the spare room..........now

OK then, THAT is dedication! Admittedly, I do have a year's-worth of receipts and spreadsheet print-outs on the shelf nearby ...maybe it is time to get rid of the receipts and just have the printouts....;)

Had a great meal out last night, and not as expensive as we thought it would be. We had a booking for 7 and the special deals were still on from lunch time (set prices for two or three courses). We had planned on their "Discovery" menu at £35 a head :eek:, but decided we didn't feel hungry or flush enough for that!! So a lovely evening, great food, attentive staff (lots of iced water delivered regularly - and for free!) and a fantastic venue...not as over-the-top as I imagined LLB could have been...just right really. I LOVE Art Deco....there were some lovely glass panels near us so I had a great time studying them throughout the evening...I didn't ignore DH, honest, well, not much!!

OK, going to declare today as an NSD, so that's 3 for May now, not too bad I suppose! Not planning on going out at all, except to vote. DS1 (20) has come home from Uni to vote (didn't get organized to do a postal vote), and has already walked the couple of miles to and from the polling station. This is his first general election so he was keen to vote. DS2 (still 17) says he wouldn't vote even if he could...things might change with him, though I doubt it, apathy rules in his case .

Right, off to see if I can get my trainers on with my silly toe...it has started weeping again...good in some ways as it eases the pressure a bit, but it means I have to have some sort of dressing on, which means I can't wear some footwear. I have new wellies and my gardening boots which I can wear, but I had hoped to get my trainiers on...we'll see.

Have a great day everyone.

PS Star Wars in Brighton sounds great...at the end of the month?? That is Bank Holiday Monday itself...it will be crowded, but at least there should be lots of entertainment about - mind you, we are good at prividing our own methinks!! :rotfl:

Good morning all, happy Election Day. Trouble is, whoever you vote for, it's always the Government that gets in....

Not a NSD today as hairdresser visiting house this pm, but have hopes for tomorrow. Will be a creature of the night tonight so half of tomorrow will be spent sleeping - no spending there, except in my dreams!

Must remember to nick my son's lightsaber for Brighton - big thing complete with green light and light saber noise, that cool or what? That reminds me :

Darth Vader : Luke, I know what you have got me for Christmas.

Luke: How do you know that, Dad?

Darth Vader : Because I felt your presence.....
