    Hello everyone :wave: Very many apologies, I've not updated on how I'm doing :o:o

    In the last week I've had 4 NSDs, which I'm rather chuffed about :D

    Ooooooo!!!! Please Miss, someone else is using the banned word :eek:

    We don't fail - we just have things crop up that mean we don't manage to reach target......

    Baileys Babe: :wave:hi and welcome back, hope the building project is going OK?
    Well done for getting to no 11 :j- that’s brilliant, halfway there now! Fingers crossed you make your target

    13 NSDs :jI'm still struggling to keep up. Building work is still going great guns, they even came in on Saturday (the first time most of them had worked a saturday for nearly 20 years) I'm having a few days away taking the children to visit my parents, which is great, frustratingly they have some small building works starting this morning :mad:

    Shockingly managed another nsd today - despite writing a wish list of things I really want to buy in a dull moment at work! Tomorrow should be a nsd as well with work, then a meeting, then dancing class till late.

    Ooooohhhh the shshshshshshshshshshshaaaaammmmmmme *flings forearm up to furrowed brow* & you a teecha too *sobs uncontrollably* What am I going to do with you lot hmm? :o Well..I think you SF, are going to have to pay a forfeit & that will beeee.....toooooo...eerrrmm.....be the nominated get-us-where-we're-supposed-to-be-er on our night out this month ;)

    I'm orf to bed in a bit, so today has been another nsd. Tomorrow we need supplies & I've heard there's a market in town on Friday so I may find something there. It's been an absolute age since we've had one locally & I'm torn between supporting a new venture & staying away to avoid temptation. Think I'll go this time to see what sort of stalls they're intending & that'll give me a better idea for future projects.

    Had another NSD today - bringing my total up to 2. I won't manage one tomorrow, but should be ok for Friday certainly. Hopefully next week I'll be able to get maybe 3 in.

    ..... there was another one there which had a matching armchair with it which was much better made and very comfy. So we decided to go down to the auction tomorrow and bid on the second sofa/chair. We resisted the normal coffee we would have had while we were there to save my NSD but then realised that we needed diesel to get home as we were very low - so bang went my planned NSD for today. If we manage to get the sofa/chair tomorrow that will spoil another NSD too.

    So watch this space - tomorrow I will be either reporting an NSD or a new sofa!!!!!

    Off we went to the auction this morning bright and early - up came the sofa & chair which I knew had a £25 reserve and I actually got them for £26 plus commission - wow the other one that hubbie had liked went for £105 - I was so pleased and we went into the other auction hall and got 6 loganberriy and 6 blackberry bushes (thornless I hasten to add) - I actually spent more on a few plants than I did on the sofa/chair !!!

    Now you are thinking, there goes the NSD aren't you - well actually I had forgot to put my card back in my purse when using it for internet banking transfer so I couldn't pay - so we arranged to call in on Friday spending day anyway to pay and collect them so we did not have to pay for them today - sounds good so far - except that our mate was there at the auction too and he bought us teas (twice) so I had to buy some back - this means for the sake of £1 for 2 teas I missed my NSD again

    Tomorrow's should be safe though - fingers crossed ashamed0006.gif
