    Calling today NSD numero uno for the month of May.

    Weather is dreary and had some sad news this morning (posted on my diary) so I'll stay in and sulk most of the day. I have some volluntary work things to get out of the way as well. I also got my passport back from renewal so I'll start working on my visa renewal application. Plenty to keep me busy really

    Going for NSD 1 today, I have one poorly child, one poorly DH and one DC off to school. Of course, I'm not feeling well but still have to do the usual including the school run. Good news is that apart from a trip to the bank, I won't have opportunity to spend any money today :j

    Confused confused-smiley-009.gif Have I lost a day after all that partying? It's Sunday in my world.......;) and I've hopefully still got a bank holiday tomorrow :T

    Spent the day with OH, and we went for a walk for 'entertainment', then had Whoopsied pizza for tea (he already had them in, so it's clear he's not averse to shopping from that section of the supermarket when the opportunity arises ;) )

    Oh No! ;) The whoopsies have started already......

    DH has taken DS2 to a Rugby (what else?!) Assessment Day at the local college his going to in September...at least this one is only 10 miles away...unlike all the Scotland ones! :D I might go and watch the match he is playing in this afternoon. He has been told that he is on stand-by for the Scotland U17 training camp in Spain this summer, but he has already been invited along to the Scottish Exiles camp in Leeds (not as warm as Spain though!), so we will still "lose" him for a while this summer :j:j

    Bet you miss him really......:kisses3:


    Claiming NSD #2 early today. Can't be bothered to go anywhere, it's raining, and DH is watching the football. He wants his red team to lose to the blues, even though he doesn't like the blues, because he likes the other reds even less. Men!

    ETA: DH happy. His reds lost (though not happy at how they lost!) so the other reds now definitely have to win....and they say we make things complicated.

    :rotfl:

    I'm incapable of shopping in a supermarket without starting in the Whoopsie areas, so was impressed to see OH isn't one of those people who won't touch them :D (I have one friend who wouldn't dream of buying them, even if she could put them in the freezer as soon as she got home!)

    Had to go down to Mr M today for a few bits today ('better than half price' yoghurts for the next couple of weeks, and cheese which I hopefully got enough of on a BOGOF for the month), but decided to go down just after they opened..... so unfortunately no Whoopsies worth getting for us yet this month :(

    Afternoon or is it evening and I'm still not sure what day it is as someone LFV???? was sending kids to school to-day or possibly yesterday, even aliens can't cope with that and a frazzled sporran, that BIgmumma is wild, and drives like Jenson Button blindfolded. Anyway claiming for to-day, DH was running in Edinburgh and he bought lunch cos he was pleased with his time, so I is home free to-day....................

    No NSD for me today but I now have so much food in my flat that I have no excuse to go shopping for the week... I just have to remember this when I'm on my way home from work absolutely starving. :cool: Thats when my NSDs go out of the window! :o

    Oh by the way, Re: Robbie and his wee tatties.........I've heard they go like that if you take too many of those bodybuilding steroids :p.

    Well I am declaring NSD2 here. It has been lashing down all day- horrible really and it's forecast to be the same all week. Well, when it's like this I have no desire to go out at all so thats good.
    Trying to keep in budget.
