    Hope everyone is well today and set to make the best of the lovely weather.

    As it's so lovely here 4.gif i'm not planning on going anywhere near any shops, so today will be a NSD bringing my total up to 16. (I won't even be tempted by the chimes of the ice cream man!1.gif)

    Good morning everyone!

    Last week was a really busy one for me, so I struggled with NSDs as I had to buy the odd sandwich for lunch and dinners; however, I managed to finish off the week with a NSD yesterday, so I'm now up to 10 NSDs.

    I'm now going to have to be really disciplined to make my target this month, but I'll knuckle down and will make a real effort to reach my target of 19 NSDs.

    Have a good weekend everyone and enjoy the sunshine!

    Yesterday was an NSD, yay! Today probably wont be - I have a birthday party tonight. It shouldn't be too expensive as its a potluck (bringing my famous aubergine parmesagne!) but I imagine we'll go to a pub after, and anyway I'll need to get some ingredients this afternoon.

    Happy saturday, all!

    Well, today is not an NSD, DH had to get a saw to cut more branches off the damson tree. Then he can fell the rest with the chainsaw. This has been an on-going project for the past few months, but it should be finally down today/tomorrow, hopefully :D.

    As he was going out, I asked him to get more eggs, F&V and some ham. He stuck to the list, only getting coffee as extra (he had run out, so allowed). This leaves us £3.14 until the end of the month...something tells me we are going to go over this!! :D Mind you, I did reduce our target by £50, and forgot that DS2 would be home for about half of the month (study leave and AS exams)...he eats soooo much though!! I think we worked out he eats enough for over 2.5 "normal" people....:eek::eek:

    Got some gardening done this morning...but had to abandon the greenhouse for a while, it was over 35 degrees in there:eek::eek:!!

    Had lunch, and now working out what else needs to be done in the garden today (LOADS!). I want to sow some more seeds, so sorting out the packets and labels before I head out....hopefully it will be a bit cooler...there seems to be a bit of a breeze...very welcome! :)

    Have a lovely weekend everyone.

    Wow 3Dogs, they're brilliant - you wouldn't buy the cushions for £29 normally. Love the colour and they look as though they're in really good condition as well.

    Brilliant bargain there:T:T:T

    Great bargain with the sofa 3dogs, not sure they'll be room for you and OH once the dogs see them though!

    Yes Spoon they are in great condition, it would appear that only the chair has been used

    As you can see Tixy - Billy finds the sofa very comfy once he had rearranged the cushions:-
