    Morning All


    I had forgotten about Brighton, I'll be OK in the Darth Vader costume as its freezing here, had to shut the window in the night and that is unusual for me, cos I am a hardy wee Scottish person!!!! aliens are tucked up in the duvet, won't come out, think they like warmer climes.
    Struggling a bit this week, mostly spending cos I'm saving money iyswim??? cheapie doggie treats yesterday, special offer waher powder the day before. Its the curse of being on the road that the opperchancitys pop up, bit like Cheryl and the whoopsies, if you're not there you can't spend.

    Well done all who are there, keep your finders crossed, I a coming!!!!

    I have hit my target! I would like to thank the cast, the crew, the lighting people, makeup, wardrobe, sound effects, electricians, the producer, the director, the screenplay writers, my family, my friends, my cat and my chickens, without whom none of this would have been possible. This award is not for me, it is for all of you, and I love you all mwah! mwah!

    PMSL @ Nargle You get the Herby award for the most creative post of the week that made me laugh out loud and put a smile on my face, thanks for the giggle and congrats on meeting your target, lovely feeling ain't it!

    You did make me giggle Nargle :D

    Well none for me so far this week, Tue & Wed were planned spends but Mon I was a bit silly as what I bought could easily have waited until Tue.... doh! DD2's buggy parasol snapped and I tried to bodge it together but no joy, it snapped again on the school run, and it was soooo hot on Mon so as soon as we got home I painc bought a new one online, and of course the sun has disappeared since then ....... aargh! Oh well at least I'm prepared for the next heatwave.

    Well, I have no planned spends for the rest of this month so fingers crossed I'll be back later to declare today as NSD 7.

    Good luck all!

    Hi lovely NSD-ers
    Apologies for my absence (and no update) yesterday. I had the day from hell, frankly, and finally finished work at 11pm by which time I had enough of the PC and decided to drown my sorrows in a large glass of wine....

    Normal service to be resumed this evening, elephants and bananas (and [STRIKE]kicks [/STRIKE][STRIKE]up [/STRIKE][STRIKE]the [/STRIKE][STRIKE]bum [/STRIKE]oops:o encouragement) will be presented in the style to which you have become accustomed:D:D. I think I spied Nargle giving her acceptance speech and Lfv singing a banana song:rotfl:on a quick look, think I might be busy this evening.

    Happy NSD-ing everyone, back later.
