    Hi everyone, hope you are all well this morning!
    Clocked up # 12 yesterday, and today will be another as Im going to work so dont intend to spend. Will confirm tomorrow.
    Im being treated to lunch today :D as a belated birthday pressie, so looking forward to that!

    herby - those lavender truffles sound fab. I love lavender, but have never had much success growing it. I think it's been too wet the last few summers here and the plants have not liked it!
    I do aromatherapy and use lavender oil a lot! I enjoyed your post though - your enthusiasm shines through! Maybe you should have a herby thread for all things "herbalicious"!:)

    Have a lovely day everyone - off to make myself presentable for the outside world!:rotfl:


    you will always be rich enough to be generous.

    :jBDINI: well done for no 12 - only 2 more to get now, that’s brilliant. You’re definitely going to get the pony now - keep going!:)
    Hmm.. not sure about “changed your life” maybe “changed your lifestyle”, it certainly seems to have done that;)

    And I managed to avoid my spendy day today and got myself another NSD taking me to the dizzy heights of no 18:j..... and feeling very pleased with myself. Should be another one tomorrow, fingers crossed.

    Hmmm did think i was a bit dramatic, so i'll go with what you said, has definitely changed my lifestyle!! :D

    Well done for 18, thats brilliant!! :T

    Declaring yesterday and today as NSDs spoon...so that's 15 so far, with 3 to go.

    Friday and next Monday will definitely be spending days, but hoping to make the rest of the month NSD...will I make it I wonder!!

    Been busy today so far, woke up @ 5.15 am :eek:, couldn't get back to sleep, so got up at 6.45...hung washing out, fed the birds, sorted out and folded dried washing from the airer and made porridge for breakfast...all before 7.45!! Took my car into the garage for it's service at 8.10, then DH took me back home
    before he went off to work. I was fit to drop by 9am!! Still, got some sewing done, then fed all my tomatoes and peppers with tomato food. Also nipped out the side-shoots and tied in all the tomatoes before come back inside to flop! Want to get more sewing done this afternoon, have done a bit while watching some tennis, but made a few mistakes, so doing it in the conservatory, with the radio on...now I can concentrate!:D

    Not sure if I want to watch the football or not...I could get some ironing done, but may concentrate on my sewing instead. No doubt I will hear how they get on!! :D

    Have a great day everyone.

    Hi all :hello:

    Thanks for wishes about rhe car Spoon :) It seems to be ok now :) and ar least that's over for another year LOL Mind you they have mentioned the dents in the panels (not me honest) but they didn't need doing to pass.

    Am back on track today bringing me up to no 9 :):).

    Am really going to have to hang in there to get to my target but I feel so much more positive about it than the last times I've tried so thanks everyone :kisses3:

    There is going to be a collection at work for someone who is leaving on Friday so I'll just have to make sure if I need anything I get it then, wull have to lock cards and purse away at home, mind you I have found that helps :rotfl:
