    Morning campers - haven't done well so far I'm afraid. Although it didn't help that I had to fork out £52.00 on vets fees for my dog Jet :( But unfortunately his "hot spot" wasn't clearing up with natural remedies so he needed antibiotics and anti-imflammatories. I've also had a few bad days of spending on nothing much! Oh I did spend £14.99 on a pass to watch BB online too - naughty I know but I do enjoy BB and as DH has his world cup I thought I could have that :) But I haven't told him that I used the CC yet..lolo But saying that I have managed to get 3 NSD's so far..:D

    How is everyone else doing?

    aaargh just lost a post to the wonders of technology

    Again!!

    To-day will be a spendy day, cupboards are bare, which is a good thing cos it means we are eating what I buy and not wasting anything, pity it only took me 29 years of married life to work it out!!! Talk about slow!

    Ok I'm in the groove for Stonehenge, have never been, but read a book about it being built (can't really remember who wrote it but it was good) so looking forward to the educational aspects, may do a powerpoint on why those stones are still up there and how they got there!
    Hubert is desperate to come, so may just bring him down, aliens are coming of course, although they can't see what all the fuss is about as its the airport they landed at initially. Nargle are you sure we can hang our smalls, and what about plugging in the straightners? It might not be a bad idea if someone remembers a shovel bearing in mind the last outings main problem............... Could we have a different variety of brownies please, perhaps something a little less technicoloured?? but they were delicious!

    BDINI I really like cider, with a lot of ice and an umbrella, was a bit worried in case I didn't fit in, but will bring my stripey deckchair as I'm getting on a bit to stand all night, that'll be OK won't it???

    Herby re awful neighbours, their relatives live next door to me!!!! Noisiest most vulgar eejits on the planet!!! I am working on growing a large screening shrubbery to try to screen out the noise and indelicate conversations ( and I really mean indelicate here folks), cunning plan was working well until I lost some of the highest in the really severe weather after Christmas, so back to square one, anyone know anything that will grow to 10 feet in about 2 weeks????

    Have a good day all

    Hi all

    just popping in for a quick update - had a spend day yesterday due to Bon Jovi (had a burger and a beer!! ticket was free though!!) but today even though I am going out to lunch I think I might have a NSD as the lunch is on work...... fingers crossed.

    Sorry just a bit of a post and run day today - hope everyone is well.

    Hi everyone - just confirming NSD#6 for yesterday:D:T
    You all sound in fine fettle today!
    Yes Im up for Stonehenge - it's my birthday on the 19th so I'll bring leftovers ( very MSE :money:) Im planning on driving down in a psychedelic VW caravanette so if you fancy a lift give me a shout! I've got my diaphanous frock all ready and have polished up my sandals.

    BDINI - will a shell suit be ok for the alley bash?

    I know we've got a lot of social activities (?) ATM, but does anyone fancy men's final day at Wimbledon? With our inimitable style, I think we could make it a memorable day for everyone:rotfl: Can you imagine BMF with men in shorts? We'd need to chain her to something ! This the great thing about virtual days out , the world's your oyster and it doesnt cost a penny!

    Whatever you're up to, have a lovely day!:)


    you will always be rich enough to be generous.

    Morning all, the duracell bunny has nicked all my energy today, all I want to do is sleep which means that the monthly curse is not that far away. Have popped the BM on with dough to make a HM pizza for tomorrow, my plan is to make extras for the freezer and leave one in the fridge for lunch tomorrow. I read on the forums somewhere someone's tip for the tomato sauce to go on the pizza bases (should have favourite placed it!) using a tin of toms and some passata I think, I usually just spread them with tom puree but they tend to be a bit salty, usually buy the ready made ones as the offer ones are cheap enough, but don't have any in and if I go buy one I lose my NSD that I'm oh so carefully racking up today. Anybody know where the pizza topping recipe is or has a tried and tested tomato pizza topping they use?

    DH is taking me to H*bbycraft tomorrow to return some bits and swap them so I can finish a current project (no spend just a straight swap) and he's promised to finish filling round the door in the hall this weekend so I can finish painting it and we can get the carpet down. So if the pizza and other baking I'm doing for the weekend works out, then I should get an NSD tomorrow as well as today and have plenty to keep me busy this weekend. Sunday will be a spend day as we go shopping for the week on a sunday, but I'm doing well, two full shopping trips left until pay day and I've got just less than £130 to last until then. So far DH owes me £70 for extra holiday spends based on all the NSD's I've managed so far, he's not laughing now, but I am, he said I'd end up paying him
    :rotfl:

  • Morning guy's!!!!
    I know its early but i will have a NSD today, number 8, i can't believe it!!!
    The reason being is that im still on the sofa, ive got zero energy, due to the fact i can't eat, tummy feels :mad:AAARRRHHH!!!!, ive also got a mouth full of ulcer's.
    I was going to force myself to wash up, but my cat snuggled on my leg's and it would be criminal to move him, he's just too cute:D
    So i'll have to stay put, but im bored!!!!!
    Just lurking around on here, we'll you never know i might learn something new!!!!

    :heart:Love to all....................

    Note to self... Don't attempt to make pizza dough when tired, you end up with a fast baked loaf with no yeast in it DOH or not as the case most definitely is!

    Nothing I can do now but throw the error out for the birds and start again paying closer attention to what I do, what a bloomin eejit, and I thought today was going sooooo well :o
