    Morning campers :D Declaring today a NSD day as I only have to go to the chemist to pick up my prescription (decided to not count my medication as it is a necessity each month :D)

    Oooh my tally is going up, I'm now up the grand total of 7 NSD's so far :) Have updated my siggy :D

    Congratulations to all those that are doing well with their NSD's, we'll all reach our targets :D To those that are struggling, keep plugging away and don't get downheartened when you have slip up there's always next month :D

    Have you looked into getting a pre-payment prescription card natty?
    If you are getting more than 4 items on prescription during three months, then it is cheaper this way. Click here for info.
    I believe you can pay by monthly instalments for the annual card.

    Right, declaring today as NSD no 10 .... "only" 8 to go, with half the month left...should make it methinks...who knows, I may get more than 18...we'll see! ;)

    Right, off to update my siggy, then get some baking done...the bun-boxes are quuite bare atm!! :o

    PS the car started OK this morning after DH put the re-charged battery in..here's hoping, though DH and I did discuss getting a "new" car soon (there are a few things not working in our old estate, that we put up with...eg sun-roof (which also leaks, so find damp patches on floor!); the material covering the ceiling bows down, and anyone sitting in the back gets enveloped :rotfl:. Will talk to my "mechanic-who-does" about it....there is the possibility that the bearings have not long for this world :eek:...but we'll see what he thinks!!

    number 11 for me - declaring early so there's no temptation to spend!

    Spent a ruddy fortune in Tatco today, plus bought fathers Day gifts for my Dad and OH's stepdad - gift packs of beer from local brewery. Never mind, hopefully an NSD tomorrow?

    LFV, it's couch to 5k....going from no running to running 5k in 9 weeks, but I'm on week 1, and it's my first run of the week so run 1. I'm going to sign up for the Big Fun Run that's in October and it's 5k, so I need to get my bum into gear (Hope that makes sense!)

    Oh, and it is an NSD as my mate owes me 35 so that'll cover the taxi and the shopping :D
