    NSD number 11 for me today Spoon - we did not go out and I got a few more items listed on eBay

    :eek: Really pleased that I just looked at my diary to check the number of my NSD's 'cause I just noticed that I am due at local hospital for a health survey in the morning at 9 am I had totally forgot about it!!! It's a regional survey on women's overall health and lasts about 3 hours - I have to wear heart monitors, etc and walk/run on treadmill for 20 minutes (reckon I will be walking) while they measure how fit I am [STRIKE]not[/STRIKE] - that should be fun ...... it's at this point you wish you had not agreed to do it :mad:

    Hope I've got some suitable clothes ready that I can wear - I'm not putting the washer on now!!!


    Edit: Just found the paperwork for this and my appointment is 8.30 am not 9 am and I am not supposed to eat anything or drink anything other than water after 10 pm tonight - ooooops I enjoyed those 2 cups of tea and m*llerl*ght yoghurt with melon, that I should not have had :eek: Hope it will not mess up their survey !!!

    EDIT: Ooops, 3Dogs, shouldn't you go to bed now then... 8.30 is a little early

    solvent, it went really well, was an all-afternoon date and things are looking promising. He'll be back next weekend.

    And the TARDIS will cope fine with the ley lines, I've put in a timey-wimey doodad that helps.
    ** Total debt: £6950.82 ± May NSDs 1/10 **
    ** Fat Bum Shrinking: -7/56lbs **
    **SPC 2012 #1498 -£152 and 1499 ***
    I do it all because I'm scared.

    Been a real busy day but it stopped me from spending any money so it was NSD No. 13 for me today. Here's hoping it continues.

    Glad to hear things are going well for you Elfen :)

    (And yes, I have to agree that dates are good - in fact I think they're more fun now I'm older than they were way back when I was a teenager..... I'll hopefully get a call tonight to sort out my weekend ;) )


    Tea tonight is Rissotto - not a favourite for DS, but I don't need as much frozen veg for this (always add peas & sweetcorn, but 'cos there's onions and mushrooms I can use less) - so no need to buy veg today.

    Looking at sausages with pasta and sauce tomorrow - so no need to buy veg until Monday........ but can't see me getting away without needing milk before the weekend unknown.gif

    So will pick up the veg (and eggs, and frozen mushrooms, and ham) when I get milk tomorrow - then I think all I'll need next week is potatoes....... and milk !!!
