    Morning all NSD'ers :hello:

    Well today is going to be a spendy day. off to see if the dog crate I have been offered will a) be small enough to fit in a Ka and b) will be large enough for the dog if it does :think: I hope so as she's offered it really cheaply

    Then air in tyres, petrol and electric, may do a little shopping but want to do main shop next week. Will make sure I check in later though as an incentive not to spend too much ;)

    Right off to the scary A45 :eek: Can't believe I'm still so scared of driving after all the money I spent on lessons practice girl practice :rotfl:

    See you all later, have a good day all xx

    :hello:

    I was blonde with purple stripes before....and blue, and pink....and many colours of the rainbow!

    NSD no. 13 for me please :) Managed to find a sneaky £2 someone had left on the floor.....but as it's floor money it got me a pair of cow slippers...I needed slippers and the £2 was just....perfectly times for me to find. So, none of my own money spent, so NSD woohooo!
    ** 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.

    good luck, you get more confident the more you do. I have friends who've driven for nearly 10 years and are still too scared to drive on the motorway :eek:

    Ninth Anniversary
    Hellooo everyone happy Fridayyyyy :D

    Well I think I jinxed myself, since declaring I was going to try for more NSDs I haven't had a single one, Johnny is slipping away from me...

    However I'm declaring one for today as I don't 'need' to go out anywhere but now I've said I won't be spending I can't pop out...there is logic in there somewhere. It's payday too which makes it doubly hard to resist, arghhh!

    Today is NSD 12, almost there.

    Number 8 in the bag - who's a clever Nargle, then?

    Jinty - hope you enjoy your fortnightly Ringtons treat!

    Purple hair - my daughter got married the other week (only 21 she is, just a babe really!) She has black hair with a few purple streaks one side and a few blue the other. When tousled into ringlets and caught up at the back with a jewelled butterfly clip and a crystal tiara put on the front, she looked a right bobby dazzler! Am almost toying with the idea of an odd purple streak myself, but I am a WAFC blonde (with assistance from Clairol) so not sure how that would look....

    PURPLE? PURPLE? you mean like this dark purple?
    Well would you believe it?
    That's the exact colour I had my nail's done this morning - I love it

    Up to 3 years ago when I had an allergy and had to stop, I had my hair this very colour too - I have short hair and it is spikey/punky on top - the spiky bit was purple/magenta and the short was black - now back to my natural colour of mousey blonde with natural grey streaks - but only till tonight when I will become platinum blonde!!!

    I'm a 57 year old punk rocker really - I am just in disguise sometimes as me

    Grrrrrr! There goes my NSD for today. Exhaust went wrong on my car and cost me £64 - thank goodness it's payday. But it's not how I had planned to spend my first payrise in AGES!
    Not looking good for tomorrow either as it's my friend's hen party and i'm drinking. Oh well, there's always next week.
    Finally, debt free for the first time since I was 18!:D

    Hey, 3Dogs, a 50+ punk rocker like me - love it. My hair was that colour as well for a while, with some magenta and other colours as well. It's red-ish and blonde now, but it's getting a bit boring, ready for a change and purple appeals again.

    Hope you enjoyed the pampering today:D
