    NSD #22 today :T

    Only need 1 more in the next 2 days to get my Funky Dancing Chicken :D

    Seriously hoping they'll both be NSDs, then I get my alcohol-free celebratory tipple as well ;)

    A: ARrrrrrrrrrrr! :o

    I think I'll leave it there Spoon. Declaring 18 for the month of July as I know I will be spending tomorrow and maybe Saturday. And after that joke I don't think I have the will to carry on.................



    You made I laugh and just wiping diet coke from the laptop as I was drinking when I read your post!!:rotfl:

    Ps Laptop is amazingly fine and still getting over coffee spill earlier in the week!!:D

    NSD 7 for me today :rotfl:but unless July has been extended to 32 days I will fail to reach my target of 10 :(.

    I'm in a quandry now as I need to get more batteries for the baby monitor and where I work on Fridays sells 8 for £1.99 which means no NSD or do I wait till I do weekly shop on Sat and pay over £3 in the supermarket!!!! Do NSD's mean people miss out on bargains and end up spending more than they needed to? What shall I do? :huh:
    Total Debt May 10 = £58092

    Hi all NSD'ers

    :hello:

    Well a spendy day for me because while I was in town for the briefing thingy I went to the market like I had planned but then because I needed to go to Corby in the evening I didn't have time to do the shopping first :( (my fault all disorganised)

    Still it was an LSD and I didn't get any c**p (mate fed me in evening too :)) so not all bad.
    Also, I had a visit from the Waste Management at the council this afternoon, theyre inviting local residents to attend a meeting about how to recycle/manage our waste more effectively and theyre paying £30 to each person to attend.....Im going! 49lpmxx.gif, and both our cars passed their m.ot.'s with flying colours springsmile.gif. For me these are NSD's because we saved for these and they are a necessity. Can the day get any better I wonder?...treeswing.gif

    Fantastic stuff Karen :T

    Lots of poorly cats :( Hope whoever's it was that went to the vets today is ok (Can't remember who 'twas this morning I read it :embarasse:embarasse)

    Has been a strange day..................I am still in shock for being accepted for a credit card I applied for last night.....I'm sure there's no way I should have been :eek::eek: But I phoned and checked and they said I had, it has a 15 month 0% on balance transfers so I can get rid of BOTH Vanquis (59.9%) ans Aqua (39%) and keep paying off and not have to deal with the interest :D:D

    Vanquis must have known LOL 'cos when I opened my post they had sent me 4x dreaded credit card cheques 'to help me with cash over the summer' :rotfl:. When I had finished laughing I filled them all in, made out to me for sums of between £14,000 and £20,000 looked at them dreamily for a minute then shredded them :p 'Twas nice to hold them in my hand for a minute and fantasize :rotfl:
    **the doctors appointment is next week *** :rotfl::rotfl:


    See you all tomorrow

    :hello:

    DFD Need to August 2027 :(

    Georgie that was d*mn funny! 10/10 for originality on the rolling stone lovechild thing! :T :rotfl: :cool:

    And anyway Spoon can't I have one, on the grounds the original NSD level I had set myself was 1, so that makes my target of 5 then a revised target? If Georgie can have a stoner-of-no-certain-lineage I want one too! :rotfl: :money:

    Hey I have just had a thought, I am gonna get cheeky and go for a Chicken too. Put me in for a Chicken, I've already spent something today (eBay is a terrible thing) and Friday's probably impossible but Saturday has real potential. :A
    Gods I feel like a child with a star chart! :EasterBun

    Hi Hannah,
    ahhhh.. my fault, misunderstood your targets - sorry:o:o. Will sort out the front page now, kittie for your first target, Johnny for the second and yes, of course you can go for another one - this is your first month after all;).

    Good luck for Saturday - see you in the Tardis for our outing:rotfl:

    Yes, I've noticed that!

    It will be exciting to see if I can join a virtual event and a live event at the same time!!! :o However I don't think my multi-tasking skills are quite that good! :rotfl:

    I'm sure you can manage it :rotfl:
