The nicest thing about today was payday, and for once we aren't scrabbling round for pennies to keep us going until my wages clear. Finally feel like we're making progress - a whole month with no bank or credit card charges

July already has St Swithin's Day,
And what happens on St Swithins Day? If it rains on St Swithins Day it will rain for 40 days and 40 nights. And when is St Swithins Day? 15th July of course. And how does 3Dogs know this? 'Cause 15th July is my BIRTHDAY that's why. And how old is 3Dogs on her birthday? ......................................................
Come on, that's enough of this silly chatter, I must sort my NSD target out for July ..... cough cough ......
Well we have THAT holiday at the end of the month - we actually leave home on Saturday 24th July and get back on Saturday 31st July - and of course I have my birthday too - so that cuts down the number available and I may just be spending a little bit extra for things for the holiday ............. enough of the excuses, just go for it woman .......... OK OK - I'll go for 12 NSD's for July to be on the safe side (I hope) so can you add me to the list Mistress Spoon, Guardian of the NSD thread (and what a great job you do of it too :T:T:T:T)Mr 3Dogs 3-7-12

(I only know that 'cos my Mum told me off for having DS at 00:45am on 16th, which meant he wasn't born on a 'special' family birthday!)
So a party on 15th at 3Dogs place, then on to mine on 16th (though I'm not sure what DS will make of a house/garden full of MSE-ers helping him celebrate)
And with Wombledon on Sunday (what time are we meeting? I'm actually free for this one, as OH is away this weekend - and without me!!!) plus the wedding on 22nd, it looks like being a busy month.
Are we doing the back alleys this month as well????
ETA: OH's elder son has a birthday this month too - will let you know when I manage to find out what date, then we can add that to the calendar as wellCheryl0 -

Oooooohhhh.. we've got a full social calendar this month then, I see.... will put a schedule up on the front page so that everyone knows what we're doing.
Yes, Cheryl, we are doing BDINI's back alley this month (why does that always sound soooooo wrong????)
Wombledon outing is on for Sunday, think we'll be staking out our pitch early I should think, we want to get a good view after all:rotfl::rotfl:and start July off with a bang (June was bit quiet, only one outing, can't have a repeat of that..)The time you enjoy wasting is not wasted time
