    :mad::mad: Lost my post :mad::mad: Don't know what happened to it...........

    Happy birthday 3dogs!!!!

    Rubber accroutaments, semi-naked men and lots of birthday cake..........sounds like my kind of party :T:T:T:eek:;)

    NSD 7 today. Thanks for the tips for the child tax credit. Received my award notice for this tax year today but it's wrong so they have been informed and I will be transferring the money over to my savings account tomorrow! Not expecting it to be much different but I might as well make the most of it!

    Cheryl, big spend but I bet you felt good running in that new gear :)

    Thanks for everyone who let me know about Niddy. Shocking.......some people are just horrible. This thread is so friendly...........:)

    And who is already talking about that big spending season that's coming up ..........NNNNNOOOOOOooooooooo don't do it :eek:

    If you are referring to the one near the end of the year that starts with C, then don't even go there. Otherwise I will have to kill you.

    Hi everyone! :hello:

    I was nearly finished writing this post about 10 minutes ago when the pooter decided to shut down for "updates" - couldn't it have warned me first???? :mad:

    ANYWAY, the weekend is here!!! Yaaaaay!! :T It's turned into a lovely evening here, though still very blustery...perfect clothes drying weather - if we had a garden :( Humpfh. Oh well!

    Hubby is in the living room building his new bike (a triathlon-y type one) - I have just been in and done the appropriate amount of Ooohing and Aaaahing and have now come back into the bedroom to do a bit of forum cruising - the light is lovely, streaming in through the windows and I'm propped up with loads of fluffy pillows. Hubby has just come in and had a laugh at me, told me I look like a little kid :p

    Well Spoony-woony, today I am declaring NSD No. 6!! Yippeeee!! Kitty kitty here I come!! I'm over halfway there! Hopefully have another one on Sunday (tomorrow will be a spendy day as we are going to a 30th party in a pub in town.)

    Okay, better go, hope everyone is having a good night.

    Jo :)

    Well done Beanie for 10 out of 10 00020165.gif

    In case I don't see you before Monday, hope you have a good holiday - we go away a week tomorrow (24th July) so I'll see you when we get back

    PPD - hope you and Mr Dopey have a great time camping - I have only had one camping holiday as an adult - that was many years ago and we were flooded off the site in Scotland - ooops perhaps I shouldn't have said that!!!!

    I had my normal spend today but did get more bargain clothes at the car boot and charity shops - must stop buying them now as I have definitely got enough for our holiday

    Hoping for an NSD tomorrow (Saturday) - we are going to the auction in the morning but the couple of bits we are interested in are for eBaying so will be bought with eBay profits, so it won't count and I will take cans of P*psi Max with us so I don't spend at cafe van

    LFV yay for the payrise :T

    Dopey, good luck with the camping, hope you have a fab time & the sun shines lots!!!!

    Spendy days today & tomorrow, groceries tonight & drinks with a friend tomorrow, should really have done it all in one day, but after all the 6am supermarket trips recently i decided i'm having a lie in tomorrow & looking forward to every minute of it!!!

    TV transmitter on the blink, so no signal round here :mad: am giving up now & retiring to bed with a trashy magazine, my only deviation to the grocery list, night all!! x
