    Got my 7th one yesterday, so Im over half way there dead pleased with me . Glad you had a fun outing last night, sorry I couldnt join you, maybe next time?
  • 2 more NSDs going onto my total for Friday and today.

    Having a nice lazy morning so far, catching up with a few tv progs that I recorded during the week with cuppas and throwing things in the washer at intervals :D

    Off to the in-laws for lunch and drinkies so no spending for me, will make sure to leave the purse at home before we leave.

    Yesterday's outing sounded like fun, sorry I missed it, pesky overtime!

    Have a lovely Sunday everyone x

    Just a quick pop in!!

    Friday was a NSD - he paid and his team won (with only 10 men! so happy all round) Saturday was a spend day but I think I have enough in for nearly all of next week!! so will hopefully have a good week. Today is a NSD too (I can delcare early) as I am at work - made us both lunch and I have the stuff for dinner already in so all good. So 2 more for me Spoon

    I'll catch up with weekend posts soon

    Hope you all well

    Just been reading some of your posts and ive ben trying the sealed pot challenge , may give the NSD a go this month can anyone else recommend any other challenges??
    Hi TM :wave: there's always room in our little band :) Other challenges I know of are for keeping an eye on your Grocery spends & some to get ready for crimbo, while there are lots on getting set for the colder weather & making your own gifts. I know there's one or two dedicated to slow cooker recipes & what folk are putting in them each day, so give us a shout on what you are most interested in & we'll see if we can help.

    Guess which basket I avoided like the plague..I just didn't fancy grabbing hold of anything dangling on THAT one
    :eek: The balloons looked wonderful all lit up tho & I'm glad I changed my mind. Didn't see yooze guys tho as it was wet & dark but sorry I missed the drama :o I've watched every episode of Casualty so I could of mended your leg spoon--15ml IV heprasin stat!--see? :p

    Got me no 9 yesterday & now thinking of that Mel C & that blokey guy singing Cloud No 9 :wall: I'm going to have to look that up now or it will be bugging me till I know his name; like both of their voices so no hardship to scroll thru the toob :cool:

    NSD so far.... just in from doing the garden...the weeds, er..I mean grass needed mowing. Found a couple of humungous ant nests in the back, had to put some powder down, did feel a bit bad doing so but OMG! there were hundreds of the blighters and v.close to the eating area.. don't fancy ants in my salad. If there was a way to relocate them, I would have. :( Find gardening a bit of a thankless task as you just end up repeating the same thing over and over again....would love a gardener but not very frugal...:)
