Not today either- quick overnight stay at the hospital last night (we're fine BTW, the Dr was just being cautious) and therefore it was a train ride back today because I got discharged 7 hours before boyfriend could possibly have got here from work. So of course on top of the essential bus/train/taxi there was a train station hot chocolate- no NSD for me.
Tomorrow though! (This is the third time I've said this), will get an NSD in tomorrow! I am NOT going out and if I do it is NOT going to be in an ambulance so I will NOT get discharged from hospital halfway through darling boyfriends working day, NOT go to the train station and NOT buy anything at all! So there! And I wantonly defy any Gods who say otherwise!I refuse to be afraid of the big bad wolf, spiders, or debt collection agencies; one of them's not real and the other two are powerless without my fear.
(Ok, one of them is powerless, spiders can be nasty.)
As of the last count I have cleared [STRIKE]23.16%[/STRIKE] 22.49% of my debt.

NSD NUMBER 14 for me Mistress Spoon - did not go to auction after all - stayed in bed as we decided we did not NEED to go. Mind you, about 2 pm, welll after auction had finished, I remembered that there were 2 lovely lengths of worktop in the sale which would have been just right for our kitchen - we put the fridge/freezer in cloakroom with the tall freezer and got a larder fridge for kitchen last week to give more worktop space in our small kitchen - would have got them dirt cheap too I'll bet :mad: Never mind, we will check on Monday or Tuesday to see if the are still there and will definitely be going on Wednesday
Spend day tomorrow as we visit the car boot - spending on cups of tea/coffee, fruit/veg and gammon steaks - and then go to Mr T's to stock up again on Mooolerlights before the offer finishes on Tuesday - luckily we have a fridge/freezer and larder fridge to store lots of them inand a £3 off £20 spend to use against them too !!!
Sorry about your car vandals Kerri - :mad: things like that really get me mad :mad:Mr 3Dogs 3-7-12
