    I have managed another NSD today bringing me to number 11 :)

    I also started delivering the election forms this afternoon, don't know how postmen do it; those brushy things behind letterboxes are really hard to get things in !! I had just started to get into it when the heavens opened and I got soaked :eek:. Was determined to finish the street I was in so lots of people have soggy ones :(. Came back home to change clothes and dry off but ended up putting me jammies on.............will do more tomorrow after work.

    I am liking the instant hot choc drink I got from Iceland when I was spending......I'm sure it has saved me money when I want chocolate :o

    Will be ringing mum tomorrow to arrange going up there :)

    Still missing Orphan terribly, went to put some left over gravy into his bowl tonight but it wasn't there :(

    Thank you all for being lovely :heartpuls

    Best get to bed now as doing an early as overtime in the morning....why is there nothing on the telly to doze off to on a Saturday?

    See you all tomorrow xx

    :hello:

    DFD Need to August 2027 :(

    Hi lovely NSD gang :A
    Some wonderful news today for our NSD gang, slowlyfading is engaged. Many, many congratulations from all of us and lots of happiness to you both:heartsmil:heartsmil:heartsmil:heartsmil

    Lots of NSDs flowing in today and another target demolished, keep going everyone:j

    Target met:
    Surfbabe: :jwell done, 10 NSDs are now yours, that’s brilliant. :j Panda is somersaulting his way over to you now (might take him a while to arrive, he’s not exactly quick).
    Do you want to increase your target now or stay at 10 and just get any extras if they arrive?:)

    Well done to:
    :jLuckyBiscuit: well done for no 17 Friday and no 18 Saturday, you’re nearly at target 2 already. Hope OH’s job interview went well and sorry about your knee, that sounds painful:(
    :jelfen: well done for no 14, 2 more to get now, that’s brilliant. Great news about putting money back in the bank:T
    :jBigMumma: well done for no 13 - loving your version of “Superstition” :T(that’s one of my favourite records ever, reminds me of my very mis-spent youth:p)
    :jlosingpatience: well done for no 2, you’re doing well, keep going:)
    :jkarenccs67: welcome back, we missed you. Glad you had a lovely holiday and well done for getting 8 NSDs while you were away - that’s brilliant.:T Up to no 12, only 3 more to get now:T
    :jKeiss 21: well done for no 12 - only 4 more to get now, keep going:)
    :jJwil: well done for no 9, only 2 more to get now, keep going:)
    :j3Dogs: well done for no 14, one more to get now, brilliant. Fingers crossed the worktop is still there next week:)
    :jAngyles: well done for no 9, you’re doing well, keep going:)
    :jsofababe: well done for no 6, you’re doing brilliantly. Fingers crossed for tomorrow:)
    :jCatherineMM: well done for no 10 - double figures, that’s brilliant. Yay to finding £1 in an old handbag:T
    :jmrsinvisible: well done for no 10, double figures is great. Have a lovely girly time tomorrow with DD. Hoping lovely painter Paul can sort your kitchen out for you:)
    :jslowlyfading: well done for getting to no 10, loving your news:j
    :jkathy40uk: well done for no 11, you’re doing brilliantly. Keep going, hun, you’re doing great, thinking about you x:A
    :jkatholicos: well done for no 10, you're doing brilliantly, keep going:)

    And hello to:
    BDINI: have a lovely day, you deserve a break from the DIY and enjoy the meal:)
    pickleiamin: hope you enjoyed the rugby game and well done for being organised on eb@y:T
    kerri gt: oh dear, sorry to hear about your car, what a bummer :(((((hugs))))
    Doughnuts are definitely an essential anti-trauma medicine:)
    ifwishes: hope the new glasses cure the headaches, and you’re not getting old, lots of people need glasses for computer use ;)- the screens are very hard on our poor eyes (not designed for staring at screens all day:()
    pure dead dopey: oh dear to spendy day:( but hope you enjoyed your lunch out.
    Like the new word, sofaaing out has a definite ring to it:T
    Hannah_10: glad you’re OK and fingers crossed for an NSD tomorrow:)
    beanielou: oh dear:( but you’re right, sometimes life gets in the way!
    Ahh thanks, that’s really lovely of you:A. Not too bad most days, only an hour or so, but I’ve been really tired this week so it’s taken me much longer. It helps keep me on the straight and narrow so I really don’t mind doing it, quite enjoy it really.
    Enjoy your glass of rose

    No 16 for me today:j, weather is so carp here I didn’t feel like venturing out - where’s our summer gone:(....

    Off to do the usual update now, see you all tomorrow.

    ‘night everyone
