    Saturday was NSD #12, and today was NSD #13.

    9 days left this month, of which I need to keep at least 4 as NSDs to meet my target.
    2 of them are ear-marked as spend days, as I'm expecting D/Debits to go out of my account (Fri for one, and probably 31st for the others as the D/Debits would normally go out on 28th which is Saturday meaning they'd get pushed to Monday - but I've just realised that's the Bank Holiday, so they won't be going out then either! Guess I'm going to have to check my account every morning and be ready with a shopping list when they do go out ;) ).
    But I think I'm going to need milk before the first of those, so that looks like 3 days I won't be able to utilise :o

    Guess I've got my work cut out keeping the other 6 clear.......

    :hello:Hi all xxx


    Only a quickie tonight as I'm shattered again, work, envelopes then rang mum which was lovely as my brother was there visiting so got to talk to him too :)

    Will be going up on 31st for a few days :). Am looking at trains though, driving to Birmingham would be too scary I think :eek: mind you there are some deals from London Midland so will check their site later.

    Managed number 12 today which is a relief, am hoping I can eke my petrol out till Tuesday when I meet up with my mate for coffee to avoid two spendy days :think:

    Right off for some hot choc and bed xxx

    Hugs to everyone xx

  • Hi everyone, just popping in to declare another NSD, taking me to 13 now.

    :)

    Who am I to disagree?
    I've now got up to NSD thirteen,
    Two more to go till I get my panda!"

    Sorry, just murdered one of my all time faves.

    I can remember when this came out (Eurythmics not Marilyn Manson). The boys at the local disco sat in the middle of the floor with their legs crossed, just like Annie Lennox did in the video :rotfl:. Just been reminded of it as I'm watching the film 'Gamers'. Totally bonkers and great if you're a fan of the beat em up/kill everything in sight video games. Not really my cup of tea but enjoying watching the lead man and Michael C Hall (Dexter)!

    Hugs to everyone that needs them and hope you've all had a good weekend.
    Life is knowing which bridges to burn and which bridges to build! :think:

    3Dogs urgh I've had to do that a couple of times and don't people in the queue behind make a fuss! I had it happen once when I was a lot younger (and gobbier) so I turned round to face the huffity fat old bird behind me and said nice and clearly "it'd take one fraudulent transaction for this to be you now so either shut up or p*** off". More people grinned than scowlled! She plumped for the latter! :cool::rotfl:
    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. :(
