    Hi NSDers

    I'm pleased to :jreport nsd 22 today:j, which means, i have reached my target. I had two spendy days this week, monday - i bought £10 credit to make international calls , I also withdrew £10 cash to lend a work colleague a fiver, and then spent the balance on my treat of the month:p, a whopper mea:pl, also spent £2:( in an internet cafe as i needed to access the internet urgently while i was out. total spend about £18 pounds, this puts me right on the £30 mark of my SD M0nitoring fund, any spend above that will put me out of budget so fingers crossed that won't happen.

    I'm going to do my own hair today, just a simple wash. blow dry and straighten, because if i don't that will a nsd ruined plus budget exceeded.

    i'm meeting a friend today so we can swap, is it swop or swap? books, so i suggested we meet on a train platform:o, and she's ok with that, nsd rescued:) as normally it would be in *bucks or n3ro followed by a coffee and muffin


    i hope i'm trully over the impulse and extravagant spending:)

    well done all and thanks solventsoon :T:T:Tfor the fab fab fab job u doing.:T:T:T

    Please set me a revised target of 24 spoon, thanks

    Declaring today as NSD no 15, so only one more to reach my first target :j:j

    Spending tomorrow, but should pick up a few NSDs over the BH this weekend. May even revise my target once I get my panda!!

    Right, off to take the dog a walk while the bread is rising. The rain has actually stoped atm, but knowing my luck it will tip it down again as soon as I get out there! :(

    Will finish my stock-take of the freezers and fridge once I get home and the bread in the oven...then I can settle down to meal-plan for the next two weeks.

    Enjoy the rest of the day everyone, (((((hugs))))) to those who need ones.

    Sunnylooloo - not gone yet, but really must go soon as the bread is reaching the sides of the tins!! Don't feel very organized though...have struggled the past two weeks without meal-plans, so trying to get myself sorted while we have no boys here.

    There's three wholemeal, oat & sunflower seed loaves on the go, as well as my first cob. Started using the organic flour and yeast from Claybrooke Mill that I got a few weeks ago, hope everything turns out OK, looking good so far! :)

    DS2 is back tonight from a rugby tournament in Truro - don't think the teams did very well though! :(

    DS1 is "somewhere", supporting his GF with her wide range of job interviews this week...hope she gets the one she really wants!

    Must go now...see you all tomorrow!
