    Let's extend my target and go for 18...tomorrow should be one as we're not going out anywhere, and Monday should be too
    ** Total debt: £6950.82 ± May NSDs 1/10 **
    ** Fat Bum Shrinking: -7/56lbs **
    **SPC 2012 #1498 -£152 and 1499 ***
    I do it all because I'm scared.

    Reporting in with NSD NUMBER 18 which gets me my likkle clumsy Penguin

    So, having made my second target, I think I'll go for 2 extra being Monday & Tuesday as Sunday is normally a spend day at car boot - though I don't know yet what we are doing on Bank Holiday Monday - not that it will be very exciting - we'll be doing the car boot, visiting the car boot, or staying in and sorting car boot stuff - I did say it wasnt exciting didn't I? So, new target is 20

    See you all later in the shed - just thought, it's not the POT-ting shed is it?

    Declaing NSD #17 - target finally reached :T

    ETA: Wasn't sure whether to up my target or not - especially as I can't possibly get all the little characters this month. Tuesday will almost certainly be a spend (D/Debit) day, but that still leaves me two more potential NSDS and I lurrrrrve that little penguin :) So will you please show me as having set a second target of 19 Spoon - thanks :)




    Went for a run yesterday morning, then couldn't get to sleep last night (hence being on here in the wee small hours). But once I fell asleep I was 'gone', and didn't wake up until 10am :eek:

    Have spent most of this afternoon (since about 12:30) dragging out boxes that are full of stockpiled food - mainly cereal bars, dried fruit snack packs and breakfast items so far - and made a start on a major meal plan. It starts on Wednesday (1st Sept) and ends on 31st Dec.....

    I'm allowing for breakfast, morning snack, lunch, afternoon snack, evening meal and supper for each day - and it's coming together nicely :)

    I have 3 days in November missing a morning snack (should be able to find something amongst the tinned/dried fruit in my kitchen cupboards), but otherwise all snacks and suppers are catered for. I've also got a list of enough main meal options for 90% of the plan, but need to jig them around a bit yet so I get a variety in each week (though some - such as salads - are likely to become lunches, due to the fact I have sooooo much stuff in my freezer I want to work my way through).

    Going to work on breakfasts this evening (around Jinty's party)/tomorrow, and then jig around the main meals/lunches over the next few days.......

    So far it's looking like I shouldn't need to buy anything apart from fresh/frozen fruit/veg, salad items, milk, eggs, spread, and replacements for any sauces/condiments/baking items I run out of before 2011 :o I may even have enough cheese in stock to last at least the next 3 months (possibly even the rest of the year), which is really scarey as I nearly re-stocked a couple of weeks ago thinking I'd hardly any in !!!

    Tardis cleaned out now, all the poo swept up, carpets hoovered, cushions plumped up, all comfortable:D:D:D

    Who am I picking up first then? Just starting up the engines (thought I'd lost the key) and getting all the levers adjusted properly and the thingummy drive working), be ready in a few minutes, just off to pick up my records and food:D

    I'm not sure whether to be gobsmacked or impressed Cheryl, what an achievement:T:T
