    Managed another one today so quietly pleased with that :)
    Beautiful day here today.
    My toilet was making a really funny noise(*sounded very poorly) and was dreading getting the plumber & the ££££'s when suddenly wondered if the plumbing cover with the central heating cover would cover it IySWIM.
    Well yes it did & they have been already.So happy :grin:

  • this has got to be an exercise in self flagination (is that how u spell it???) for me! Yet again I do not meet my target, what am I doing wrong?? 9/10 and have plans today (so need petrol) & this evening (will buy 1 drink). I feel like I barely spend any money but this is clearly not the case.... :o

    I spoke too soon! :j went to visit my friend & decided to chance the petrol, was a wise move as it didn't go to red ;) and have postponed my evening thing as feel a evening of watching a film & snuggling up with oh will make me happier. So I've done it, no plans to go out again today so officially after about 6 months I have reached my target set at the beginning of the month :T

    I'm reporting NSD NUMBER 20 early today as we are at home now and have no intention of going out again, so no chance to spend

    Mr 3Dogs did a car boot this morning - took £9 from which he paid £6 pitch fee leaving £3 which, qute honestly, he spent on coffees and something to eat. But all is not lost, he was indoors and was able to leave the tables up with the stuff on display, all ready for Friday morning, which will save time, and effort, then. He did not expect to take much this morning as Tuesday's car boot has only been going for about 6 weeks or so, and has not taken off yet, but we are hoping that it will build up

    I took my friend to the hospital for her appointment but she gave me change for the ar parking (£2.50 !!!) and also £20 for diesel - I tried to give her it back, as it probably only took about £5's worth of diesel, but she was adamant - she had been terrified of going on her own, and could not have driven home herself anyway - but I was happy to take her, and to keep her company

    Anyway, those 20 NSD's mean that I have met my 2nd revised target and I look forward to receiving my butterfly

    I will pop over now to set my NSD target on the September thread - many thanks Mistress Spoon, Great Guardian of the NSD Challenge Thread for your fantastic work on recording all our NSD's - I really don't know how you keep track of us all but however you do it, you do it with great efficiency and good humour
