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

Mistress Spoon

Ahh... thanks, 3Dogs, I really appreciate that.

I have a very organised brain so don't really have that much problem keeping track of you all, and I do actually enjoy doing this, it's really keeping me on track, so a bonus all round I reckon:D:D

Hi lovely NSD gang :A
Last day of August and loads more targets tumbling today and NSDs rolling in - well done everyone, this has got to be a record month for NSDs and for posts - 101 pages so far:j:j...

Targets met:
micron: :jwell done, 20 NSDs done and dusted and your target met, that’s brilliant. :j Panda is ambling his way over to you now (he’s a bit tired with all this somersaulting and tumbling but he should be with you by tomorrow morning).
And an additional 2, taking you to 22 as well. Tropical island and some sunshine is heading your way now:j
Will sign you up for 20 for September, look forward to seeing you over there

Sorry you’ve had some health issues this month, hope you’re OK now. Look forward to seeing you on the September thread
determined new ms: :jwell done for getting to no 9, that’s a real achievement, don’t beat yourself up about one additional NSD. Keep posting on here, that seems to be the key, come and see us every so often and we’ll give you lots of encouragement - keep going
Update: well done, 10 NSDs now and your target achieved, that’s brilliant:j
Panda is ambling his way over to you now, he’s going to need plenty of tlc and some bamboo shoots before he can do any more somersaults though!
3Dogs: :jwell done, 20 NSDs and three targets smashed, that is some achievement. Your little pink butterfly is floating your way now, make sure panda doesn’t do a somersault onto her!:j
chris81418: you gotta be quick to keep up with us, you know!!
:jwell done, 19 NSDs done and dusted and your target met, that’s brilliant. Panda is ambling his way over to you now (he’s a bit tired with all this somersaulting and tumbling but he should be with you by tomorrow morning).:j
BDINI: yay.....:j 16 NSDs done and dusted and your target met, that’s brilliant. Panda is on the way, but he needs some tlc (and bamboo shoots) now before he can manage another somersault.:j
Really pleased you made your target after the very spendy month you’ve had, see you in September for more of the same!:T
LfV: :jwell done, 20 NSDs and three targets smashed, that is some achievement. Your little pink butterfly is floating your way now, make sure panda doesn’t do a somersault onto her!:j
Love the songs this month, hope we can have some more in September:T

GeorgieFTB: :jwell done, 8 NSDs done and dusted and your target met, that’s brilliant. Panda is on the way, but he needs some tlc (and bamboo shoots) now before he can manage another somersault - hope you’re pleased with your panda:j.
Glad the challenge has helped you save money - that’s the idea and it’s great when it works:T

Well done to:
:jteenyweenyspender: well done for getting to no 13 - no need to be disappointed in 13 NSDs, that’s quite an achievement, so very well done
:jshoe_gal_84: well done for no 9, you’ve done brilliantly, very nearly at target
:jhoney: well done for no 6, nearly there this month. Loving your determination, we’ll give you loads of support in September
:jBigMumma: well done for no 22 - well and truly esconced on your tropical island now
:jnzseries1: well done for getting to no 9 - nothing wrong with 9 NSDs, you should be really pleased with that achievement, so not “quite poor” at all. Hope you’re joining up for September
:jLuckyBiscuit: well done for no 24, you’ve had a brilliant month
:jbeanielou: well done for no 14, that’s a tropical island for you as well now, you’ve built up quite a collection this month.
Great news about your central heating cover and that everything’s now fixed again
:jboultdj: well done for no 18, you’ve had a brilliant month, well and truly rooted on the tropical island now
:jkatholicos: well done for no 16, yay indeed, well and truly installed on the tropical island now, that’s brilliant!
:jkerri gt: well done for no 13, you’ve had a great first month - glad you’ve enjoyed it
:jconf: well done for no 5 - you’ve done well to get your 5, you should be pleased with that. Look forward to seeing you in September
(PS: love the new avatar..)
:jkatenut: well done for no 16, over your target now, so you have your own tropical island now - enjoy! Glad panda has settled down OK, he’ll be fine with the rabbit and guinea pigs
:jfi76: well done for getting to no 9, you’ve done brilliantly to get to no 9, that’s quite an achievement. Like the determination for September

And hello to:
jintyb: thanks for the link re stovies, they look very tasty, will try them in the winter
ilovetea: hi, good to see you back again, thought we’d lost you. Look forward to seeing you on the September thread:D
kathy40uk: glad you enjoyed the takeaway yesterday, you deserved a treat. 15 NSDs is really good, you should be pleased with that. Look forward to seeing you on the September thread, will sign you up now:D
slowlyfading: 16 NSDs is a brilliant achievement, well done.:T When you consider that you’ve moved house, had all that expense and things to buy for the house, you’ve got engaged, and still had time to fit in 16 NSDs - that’s something to be proud of - well done!
webitha: hope you enjoyed the biscuits;)
pickleiamin: will sign you up for September, look forward to seeing you there:D

cw18: more great bargains today on the whoopsie front, well done:T
BL: 6 NSDs is a great achievement, you should be pleased with that, well done:T

Hya folks

Sorry I missed the party at the weekend...had a big of a bug which left my eyes feeling sooo itchy and sore. Had to abandon the computer and sewing...not great! :eek:

Still feeling a bit grotty, but the eyes are slowly recovering, though catching up on the last 17 pages is enough for me atm. Will have to catch up on the new thread another time.

Very pleased to anounce that I picked up NSDs on Saturday, Sunday and Monday! That gives me a total of 19 NSDs for August,:j passing my second target of 18, so panda and palm tree please spoon!

Off to get tea sorted and walk the dog before everyone comes in. DS2 back at College rugby training (enrolment proper is next week). DS1 is coming back soon from having met up with a friend in Worcester, should be back for tea though.

Will see you all over on the September thread tonight/tomorrow.
