The NSD way to a supreme September

11 nsds so far for me

Number 12 for me today :T

Two-thirds of the way through the month, and two-thirds of the way to my target...... just got to hang on in there and not give in to any Whoopsie temptations now

Did buy a paper from work (to get 10% discount), then walked to Mr T to get the free DVD and a bag of sweetcorn - but these were spends from my 'specifically allocated' funds, so don't count against me today

Just a quick check in - have been super busy but am up to 8 days including today. Tomorrow should be ok for one more, then it'll just be 2 to go - don't want to Jinx myself but looking good.....:j

Right just flying by to say Hi and can you up my count one please Spoony, yesterday was a success.

Chris if you're ever in Cornwall give me a shout, strength allowing it'd be an pleasure to head out for a slow ramble... or a not slow one. I'll borrow some metal for a day if I'm not on a machine of my own again by then. I'm pretty sure I can scrounge something somewhere. Tiz refreshing to meet a likeminded soul instead of all the usual "oh no, I could never consider anything that wasn't a Davidson/at least 130bph/British-Built" brigade. There's not a bike out there that doesn't have a purpose and a context. Thank God for £200 running-wrecks and £40k specials, we need'em all.

Spoony!.. Don't forget that Thursday, 23rd of this month is Mabon, the Autumnal Equinox, I think the exact (roughly) time is 3:09am GMT. I'm so excited!!.. :j:j

Oooh... didn't know that Geebee, maybe we should have a celebration (mind you, at 3.09 am there won't be many of us around, maybe we should have it at 3.09 pm instead:D)

oooh I was bad, with Mr Dopey in Newcastle for the GNR. he did brilliantly came in in 2 hour 15 mins which is pretty good considering it was his first ever half marathon (probably his last as well!!!) It was a very expensive weekend, staying at the most expensive (and orrible) travel lodge in the world £104, they should have been on big black horses with masks, and since everyone was running for charity, they should be very ashamed of their profiteering. I took longer to get from the start to the finish than mr Dopey, it started to involve the car, several trains, a 2 miles route march and a stumble around the seafront at South Shields in torrential rain in totally unsuitable shoes, then when I found my baldy man in tinfoil (in among about 3000 baldy men in tinfoil, I might add), we had to do the whole thing in reverse , then get out of newcastle and drive home to Scotland, didn't get home until past 10, was totally bushed and I never even ran anywhere. He did raise loads of money for Help for Heroes and it was very worth it but it was hard work!! loads of wonderful geordies who cheerfully helped me to the finish even though chaos was erupting all around their lovely city, great support but an awful lot of people. When the metro trains were arriving at the nearest station to the finish, people just erupted out when the doors opened, it was very err cosy in there, let me tell you. So no NSDs but a great two days and a very satisfied Mr Dopey. Still sleeping and nursing his blisters!!

Yay .. well done to Mr Dopey:j:j:j

Glad you had a good couple of days Dopey, the atmosphere at the GNR is supposed to be second to none:D:D

Managed no 16 on Sunday,:j so a very happy spoon, but had to do some spending today. Hopefully it should be no 17 tomorrow, fingers crossed.

Off to do the usual update now, see you all tomorrow.
