    Might not get chance to post for a few days as we're going to stay with family over the weekend and coming back midweek. Will try and clock up at least a couple more NSDs while I'm away. Hope everyone else manages to keep up the good work!

    sent mr D to do the shopping as I had a ton of work to do
    we'll be eating strange combinations for the next week, and he's started his fixation with pistacio nuts again, must be nearly Christmas...........

    me bramleys are all bruised, must have been that rocking and rolling boat last night, seem to remember a combine harvester as well????? could have been the drink.........

    so since Mr D did the shopping, I'll have another NSD please Spoon, thank you very much.

    A St Andrew's night celebration is a great idea, we have to country dancing and we need a good band, cos they need to tell you what to do, once fell over rather spectacularly doing an Orcadian Strip the Willow, caused chaos and knocked down another 4 people, och its easy done in the heat of the moment. (and possibly under the influenze of a wee sensation of alcohol)

  • Pppphhhhhhhhhhhhhhheeeeeeeeeeeeeewwwwwwwwwwwww!!!! Evening all!! What a night!! I've only just finished clearing up from last night's festivities! Found a few things left behind so if anyone's missing anything let me know! I seem to have made a new friend in a rather beautiful parrot!

    Right well, I've had a pretty good day today! :) Had good feedback on my nvq work! Woop woop!! Best of all though I haven't spent anything! :D So that's 6 for me!

    Having a quiet night in tonight :) Far too cold to leave the house!!!

    Sorry to hear about your mum 3Dogs, I know how frustrating it can be when you don't think your parent is getting the much-needed care they need. ((((((Big hugs)))))) I hope things improve for you soon.

    Hi all.

    I thought I was on for an NSD today. Then as I went to add milk to my morning coffee, I noticed the milk had run out and the pesky kids had used up all the spare in the garage fridge, without telling me! The air was blue for a few seconds and the cat now knows a new swear word!

    So, still stuck at 3 with half term looming - eek.
    If Plan A fails, remember there are 25 more letters

    Nicca I so wish you were my shoe size :D

    A spend day for me but it was payday. Still I'm hoping to reach target tomorrow as I'm assuming as always everything on the tardis powered ennessdee will be free?!:D

    Just curious; what is your shoe size?

    Good afternoon everyone!

    Yesterday was NSD number 15 for me! Woo hoo!

    It was even a Profit Day as I sold a couple of items on eBay!



    You're on! I need the motivation!! Over the last couple of days I've managed to list 10 items/lots - a few of them are job lots, as I want my treasure shifted sooner rather than later, and don't want to be doing hundreds of runs to the post office.

    So far I've sold 2 of those items, and I've got 2 more items/job lots to list - hopefully, I'll do that today, because if I don't, I wont get round to it until next week!

    Welcome to the club OneStepATaTime - I'm sure Spoon will give you your official welcome you soon!

    Good luck collecting more NSDs today everyone - and good luck with listing items on eBay nicca! ;)

    Right... so I need to list at least 12 to match you... (probably more by now!) And this weekend is free listing... So that's my weekend plans sorted then!!! :D

    And that'll be NSD 11 for me please too! One more for target! Woohoo! With a bit of planning I may be able to beat my target for the first time since NSDing! Not before time I tell you. :rotfl:

    Evening all....unexpectedly I am on track for a NSD today...but not declaring yet....still 2hrs 11mins to go and don't want to tempt fate....

    niccatw - I just saw the thread about the free listing weekend, which is great - I missed the last one being out of the country and I have a few items that haven't gone at the car boots because of the price but I am not letting a worn once Ben Sherman shirt go for £2, nor a Chilli Pepper dress (brand new) going for £1 either.... so been waiting to list on ebay to hopefully get a decent price and not lose out if the item doesn't sell....now where's me camera gone...???? Good luck for your NSD target x
