    Number 16 for me today !!!

    Went mooching again, didn't spend any cash, only energy.
    Found coats for ds1, but were all very expensive so going to buy him one next week or the week after.

    So its looking good so far :D

    And he comes complete with his own Tardis lol!

    He does indeed, Kerri, I'd quite like to be driven for a change, rather than being the driver:D:D:D

    Hi lovely NSD gang :A
    Update for the weekend after me neglecting you all yesterday:o:o. Lots of NSDs rolling in this weekend and targets tumbling merrily. Well done everyone:j:j

    Targets met, well done:
    kerri gt: yay... :jtarget no 2 tumbles, well done you. You are now the proud owner of a demented pumpkin, a breakdancing skeleton and 15 NSDs - what more could you possibly want?:j
    Increasing your target to 17 now - the dancing ghost could soon be yours - a fine assortment to bring to our hallowe’en ball next Sunday:D
    Your talk about your ceilidh and high heels brings back some memories I was desperately trying to forget:o
    Hope you enjoyed the dinner and drinks yesterday, even though you spent too much - has to be done occasionally. How did the eb@y listing go?

    Had a yummy date with Mr Luca Jinty :grin:
    Worth loosing my NSD for.

    Ooh...........I'm jealous! I love their ice cream, esp the strawberry. Glad you enjoyed it Beanie! Did you see me waving as you went by?;)
    (((((big hugs)))))) Keiss & Jinty, hope you are both feeling better soon

    think i overdid it, & i have a very messy finger, i have discovered if you hit your finger really hard with a hammer it bleeds a lot & resembles a burst sausage... nice!!! & typing takes forever as i have to shout OWWWW every time it catches the keyboard!!!
    Still at least it's not my pint holding hand, as i'm thinking of a long overdue catch up at the pub tomorrow as the football's on the tv :beer:

    Owwww! Well done with the DIY, but that sounds so sore! Thanks for the kind wishes!:A


    you will always be rich enough to be generous.

    Good morning everyone!
    Very frosty here today, just dropped OH off at the bus stop and its decidedly chilly!
    Skin has calmed down a bit and yes, Spoon, I think you're right re last week. I need to pace myself a bit. I also think this outbreak is to do with a change of shower gel. The one I bought was meant to be "free of all known allergens" obviously not!:mad:
    Well done you for choosing David Tennant for your partner for the ceilidh, I never thought of the added bonus of the Tardis! We could also have Captain Jack along as he is also Scottish (he can throw me around the dance floor anytime), although I dont want Euan to get jealous;)

    Today Im off to buy a nice box of chocs for my Aunt and post some letters. Other than that Im doing nowt except peel some spuds for tea and ironing. So low spend for me today.

    Have a lovely day everyone:)


    you will always be rich enough to be generous.
  • Just checking in with 14 to declare - target achieved :j :j
    I'm going to just see how many more I manage rather than set a new target so I'll keep you up dated.

    Number 7 for me yesterday after a very spendy week :rotfl:
  • Morning all

    A very frosty but sunny day over at my parents in Warwickshire which was nice to wake up to. Should be a NSD for me today as I am without a car, it's sat at home over in Lincolnshire and my OH isn't back until 5.30pm and to be honest there is nothing I actually need!!

    Hope everyone has a good day.

  • morning coooold and verrry frosty

    I think I'll put my dibs on John Barrowman for the knees up, I can't think of anyone better for a spot of country dancing, and you know I think he may like a wee drink............

    and he knows how to work the Tardis, so can help if Spoon and David are.....er......busy!
