    :jKeiss 21: well done for no 14, the pumpkin is getting ever closer, keep going.
    Fingers crossed the second lot of meds work. Shame about your trip to your dads but i might be best to postpone it until you’re feeling a bit better. Take care x
    Thanks spoon...may not make it north this year now...had a small window of opportunity....and next week was it!:( At least I saw Dad in the summer (after a break of 18 months due to my illness last year)...but I had been looking forward to it...and delivering presents too!!

    On the positive side....I should make my target of 17 NSDs this month after all now!! :j

    Off to bed now...up too late..but seem to have developed a temperature (meds I hope, and not more lurgy!), and the bed is far too hot for me atm!! So cooling down in the conservatory (14 degrees - wonderful!) for an hour or so before heading up to bedfordshire.

    Night, night all. x

    Hi lovely NSD gang :A
    Update for yesterday and today due to my interwebby problems yesterday. Loads of targets tumbling now, well done everyone:j:j

    Targets met, well done:
    elf06: :jwell done no 14, your breakdancing skeleton is getting ever closer, keep going.:j
    I’ll let you have the odd dance with David, don’t worry.
    Sorry you’re feeling a bit carp, there’s a lot of it going around atm, not good.
    well done for no 15,:j target no 2 smashed, the skeleton is now yours, that should make you feel better!!
    Sorry about the spendy day today, hope it isn’t too serious

    Hi Spoon and thanks but I was only at 14 yesterday :rotfl:. Saying that today should be number 15 and second target met!! Not sure if its me that confused matters or if it was a wee mistake (I honestly dont know how you keep tabs on us all - I have trouble keeping tabs on me alone :rotfl:)

    The spendy day was worse than I had expected but I shall need to have a looky though my receipts later today to see if I've managed to come in on target for my GC (which I suspect I havent :o).

    Still feeling a little bit rubbish so not looking forward to a full day at work but hey ho onwards and upwards :D

    Hope everyone has a good day and I shall be back later to confirm whether today was, indeed, a NSD

    Good morning everyone!

    Yesterday was NSD #20! Not only a personal best for me but also my 2nd target met! I'm just going to stick at that - I may manage another one or two but they will be a bonus!
    Have got a doc appt this morning and I going to have a good chat about my skin, I really need to get sorted with it, so Im hoping to be referred to the hospital.
    Visited my aunt last night - she is in hosp being treated for psoriasis and it has made a big difference.
    Going into work after doc but I dont have to rush about quite so much this morning!

    Have a lovely day everyone!:)


    you will always be rich enough to be generous.

    Good morning all.

    I have been AWOL for a couple of days and sadly have no nsd's to report :( but am confident that today will be one. I will report back later to confirm.

    Spoon - I noticed that you have me down for 7 nsd's but sadly that is a typo. I am on 4.

    Keiss - I hope you feel better today.
    Jinty - amazing number and a pb. Fantastic.

    Morning all

    Wow well done to all those targets met and exceeded.......

    I feel put to shame..............

    Ok today def NSD - we need some bits for supper but Mr Looloo can buy those.

    I must say since I have started doing this - I no longer really buy sandwiches or lunches from the local shops - I now make sure I plan in advance and also use all my leftovers. Amazing how much I save just by doing this.

    I also had money left again at the end of the month which was fab as that is my Christmas fund.

    So thanks Spoony and everyone for this great thread and support you get from it!

    Hya all,

    Just back from the doctors...it seems I am allergic to antibiotics I was given on Monday - temperature and lots of itching :eek:!! So now I have a third lot, as well as some cream for the itching down below IYKWIM ;)

    One good thing though....my wheezing isn't so bad today, despite only getting about 3 hours of sleep last night.....here's hoping the sinisitis will start to clear up by the end of the week :D.

    Having fun (NOT!) trying to change/get a refund on my flights to Scotland. I can claim on my insurance, but there is an excess of £50 (my flights totalled £61), so I would only get £11 back. If I change the flights to the end of November, that is going to cost me an extra £70 (£30
    to change each flight, plus £10 difference in flight costs). If I scrap these bookings and book a new set, then that too will cost me £70...spooky:exclamati Will have to go away and think about this a bit more.....:think: Ofcourse, I could always abandon all hope of seeing Dad before Christmas....:(

    Oh, almost forgot....declaring today as NSD no 15 spoon...spent far too much online yesterday :o

    Head really hurting now...off to have lunch and lie down.
