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:)

Oh dear, sorry elf06, I had a good evening yesterday, got you and tjp70 wrong:o:o - I was trying to rush in case my internet connection disappeared again, that'll teach me:o:o

But I see you'e made 15 today so you've got your breakdancing skeleton anway:j, you can just enjoy his company for a day longer than you would otherwise have done:D:D

Hey Spoony - I've just noticed the time....despite lots of naughty internet browsing tonight, I've clocked up #18 as its gone midnight!!! :j:j:j

Today (Thurs) I'm pretty sure will be a spend day as I'm expecting/hoping for a call from the garage to get my car plus the luxury of it again having heating (seriously, I never realised how difficult driving can be without it in this weather).

Well , Almost November- may I please put my name down for the November challange? That would be my first time and I don't want to miss it the way I missed October Chalange... Although I secretly tried in October, not so successfully though -only about 6 NSD. I want to go official and I want 14 days in total in November....

Hi Want_to_be_free, good to have you on board. I'll sign you up for November once the thread is up and running.

Well done for 6 NSDs in October, that's good going for a first attempt:j:j:j.

It's never too late to join us, so if you'd like to join in for the rest of October, please feel free to join in with the banter:D

Good morning everyone -
Thanks Spoon for the skeleton, I must say the prizes are exceptionally good this month! Yesterday was #21 for me! Yay!
Managed to get the doc to refer me to hosp yesterday :j- it was a new doc and I think she was quite shocked at the state of me! I hope I wont have to wait too long for an appointment but Im happy I'm "in the system"

Wont be a NSD today - Mum and I are off to Glasgow for the day. We're off to a craft/ hobby show at SECC. We go every year and have a great day out. I've got some pennies stashed away for today so I daresay I'll end up with some wonderful buys!;) I'll report tomorrow!
Must dash as I'm getting picked up at 7.30!

Have a lovely day everyone:)

Hey, sorry I've not had time to catch up with you all, things seems to be a bit hectic at the moment!

Quick round up of my NSDs or otherwise:
Sat - LSD; as suspected, ended up with a list of things to get for sick friend.
Sun - NSD 12 and target :j Mostly due to been in bed ill all day. That's the trouble with visiting sick people!

Mon - NSD 13 :j Woohoo! First time I've gone over target I think!
Tues - LSD. Had to buy a sandwich and tea at college before dressmaking class - suddenlt realised it was the first thing I'd eaten since a granola bar for breakfast! Ooops! So pretty essential!

Wed - NSD 14 :j:j. 2 days over traget!

However today I'm getting legs waxed and tomorrow I'm off to London for the weekend so that'll be me until November. And even then, the 1st will be out of the question as I'll be heading through to Edinburgh for a study day. I'll give you a wave Jinty .

So I'll catch you all in November (Spoony, can I go for 14 then please? Be pretty tough with 7 birthdays - all close friends and immediate family! Talk about bad planning! But I'll give it a bash.)

Good luck to every-one chading their final NSDs and big hugs to all who need them. See you in the new thread.

Hey Spoons and everyone - can you add another 2 NSDs for me please for yesterday and today I thought today was going to be a spendie but thankfully OH has said that he'll do the shopping on the way home if I clean the piggies cages out so a good deal for me as the last thing I want to do is trapse around the shops at 5pm!! Hopefully the rest of the week will be non-spendy too but we'll have to wait and see!!

ps - sorry if this sounds presumptuous declaring today as a NSD but I know i wotn be near the shops to part with my hard earned pennies!
