    Just wanted to drop in and say morning (errr...afternoon, late start for me today but i am on holiday) and well done for all the NSD coming in. Haven't we all done well this month.

    Spoony - that's thrown down the gauntlet for another 2 NSD, I might be able to squeeze them in but I have a few things to get today - eyebrows looking more like Colin the Caterpillar again, OH wants some tom soup and Lidl have an offer on Heinz (will be my only time going past today) plus some other boring household bits we managed to forget when we were shopping. Then I'm out on Sunday with my mum (taking her to see Swan Lake but shhhhh......its a surprise so don't mention it to her ;)) - I've paid for tickets and prepaid parking but I guess it depends if she wants any nibbles etc at the interval (do ballets have intervals? I've never been to one :o) Was also supposed to be catching up with my brother this week but I don't know how it's Thurs already - might suggest next weekend instead - then I'll be safetly in Nov :) So IF I'm good, then tomorrow and Sat could potentially be NSD, but that also depends on when my car is ready - if it's not today then that will make tomorrow a non-NSD anyway :(

    ....ok, I've just seen I have my little witchy already - duh! Told you I'd just rolled out of bed lol! However, I'd love to get to 20 - not that I get just a teeny bit competitive at times....even with myself lol!

    ps Are we going to have Guy Fawkes themed prizes for Nov Spoony? Plllleeeeeaaaassseeee....... x

    Declaring today as NSD no 16...just realized I only have one more to go!!!

    Tomorrow will be a spend as we are out of eggs (again...DS2 off for half term means our food doesn't last as long :D) as well as some F&V.

    I should pick up one, if not two NSDs over the weekend...fantastic!!!
    :j

    Have been quite productive today so far...things have taken longer than normal, and I am absolutely k*******d now, but at least I have got things done!!

    So I have made over 100 hobnobs and have four loaves of bread rising nicely atm. I also cooked up the second half of the meatballs I made last night with some HM tomato (& loads of veg :D) sauce. They are now in tubs cooling, heading for the freezer later, as well as the rest of the tom sauce....very useful for pizza/fajitas etc.

    I also managed a trip to the physio for an hour (wrote the cheque on Tuesday, my last spendy day :D). I only go every 8 weeks now and she was quite pleased, though she still managed to find lots of knotty sore bits in my muscles ! :eek:

    It will be lunch soon followed by a long sit down to get going with more knitting...really must take more piccies as I have made a few things in the past week.

    Have a great day everyone...despite the weather! :o
