    I think I might squeeze out one more NSD on Saturday then that will be it for October. Only 9 - disappointing, but at least it's 9 days that nobody has had their greasy mitts on my dosh.

    What are we doing for our Halloween bash, then? I rather fancy dressing up as Morticia Addams a la Anjelica Houston - she's tall, I'm not, she's American, I'm not, she's dark, I'm fair....apart from that we're identical twins.....

    Am going to try and do a triple of NSDs, all I need is milk which I'm allowed to buy under the grocery budget
    ** Total debt: £6950.82 ± May NSDs 1/10 **
    ** Fat Bum Shrinking: -7/56lbs **
    **SPC 2012 #1498 -£152 and 1499 ***
    I do it all because I'm scared.

    Hello all!!

    Another one for me please Spoon, number 14 i think :j

    Another busy night, this time a major clean up & i baked a really yummy New York Cheesecake for work tomorrow (leaving cake for the manager), now i'm shattered after my early start, & a little bit achy from all the kicking & punching i did earlier in the training, which was brilliant by the way (& i now see myself as Lara Croft in Tomb Raider... yeah right!!!)

    Am definitely up for a chilled out weekend, roll on tomorrow evening!!!

    Forgotten when I last posted, but up to 14 so far. Need 2 out of the next three days - might just be possible! Bad bad week - if I just hide under my duvet until its November then I'll go over my target!! :)

    Hope everyone is well, no time to catch up - any news on the NSD baby? xx
    Trying to jump back onto the moneysaving wagon .... :cool:

    Well done on the cheese Cheryl - I'm a total cheese fiend so I am suitably green with envy about that one.

    Nargle - you should know better than you knock your NSD total - :naughty:

    Sadly today has proved a spendy day for me (as suspected) finally got my car back - now deluxe model with heating again....sadly my bank balance is now £150 lighter :eek: I'm not really surprised about the cost as car stuff is always a pain in the bank balance and the guys did fit the part in 1/2 hr, but its a cost I could have really done without.

    Tomorrow going to be a spendy day as I didn't make it to town today to get a few bits I need - my idea I might get 20 isn't looking too hot atm :(
