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.....

Nargle, tut, tut ........ not disappointing at all, 9 NSDs is brilliant, maybe not your target but still brilliant:j:j:j

We're off to Alnwick Castle, I think. It's haunted so the pumpkins, witches, skeletons and ghosts can all have fun, and we can dress up and have a party:D:D:D

Unless anyone has any othe suggestions?

Evening everyone

NSD No 13 for me today.

Probably will be my final total with Friday being a erm spendy day.

And Saturday i'm off to the Palace.

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

((((hugs)))) kate, quite a few of us (me included) have had a carp week, don't know what's going on. I'd like to hide under my duvet until the end of December actually, but don't think that's going to happen:(

Take care

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 )

Yes, ballets do have intervals, kerri, otherwise there would be puddles in the aisles and everyone would be frozen stiff in their seats. Swan Lake is quite a long ballet, so be prepared. It's brilliant though, I love it, my favourite:j:j:j. Which company are you seeing? x

Ohhh...thank goodness for that - we're going to see the Moscow Ballet - La Classique.

Its something i've thought about taking my mum to for a while now (bit of family background to why which i won't go into) but the cost and hassle of travelling to London (although we're only 30mins from Paddington on the train) has always made me put it off. This one is in a smallish theatre about 30mins drive away (two junctions up the motorway) so I thought it was ideal. I've booked us balcony seats near the front so we should have good seats.
