You’re all doing brilliantly this month, loads of targets tumbling. The front page is awash with pumpkins, skeletons, ghosts and witches now, well done everyone:j:j

Targets met, well done:
nicca: :j well done for getting to 12 NSDs, target smashed now, that’s brilliant. The pumpkin is coming your way now, just in time for hallowe’en.:j
And well done for nos 13 and 14,:j target trampled underfoot now, witchy on the broomstick is flying your way, hope she makes it for hallowe’en, it’s a long way to Scotland.;)
Enjoy your weekend in London and see you in November:D
elfen: :j well done for getting to 14 NSDs, target smashed now, that’s brilliant. The pumpkin is coming your way now, just in time for hallowe’en.:j

swanny: :j increasing your target to 13 now, good luck with the remaining one
And you made it, target no 2 smashed, :jyou are now the proud owner of a breakdancing skeleton who is making his way up to you now. It might take him a while as it’s a bit chilly, but he can take pride of place with your demented pumpkin!:D

Well done for NSDs rolling in:
:jjintyb: well done for no 21 today, target no 2 exceeded, witchy is making her way to you now on her broomstick - it’s a long way to Scotland so she might take a while.:D
Glad you managed to get referred yesterday, it probably helped that you saw a new Doctor.:)
Hope you have a lovely day at the SECC and you get lots of lovely things - and you did.. The cupcake moneyboxes sound lovely and I love that Sirdar Fizz yarn it knits ups brilliantly. Well done for spending wisely:T
:jAllieBallie: well done for getting to no 12, one more to get now, keep going
Lovely OH doing the shopping for you - can I borrow him - I hate food shopping:mad:....
Declaring early isn’t presumptuous at all, it stops us spending, so very wise:T
:jLooloo: well done for getting to no 17, one more to get now, woo woo indeed:)
:jKeiss 21: well done for no 16, one more left now, keep going. Fingers crossed for the weekend. :T
Wow.. busy day today, hope you haven’t worn yourself out too much, take it a bit easier tomorrow. :A
Would love to see some piccies of everything you’ve made, it might inspire me to get my butt in gear again...
Ooohhhh 1000 posts - well done:T:T
:jbex2002: well done for getting to no 12, nearly there now, keep going.
Hope OH gets better soon and congratulations on your new niece:T

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.

Ideal for a first ballet, kerri, small theatre and seats near the front of the balcony - you'll have a great view.

Hope you enjoy it

Oooh jinty wool sounds fab~scarf will be so cool
Cupcakes sound fab too
Just seen an add for it & see its on til Sunday.

Thanks Beanie - in a way Im glad I dont live nearer as I would be back at the show again. I'm wishing I'd bought a few more of the ceramics - she had lovely mugs that looked like ice cream sundaes - ideal for Mr Luca fans like us;)
Think I wil be investigating her website!

Spoon - thanks for letting me know that the Fizz yarn knits up well. It was a wee bit fiddly to cast on but Im up and running and at £1 a ball youcant go wrong ( famous last words!) Thanks for my witch!

Good morning everyone,

Very blustery here today - just preparing to head to Mr T for shopping. Have got 2 £10 off wys £30 vchrs so I've split my shopping list into a food list at@ £30 and a pet food list @£30 to take advantage. Its too good an offer to pass up and it means I'll be well stocked up with dog/cat food, the prices of which seem to be spiralling every week.:(
One or two little bits needed other than that - lightbulb, a craft knife and glue for doing my cards and I'm also off to the library.

Will be back later to catch up

Have a lovely day everyone:)

Hey Gang :wave:..seems to be the week for :mad: & foot-stomping outrage I've had nothing but appointments at weird times all week & have to scoot off for another in 30 seconds :eek: but I've exceeded my target & can claim No 18 :j

It's a wonder I've got here today really, as my daily notification hasn't been working for my favouritist thread --any suggestions as to what I can do, as it is still listed as 'subscribed' in my little box thingy?

Morning Spoony and gang, I have been away for a week and can honestly say I have been rubbish and spent everyday. However, I have not spent a lot each day so feeling quite pleased with myself as came back with money left over! I am going to make a last ditch effort to recuperate some NSDs and do not intend to leave the house today. So fingers crossed, will let you know later.
