Hi everyone, yesterday was nearly an NSD but at quite literally the 12th hour, i made an online purchase that was too goog to miss!

Today however, has been another NSD so that's me up to 20 NSD's now. Hope everyone is doing okay.

Hi all well yesterday was a spend day as DS and I are going to make ooky jellies on Sunday night for after dinner at my parents house (orange jelly with green custard and sweety spiders etc in it).
Today however was deff a NSD as I forgot my purse when I went out so couldnt buy anything if I wanted!! Did mean that I have made it to 16 NSD's though. Not sure if I will manage any more or not but will keep trying.

Got my refund from NPower from the overcharging *scandal*:eek: a few weeks back. £48.74 better in my pocket than theirs:beer:. I'm adding it to my sig, also got something ending on Ebay tomorrow so that'll be at least £12 more but I'll add that when I know.

Desipite my oven cleaning mishap I am declaring NSD # 19 :j:j:j

Have found a complete oven like ours on ebay, ending tomorrow, for less than the door handle would cost...unfortunately the seller wants the whole oven to go so I'm wondering whether it's worth me bidding on that, getting the oven, swapping the handles and then reselling the other one on ebay?? Only problem is a) collecting the oven - guessing it's not light - although I am sure it would fit in my Clio b) where to put it while re-listing, I can see a grumbly OH if he has to help with the lifting/carrying etc and then we have an oven stuck in the shed....:o:o Its about a 40min drive there and back too so I'm wondering wether it's worth the petrol cost on top of all the other effort?? Any thoughts MSE out there??

Hmmmm...what to do today.....well I've deff started my day later then planned, I had planned to get some shopping bits that we require (cat food etc) which I could do later, but also need to get eyebrows done too and they will close about 5 - 5.30. My oven is also in mid-clean state with the racks in the oven pride bag....oh what to tackle first....

Hmmmmm... self-closing eyebrows, now there's a thought:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

Sorry, kerri, couldn't resist that:D x

Although it looks good, kerri, it will probably end up costing you more in petrol (you'll use a lot of petrol driving back home in a Clio with an oven on board), hassle and aggro from OH - and will you be able to sell it minus the handles anyway? If I were in your position, I'd go for the handle, with a swift reminder for the future that they need careful cleaning.

Just my opinion, but I know how much aggro I'd get from my OH if he kept falling over an unwanted oven that I'd bought:o

Hope it helps x
