The octosyllabic October NSD challenge

chris81418

Good morning everyone!

Yay! Yesterday was NSD number 21 for me, meaning I'm 1 NSD short of meeting my revised target! I'm meeting my cousin for lunch today, but he did say that it's on him, so fingers crossed that today will be another NSD and I'll get my skeleton in time for Halloween!

Good luck collecting more ghostly NSDs everyone and have a good weekend!

Cheryl,

congrats on getting your bike - and well done on getting the deal you wanted.
Glad you got your physio sorted too!
One question though - are the new panniers Whoopsie friendly? LOL!!

Most definitely :rotfl:

The first ones the chap showed me (£10/pair cheaper) were OK, but then I spotted the ones I got which are a LOT bigger (may even take my 12x12 papers so I can cycle to crops - scrapbooking get-togethers - instead of using the car ) and came with waterproof covers that the cheaper ones didn't

And the best bit was that - as well as getting a £20 accessories discount 'cos I was buying them at the same time as a bike, and the larger ones already being reduced by £10/pair on a special offer - because the panniers and the pannier holder were both a specific make (the cheaper ones were a different label) I also got a further £12.50 multibuy discount (BOGOHP) which wasn't marked on the shelves, and neither the chap or I realised until he scanned them..... so the panniers were effectively £2.50 cheaper than the smaller ones he was recommending :T


EDIT: Just checked on-line, and the ones I got have a 21 litre capacity per pannier bag (so 42 litres total). The ones he showed me first (obviously down to my issues on prices of bikes) are 10 litres per pannier bag (20 litres total). I knew 'mine' were bigger, but didn't realise there was that much of a difference

Well done on getting your bike and panniers Cheryl...way to go!!!

Also, amazingly quick with the physio! Hope you get the help you need.

Declaring today as NSD no 17, so I have reached my target!! :j:j

Now spoon, do you think I dare increase my target to 18, thus having to make tomorrow an NSD? Oh, all right then...I will up my target to 18.

Still feeling a bit wiped out, didn't sleep well last night. I've been up since 8am, but I have washed and hung out two loads of washing, with another in the machine. I have also tidied and sorted up my muddles in the conservatory, which is acting as my crafting room too..what a mess it was!

My spreadsheet has been rearranged to include my crafting stuff as separate entries. I will do a more detailed separate one next week, but looks like I have spent just over £100 on crafting stuff this month :eek:(including sweets I am going to wrap up/decorate)...just hope I can sell enough to cover this cost!!! If not...I have plenty of chocolate to console myself :rotfl:

Right, off to heat up the soup for lunch...yummmm

Enjoy the rest of the day folks.
