Yay, NSD number 12 today!

Thank you for my little witchy spoon

Oops! Forgot to say that I did indeed make my additional NSD today, so have exceeded my target by 1 :T

Can't say I didn't go out - but I didn't take any money with me on my 2.24 mile dog walk or 3.85 mile run this morning

Have spent the last 3 hours or so blitzing my en-suite - and I'm not finished yet :eek:
I pulled everything out that could be taken out (including the toilet seat which had a good soak in the bath), scrubbed down everywhere, re-assembled the toilet, and then started to catalogue the toiletries I pulled out as I put them back..... this being the part that's taking longest, and is still a work in progress

So far I have 69 entries in my spreadsheet (listed by make and size as well as item, so I can value them for a full stocktake I can now keep up-to-date ready for year end/moving into 2011), although some items appear more than once (one line for an opened item, and one line for unopened ones) - but I still have more than as much again to go!!

And never mind the shame of how many of some items I have, the real shame is how many of some things I have open - 4 shower gels, 3 shampoos, 2 conditioners and 3 tubes of hair removal cream so far


Am of to sort out my tea now (Enchilladas pulled from freezer this morning to go into the oven and a salad to assemble) as I'm actually feeling hungry - which is a first in months


Hoping to be at the Halloween bash later on, but I'll be sitting in a corner with a box of toiletries and my laptop so I can carry on my stock-taking for much of it I think......

I'm declaring a miserable and pathetic 9 for October, though this month I've been pretty miserable and pathetic generally so that probably explains my complete lack of focus, and total rubbishness:(

Come on Spoon, get the Tardis cleaned up for the trip to the Halloween bash......on second thoughts, forget it, the cobwebs will provide atmosphere...but I don't like the look of that pool of green stuff in the corner........

Something to do with the last trip me thinks? Cider or cocktails...or was it both? :rotfl::rotfl:

Well hopefully, as we're off to Alnwick Castle, people will behave with a little more decorum.

Excuse me, just going to get my whips and chains out of the cupboard. Igor??? Have you finished ironing my Morticia Addams dress yet?

IF

I'm all ready Nargle........skeleton's playing up a bit mind!!:eek:

Both I think, kerri, it doesn't half pong. I need dopey's aliens to help clean it off, no sense of smell..... ahh.. here they are, right you two, bucket, mops, off you go, I'm off to make myself beautiful for our dance - and no interfering with my skeleton, either, got it???:D

errr.... not much chance of that, I'd reckon, Nargle, we're not exactly renowned for our decorum:D
