    Hi Spoon, NSD no 1 for me please :). I am going to change my rules slightly this month and not include my weekly online tesco shop or petrol as I have these down as far as I can. I will include any other grocery spends though :).

    Unfortunately not a NSD for me, this moring I went out to get some medicine for my son whose full of flu and I wasnt going to count this as a spend, cant say no to a sick child can you.... but then OH decides he fancies bacon and eggs today so my NSD went out the window....:mad: better luck tomorrow, I havent got any plans to go anywhere except school.

    errr.... have you been on the cherry vodka this morning Nargle.. or maybe too many e-numbers?:D:D:D

    Actually, I love the idea of a piratey day on Apple Day, that could be fun - and it's a Thursday so hopefully peeps who are usually busy at the weekend can join in. That's going in the diary now, I think:D


    It's a long wait to the 21st though, I think we deserve a night out before that - ideas anyone?

    And (as if i needed an excuse) its DS's 4th birthday on the 21st :D

    Hi Cheryl, Pr*mark do their 'up top' sports undies for us ladies that don't require quite such secure 'boudler holders' in a 32B (think they do down to 32A in some styles) and upwards, so you should find a 32C in there. (yep...my little ones only require a 32B to keep them jiggling out of place :rotfl:)


    I wish I had the problem of little ones :o being the size I am requires industrial strength support in the up top sports dept!! However Ebay do some rather good ones (and they ARE new :rotfl:) for £7.99 that normally retail for something in the region of £25-£35 which is considerable better!!!!


    Anyhoooooooo it has been another success in the NSD stakes and I have made it to NSD number 2 so I am giving myself a virtual pat on the back :T

    Hope all of you are well - I shall be popping back and forth tonight so as not to "loose" 6 or 7 pages hee hee

  • Hi everyone, happy rainy Sunday.

    I've spent today in my pyjamas and wrapped in my slanket feeling very rubbishy and lethargic. So today is NSD numero 1 :D


  • Could even have a darts tournament on the 28th - on the Ochi day, geddit? (I'll get me coat...)

    :rotfl::rotfl:Nice one.........or should I say "Bullseye!" (Mervyn King lives down the road from me, I'll have to get some tips)

    Cider and Pirates??!?? :eek:

    Definitely messy...............Count me in.

    Declaring NSD 1 today which is quite good for me as normally the start of the month is spendy, spendy, spendy due to DDs/CCs.

    Need to get children off to bed now so I can sit down and watch Friday's episode of Dexter. Oh, and good news, Vampire Diaries starts again this week..........and Fringe..........and Bones starts again this month as well :T:T:T and I think Season 3 of True Blood starts when Season 2 finishes on terrestrial TV :T:T . Oooooo, I love my Sky.

    :rotfl:Just spilt my tea, just seen the new Walkers advert where Gary Linekar is dancing in the rain. Classic :)

    Evening all!

    Elf06 - :rotfl:I do sympathise, I'm glad i don't need to worry about giving myself a black eye or two when exercising, given my coordination (or lack of at times) it would be a recipie for disaster :eek:

    Candyapple - hope you're feeling better soon x

    Spoony - can I announce NSD #2 please :jrather amazed I have managed two already this month - did take OH car out to the car wash today but it was closed so turned around and came straight back.

    Been trying some thrify xmas cooking today - making Nigella's Chilli Jam - so far I have managed to boil the pan all over the cooker which will take some industrial cleaning, OH wandered in and announced 'that smells....interesting' before wandering out holding his nose, and I've had to reboil it for another 10min because it wasn't cooling and turning to jelly :eek::eek: I really hope it turns out better than it currently looks/smells. In 7mins it should be 'of a viscous consistency with chilli flecks suspended throughout the jelly' ...we shall see! :(
