    My 1st NSD for October...Long overdue.. at one point I wasn't sure it was ever going to happen...:o

    And I have managed to completely pay off a 3rd debt.. not that it is related to the NSD challenge but I just wanted to tell someone, if that makes sense. None of my family/friends know about my huge debt.

    Well done :T:T on clearing yet another debt...every little helps...as they say!!

    butdoineedit - hope you're feeling better soon...spoon's right, best to get back to work and face your "demons"...brooding over things just makes them seem sooo much bigger!!...I should know, the world's worst procrastinator :o

    Had a great day yesterday at the NEC. Only bought food to eat (took some snacks and plenty of water:))...avoided buying loads of lovely-looking stuff for presents (have planned and written my Xmas list and working my way throough it!). Did get lots of handouts on things we plan on using/buying in the next year or two...so good research. It was good to see the samples in person. Had a lovely meal out in the evening with DS2...a great end to the day.

    Funny (not ha-ha though!!), I too seem to have come down with the sniffles too...I did have my flu jab on Thursday, so hoping it's a reaction to that. My asthma has been bad, and I have gone through a whole box of hankies this morning :eek:. So plans to do some gardening/sewing/knitting have gone out the window....after catching up here and having a bit of lunch, I am going to curl up and have a doze...don't feel up to anything else :(

    So declaring today as NSD no 5 spoon...ain't going nowhere today!!

    Hmm.. your light is still on Cheryl, don't tell me you're still here rather than there?

    I wasn't then - I was on the road about 11:45am, but I don't log out before switching my laptop off, so not sure if it shows me on or off line when I'm not really here.....


    Just bobbed home to sort tea for me and the dog (and let him out - actually the most important of the tasks).

    Now need to find a couple of bits I need for classes at 10pm and 1am(!), then I'm heading back ;)

    Just popping in to say hello. Yesterday and today have been NSDs :j. Which takes me to 5.

    I'm about 4 pages behind you all still so aplogies if I've missed any major gossip! I hope every-one is well!

    I've my fingers crossed that I've not just ruined my dinner by muddling up the oregano and crusshed chillies and being rather liberal with the crushed chillies!!!! I guess it'll clear my sinuses if nothing else! :o

    And number 5!! yipeeeeeee. Wasnt sure if it would be as I wanted to visit a local shop thats closing down and has a 50% off sale but when I did the shop was pretty empty and I would have been buying for the sake of buying so walked away with nothing sign0060.gif

    Hoping tomorrow will be aswell but will wait and see what the day brings - I do know that my gym class is being paid by a friend so heres hoping I'm not tempted by anything else happy0098.gif

    Hope everyone else is doing ok and love0085.gif to those who need them
