The octosyllabic October NSD challenge

3Dogs

Popping in to report NSD NUMBER 6 due to not being able to go out today as van still poorly - it's the starter motor that's gone kaput :mad: £110 or £172 at local motor factors depending on model :eek: £25 at scrap yard but after hubbie cycled 5 miles to get there, he found it's the wrong one :mad: so it's either £70 on eBay delivered on Tuesday or hoping to get one at another scrap yard on Monday for about £25 or so

Still, as I say, it got me my NSD today. Hubbie is getting a lift to the car boot in the morning (3 am :eek:) so he can still do his car boot which is just as well as we need some extra money to pay for the part - but it means that I won't be able to go down

Lots of hugs needed on here at the moment - and tissues too

Yesterday wasn't. Today was. Tomorrow may or may not be, but right now I'm on 4.


(Only a member of the NSD gang could possibly understand that load of old gobbledegook)

It's our own secret language, Nargle:D:D

Good morning everyone

Verrrrrrrry early today - woke up and couldnt get back to sleep!
Reporting NSD # 7 for yesterday - went to the book fair and to two talks but didnt spend anything - a first where books are concerned! :rotfl:
Got another event today hosted by Ian Rankin (of Rebus fame) which is all about crime writing. Should be good, plus the tkt was FREE!
Have a lovely day everyone:) ( once the sun comes up;))

Snap! Very annoying! There must be something in the air ...

Anyhoo, I too managed a NSD yesterday - most unexpected, but I'm not complaining - every little counts! So my running total is now up to 6 NSDs - woo hoo!

I might still go on my motorbike trial ride later on

Shhh! Keep that one quiet - BigMummaF, Hannah_10 and I are riders, but some of our fellow NSDers aren't fans BTW I love how the Earl of March lets Dougie Lampkin ride through his "house and garden" - check out these:vid 1 and vid 2.

Have a good rest of the weekend everyone, and enjoy the forecast sunny weather!

Well, I'm not technically a rider - having never been in control of a motorbike before.:eek: I'm trying it out on private land for free - this company offers free rides so I thought I would take them up on it, but I have no money, and no space to buy a bike. I'm doing it for fun really. I suppose the idea is they offer the free rides in the hope that you want to continue with it afterwards, but being the money savvy saver that I am, it won't work....I hope. I didn't manage to get to it this weekend since I was too ill yesterday, so have moved it to next weekend.
I loved those vids though. :D

NSD number 3 finding it hard going this month. Still no heating so getting really really annoyed:mad:. No where to go today but about half a ton of rubbish to sort out my kids have got too much.
