Re the new thread each month, I put a link on a post towards the end of the month and then repeat it again a day or so later, so no excuse for not joining us next month. As karma-chi says though, we’re usually around the front page so you can’t really miss us:D

Hello lovely NSD-ers
Just a reminder that tomorrow is Freethought Day and we thought we'd have one of our virtual outings to New York to celebrate this in style:D:D

We have a wonderful means of transport (our very own tardis complete with comfy seats and a well-stocked bar:D) and can come and pick you up wherever you are.

If you'd like to join in with our lunacy tomorrow, please feel free, eveyone's welcome:D

Can I book a comfy seat by the bar please Spoony?

Good morning everyone!

I managed to put off yesterday's food shop, so I'm up to 8 NSDs - hee yaw!

Looks like I'm a little too early to check into the tardis for our trip to Newport ... or is it New York ... I much prefer Sheila Bassey to Alicia Keys anyway (check out the New York (Empire State of Mind) parody here changed to "Newport (Ymerodraeth State of Mind)" if you didn't see it before EMI got the hump!

Have a good day everyone!

JAMIEDODGER

aiming for number 4 today, still a way to go but not impossible! I am trying to spend only on certain days of the week now, so to increase the NSD's. Was going to aim for tues/weds/thurs NSD but will need to spend tomorrow after all as I need to buy something suitable for a funeral and a cub jumper as my son is going to be invested next week:)

running through a bit demented, back at work to-day, no NSD to-day as large children and waiflike girlfriend and macho boyfriend where did you get him? Does Mr Dopey know? I think we should be told!:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

ate everything down to the bottom of fridge and even made good inroads into emergency tomato pile, OMG, they must be VERY brave to infiltrate the tomato pile - I feel your pain:eek:
so had to restock.

PDD - its great to have you back!:)

jintyb

Good morning everyone
Reporting #9 for yesterday, didnt go anywhere apart from PO.
Glad you enjoyed the soup Spoon, and that the recipe was ok.
Banana loaf is also one of my faves, the recipe I have is so easy and has no fat in it although you would never guess. OH not keen on it so half is in the freezer. I'll be taking a couple of slices to work for my breakfast!

BDINI - sorry to hear your still poorly, take it easy!
3dogs - glad the van is sorted
LFV - great news re the job plus it's good the start date suits you!

Hugs to all those who need it

Off to prepare for another day in the funny farm

Have a lovely day everyone:)

NSD number 5 today thanks butdoineedit and solventsoon for your words of encouragement re the lanlord/ letting agent situation. we are now in to the second week wihout heating and the second day without hot water. I find this sort of thing so frustrating i don't take the mickey out of people so i don't expect them to do it to me i pay my rent on time and have never been late. Hopefully today might be the day something gets done.:wall::wall:. Couldn't sum it up better than the smilies.

Good morning everyone,

I don't think I'll be able to make it on the trip today... got lots of work on but I'll be there in spirit lol

I've not managed any NSD's over the weekend or yesterday, so I'm still on 6/10. Still got the rest of the month to smash that target though, so MSE head back on, and fingers crossed for today being a NSD.

Enjoy the trip to NY :P

Hope you get it sorted soon.

I've had similar problems with my letting agent, where I'd reported about 20 things that we'd found that needed doing when we moved in, and now we're moving out 6 months later, they still haven't been done! Just watch out for the explosion if they try to claim that I've been the cause of any of them and try to withhold my deposit. I think you might be able to see it from space
