I can go and stock up on loo rolls :j:j:j
Only problem is that the offer I wanted to use (marked up last week as running until 24th) appears to have finished early :mad:

Cheryl have you tried c0-0p? They have 18 rolls of triple velvet for a fiver & i have to admit (after much using of loo roll these last couple of weeks :eek:) it does feel very luxurious!!

Poor you BDINI - hope you enjoy the library - I love mine, like you I dont know why I left it so long to rejoin! I feel I'm getting at least something for my council tax:rotfl:Mind you, in this climate of cuts, I'm enjoying it while it lasts;)

Thanks Jinty, think i'm going to love it, but i must be getting old because i was amazed by all the computerization, these days i have to check out my own books & don't get a little date stamp anymore, so must be on the ball & remember when to take them back!!!!

((((((big hugs)))))) Keiss, hope you are on the mend soon

Well i had a spend today, thought i really should have a little try at getting out the house seeing as i'm supposed to be getting the coach home tomorrow for my dad's birthday, so i popped to get his present & made it back without any embarrassing accidents :j
Treated myself to a really snuggly dressing gown too which was a bit naughty but mine is ancient & threadbare & also in desperate need of a wash seeing as i can't quite remember the last time i got dressed!!!!
:mad: to the fact i was so worried about not staying out too long that i forgot a card so will have to pick that up tomorrow on my way to the coach station, oh well i only have one dad & he's been an absolute star with all the DIY :A at least i'm not buying tat!!!

Declaring NSD #9 :T

and also declaring a state of emergency - I had to put the very last loo roll into use this morning :eek:

The D/Debit I'm expecting to go out tomorrow had better go out now - I so neeeeeed to go and get loo rolls to stop my palpitations, but I really don't want to lose an NSD just for those....... and I'm not convinced I can hold off getting any until Monday (if the D/Debit goes out late) without having panic attacks :rotfl: Looks like the offer at work on the Mr M own brand one is currently the best (even before staff discount comes into play), but not decided whether to stock up for next year now (before the vat rise), or just get enough for the rest of the year (one lot of the offer is actually likely to take me to Feb/March) and hope the Cush3lle come back on a good offer before year end

Next D/Debit after that isn't until 26th - so I need to have a really good check of what else I'll definitely need before then. But for fresh stuff I won't need for at least a few days I'm going to work out the cost and put the money to one side - probably won't need milk until Tuesday, so tomorrow is much too early to buy it given how long it'll then last me (and the bbe dates on any I get tomorrow).

Also putting aside the cost of the dogs jabs - he's booked in for annual booster and kennel cough vaccine next Wed morning. He's never had the latter before as I've never had him in kennels, but I've decided it's worth getting it done in case I fancy/can afford a night/few days away in the next 12 months.

That one's on offer at work too (which means staff discount), but I didn't check the price out as my home plumbing "doesn't get along with it". Only bought it once, but ended up having to plunge all 3 toilets while we had it - too much of a co-incidence for it not to be the loo roll that caused the problems

Cheryl, you are giving me panic attacks, one loo roll WILL NOT LAST UNTIL MONDAY!!!!!

please buy some tomorrow, I won't be able to sleep, there are too many what ifs, what if you drop it down the loo tonight in the dark?
what if you get an upset tummy in the dead of night? what if it unravels itself and falls all over the loo floor?

please go buy some, I need my sleep, really!!!

:rotfl: I have more than one in the house, 'cos I have 3 loos - all to myself as well..... how indulgent is that

The cloakroom gained the last one this morning, but I have about half a roll in the en-suite and a quarter roll in the family bathroom as well


And I actually reckon a roll lasts me a week just fine - been 'monitoring' the situation over the last 12 months or so, and I used to start 2 every 8 or 9 days where there were two of us here, and about 1 in the same time frame since DS moved out

System

I'm still on 2 NSDs this week so far (mon and tue). Yesterday was a spendy day because my car insurance DD went out and today was a spendy day because I had to pay my cleaner, my subs for band and my grocery shopping. I'm doing well though for me because I normally nip to the supermarket several times in the week but I've been tonight and that's it. :money:

Tixy

Another one for me please today. So number 8 I think.

:hello:

:eek: to loo rolls! I had to go shopping today as I only had two left........and with only one toilet and five of us in the house I couldn't hold on for another day! (Pun intended ) Ran out of packed lunch supplies this morning as well so a shop tonight was essential.

Sorry, I haven't read the last two days posts. Will catch up later. Yesterday was an NSD, today wasn't (groceries). Don't know about tomorrow yet. Have forgotten Neice's b'day :eek: so need to get a card, or I might get DH to get it to save my NSD .

Therefore claiming NSD 6 now. If I want to get my target I'll now have to have 12 NSDs out of the last 17 days of the month :eek:.
