The octosyllabic October NSD challenge

niccatw

Hope it gets better for you slowlyfading. Big hugs xxx

No NSD for me as my ebay sale was too heavy to be sent second class recorded (I didn't even know there was such a restriction!) so my postage was miles out, gaining me a .88p sale all in all. :cool: And that's without allocating time, packaging, electrcity... hmmmmm, hardly seems worth it!

ANyway, will proabably jump into the supermarket after body balance and pick up spme fresh veg for soup since I'm no longer chasing my NSD.

I'm thinking tomorrow's postage is going to be out too (they didn't clear payment in time or I'd have sent it today as well) so it's not looking hopeful for tomorrow either.

Going to declare today as NSD #12 - though I think I may be stretching even my rules a little

I put money to one side on Friday (my last spend day) for certain items I knew I'd need before my next D/Debit day - which included £24 for 6x12 roll packs of Cush3lle from Nett0 today, when the offer of £4/pack started. Called in this afternoon (decided to go to the gym for a yoga class, and as there's a store on the way there it saved a special trip to a different branch this morning - so saved on time and petrol) to discover not only do they have the 12 roll pack for £4, but they also have the 24 roll pack for £7.49 - so I picked up 3 of them and saved myself £1.53 of the 'tucked away' money :T

(And I should now have enough loo roll to see me right until Jan 2012 )

Also needed bananas today - another item I'd put money away for. So I trotted down to work for those - same price as Mr T (on gym complex) and A!di, so I may as well have my 10% staff discount off them Couldn't resist checking the Whoopsies sections, but nothing in chilled, meat or fish to even tempt me off my "only if you'll use it now" wagon. A few bits on the bakery, but reminded myself of my rules and didn't pick anything up. However the general groceries was a different kettle of fish.......

I'd put money away for marmalade, and they had one of my favourites (R0ses's Grapefruit) marked down to 49p instead of £1.39 - and with a bbe of April 2012. So I picked up 2 of those instead of 2 'cheap' jars of orange marmalade (54p each) later in the week....... so that purchase also safely covered, and with another 10p saving on what I'd budgetted for

Then comes the tricky bit......

They also had some Organic Raspberry Preserve (I've had it before, and it's wonderful) reduced to 49p, and some Organic smooth Peanut Butter also down to 45p. Now I never liked PB as a child/teen (when we always had the cheapest versions going), but it's something that keeps being suggested to me as a way of increasing my fat intake (something I struggle to get to a healthy level) while doing it with 'good' fats - so I figured it was worth trying (and might work in Twinks for a different version too). So 2 jars of jam and 1 of PB came to £1.43 that I hadn't officially allowed for - but it's less than I saved on the loo rolls (and marmalade), so has come out of that section of my purse without meaning I won't be able to afford something I put money in there for

No, No, No. I cannot possibly read all of this in one breath.

Please can you use some punctuation :rotfl:;)?

Was a bit concerned that you had 11 migraines on Sunday ??!!:eek::rotfl:Seriously though, hope you feel better soon.

NSD 10 today thanks Spoon.

Back again to report today as number 7!! Really, really rubbish day but at least I've a NSD out of it.

Haven't had chance to catch up with the posts but I hope you're all well and the NSDs are building up nicely

Off for a well deserved glass of wine.

Evening all! Get well hugs to all those who need them - seems there's a lot of us with the snuffles atm. Thankfully my snotty cold seems to be on the way out (despite me talking to my mum last night and her comment being 'oh you do sown awfully snotty and bunged up' ....yes thanks mum, your bedside manner never fails to astound me :rotfl:)

I can report that yesterday (after much mulling over the Banksy canvas) was a NSD. I didn't buy one, partly cos I thought that if I was sure, I wouldn't be in such a larther about it, and secondly because I didn't want to spoil a NSD at the 11th hour (literally!) though on the way to bed I did think one of them would have looked fab in our bedroom but really didn't have the will (or the £30) to fire up the laptop again. So Spoony - NSD #13 sucessfully navigated :j

No NSD today, found a Mr S recipie under the feed your family for a fiver for sasuage and veg hot pot (well more sasuage, pearly barlely and carrot hot pot, but I've added some butter beans and baked beans too to bulk it out and add a bit more) so popped to Mr T at lunchtime to get the ingredients. Picked up a few other bits that I needed too like fruit and honey/lemon as I finished all honey when I was snuffly and OH likes it on toast. Spent just under £17 in total, which wasn't bad (though they have overcharged me on the carrots so I have to go and get my 50p :mad:) Anyway, my magic porrige pot has done me proud and I have plenty for a meal tomorrow each and a couple more portions for the fridge/freezer.

I must admit that I did buy some ready made mash, and bubble and squeak from the chiller aisle though - is that really naughty of me? I know I can make both but its so much easier to have someone else do all the peeling and mashing for you...and I have been ill....am I forgiven?

Hoping for a NSD tomorrow as out with work for lunch - goodness, it must sound as if I'm constantly being wined and dined by my company...it's not usually the case, honest!!!!

Another NSD for me please, which makes 1 more than yesterday. It might be 10??

Thanks Spoon

Evening all

Blubber wins, my super skinny locked inside person loses again. Mmmm chocolate. But poo to this cold, a red nose, cracked sore lips, this is not attractive atall. I am getting rather bored with having to reach for tissues now. Can't someone invent some kind of cold device, like a nasal tampon, or tena nostril? How boring. Anyway enough of my moaning, anyone would think I had man flu. Stiff upper lip and all that.
