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.

How about you?? Could make you a fortune I'd consider buying it (though not if it had a white cotton hanging down my face I suppose:eek::D)

2 more NSDs (yesterday and today) bringing my total to 6 so far.

Will aim for Weds as one as well as really need to get a move on to meet my target.

Oh you have my sympathy - I was just sitting wondering where my lip balm is and wincing in pain as I eat some salt n vinegar crisps. As for the end of my wee nozzle, it seems to have been replaced with flaky pastry atm .... pass the chocolate :rotfl:

NSd yesterday - 10 more days to go eeek!

Good evening all, am now on 6 super NSDs!

Only 3 days to go till the 21st, when the NSD gang join the Pirates of Zummerzet at their convention, celebrating that most glorious fruit, the apple!
Have just got wind of some of the crew who will be joining the voyage, sounds like it's going to be a good 'un.....

Captain Scrumpy Jack, the scourge of the cider presses, with his wooden leg covered by multicoloured stripey socks and his chicken perched on his shoulder (too short notice to find a parrot so grabbed a chicken from the garden)

Rosie Cox and Goldie Delicious - two scrumptious pirate wenches.

Maggotty Meg and Putrid Lil - two pirate wenches of more mature years.

And introducing, as ship's cook - our one and only Igor!!!! (Cue sounds of pans crashing in the galley and mutterings of "the master isn't going to like this...")

Not forgetting Hubert, the ship's donkey, and various assorted extra-terrestrials.....

So it will be with a yo ho ho and a ho heave ho as the Pirates of Zummerzet join forces with Mr Connors and his Carrot Crunchers as they fight to defend the glorious Apple from being hijacked by international apple thieves......

If any of you get wind of who else is turning up feel free to add them to the list, the more the merrier!

Oh dear, (((hugs))) thrifty fifty, you're entitled to a moan when you're feeling like that, and definitely to some chocolate:)

Me too, Tixy, though I'm not keen on the white cotton tag either:D

I knew exactly what you meant, muffin man, spent too long deciphering long rambling texts and translating them into English, your posts are straightforward compared to them.:D

Glad you're feeling a bit better today

Take care x

Morning campers, I know I'm a bit late this month but can I please jump in I have been keeping tally in my "budget book", must remember to order another one for next year as this one has been invaluable. I'm actually thinking of adding up how much I have spent over the whole year on Dec 31 - now that could be scary..lol Although anything is better after last months disaster - I was too ashamed to even declare it..lol

Spoon can you put me down for 18 this month, if it isn't too late. Thanks honey xx

So far I am up to 10 NSD's, and because I basically have no money until the weekend - apart from what is in my purse and £9.00 that I can't withdraw from the bank I am on an enforced no spend.

Hope everyone is doing well..hugs and love xx

Hi Natty and welcome back, never too late to join up, you know that:D.

Will add you tomorrow when I do the update, in the meantime, feel free to join in with the general lunacy and mayhem:D
