I's might be here for pirate zummerset day. I's need a name.....think the boat should be called 'I's needs a man' (to throw overboard)

Oh dear, elfen, man trouble?

Will sign you up later when I do the update, in the meantime, feel free to join in with the chat and ask any questions, there's usually someone around to answer or just have a chat.

Hope your back gets better soon.
Take care

Intellectual conversations??? Sorry Spoon, I thought this was the NSD thread.....I must be in the wrong place :rotfl::rotfl:

Have you missed all the intellectual conversations we've had this month then, kerri? They must have been while you were in Japan:D:D

Hi lovely NSD gang :A
Wow.... that was a mammoth update, that will teach me to go missing on a Monday... Well done everyone, loads of NSDs over the past couple of days, 3 more targets tumbling, another newbie joining up and another returning to the fold:j

Targets met, well done:
elf06: :jwell done for no 10, target smashed now, that’s brilliant. :j The pumpkin is coming your way now, just in time for hallowe’en.
Increasing your target to 15 now, good luck with getting there, you can do it:T
hmmmm... sounds as though Pink Lady could cause some trouble on Thursday;)
katholicos: :jwell done for no 14, target smashed now, that’s brilliant. :jThe pumpkin is coming your way now, just in time for hallowe’en. Do you want to set yourself a new target now and aim for the breakdancing skeleton?:)
You’re right, everyone’s doing really well this month:T
Diana Prince: :j well done for no 5, target smashed now, that’s brilliant. :j The pumpkin is coming your way now, just in time for hallowe’en.
Increasing your target to 7 now, good luck with getting there, you can do it:T
So sorry to hear about your dad ((((hugs)))), but glad we managed to cheer you up a bit - are you joining us on Thursday? Plenty of room on the boat:)

A very warm welcome to all our newbies signing up this month, new people are always welcome to join, we’re a a very friendly, if slightly insane, bunch and a surreal sense of humour definitely helps. We are, however, very serious in our aim to cut down on our spending and are happy to give advice/tips/hints so please ask if you’re not sure about anything. Everyone seems to have more success if they post regularly on here and join in the chat - not sure why, but it seems to work, so please feel free to join in

So welcome and good luck to:
tjp70: :hello: hi and welcome, of course you can join in, never too late here. It’s good to have you on board and much more fun having someone to celebrate your NSDs with. Signing you up for 6 now, good luck. Keep posting, we’ll give you loads of encouragement and feel free to join in with the chat and general lunacy.

Welcome back to all the regulars and those returning to the NSD fold, good luck for this month:
Natty68: :hello: hi and welcome back, never to late to join us, good to have you back again. Signing you up for 18 now, good luck. Keep posting, we’ll keep you on track:)

Update on NSDs to follow....

Another NSD for me yesterday, up to no 15:j, and very happy with my progress, but I had to buy some loo rolls today, down to my last one and you’ve all made me paranoid about running out;)...

Will update the front page tomorrow now, I think, got another long day ahead tomorrow so best take to my bed now.

Good morning all!
Reporting #15 for yesterday please!

Spoon - I'm only Mac the Red when in pirate guise, will spend today brushing my sporran and polishing my skull and crossbones in preparation!
My suggestion for the name of the ship -

The ENNESSDEE - geddit?:o

Off to chuck myself in the shower - will be back later

Have a lovely day everyone:)

You're going great guns again Spoon :T

but I had to buy some loo rolls today, down to my last one and you’ve all made me paranoid about running out;)...

I've not made a start on my new ones yet - nor have I had to have another 'rejig' of the in use ones to get what I have/had where they're most needed. I'm actually going to be interested to see when I finally have to start using a new one

Hi Spoon, reporting NSD number 5 for yesterday. Might even get one today as have no intention of leaving the house as have got a headache from hell

Cheers, Jedi xx

Surfbabe

Another NSD yesterday

PerfectPeaches

Morning all

Should be another NSD for me today as the OH has given me a lot of admin work to get through and I don't actually need anything!!

Won't be a NSD tomorrow though as I am at the hospital pretty much all day but will try and take snacks from home!

Hope everyone has a good day!

Morning all, today will be a spend day as we are down to our last bits in the cupboards and unless we want to be living on tuna, tomatoes and dried rice for the next week unfortunately it is needed (although could probably make a nice risotto thing with those )

Might have to pop into Boots as well and start my chrimbo shopping early as I am spending anyway
