    Good morning all

    Well, we had a rude awakening here in Edinburgh this morning - horizontal SLEET, then torrential rain plus a gale force wind. NOT NICE!!

    Managed #1 yesterday, so I'm off and running. Spoon, I'll do you a Christmas cake anytime! It's the prep that take the time for the cake, the actual mixing together doesnt take long in comparison! Anyway, its all wrapped up to "mature" till nearer the day when it'll get iced.
    Today should be another as I'm at work but............. tonight...........drumroll......I am off to see John Barrowman in concert. I am going with my Mum and we are both really looking forward to it! I think he'll be great!:j:j I may point out that he is not my usual taste in music, I'm more rock, but I cant resist a bit of cheese!:rotfl:

    No plans to spend anything as OH will take us and pick us up after:D

    Have a lovely day everyone:)


    you will always be rich enough to be generous.

    Hi Spoon hon, bit late signing up I'm afraid but here now..lol

    Can you put me down for 20 NSD's this month please, I really have to be extra vigilant and not spend as much. It still allows me 10 days of spending if necessary :)

    Hugs to everyone, hope you are all doing okay :)

  • Yesterday was 1st NSD of the month. Had quite a good day back at work after a weeks holiday and my boss was not there so there was plenty to do which took my mind off the first day back blues.

I'm really close to getting my new cooker; part of me can't wait to get back to baking but the bigger part is more than a bit action-smiley-053.gif of having to learn how to cook all over again. With ny present oven, everything goes in on no6 & stays till it's done :p
    ....off to see John Barrowman in concert....I may point out that he is not my usual taste in music, I'm more rock, but I cant resist a bit of cheese!:rotfl:....
    He has the most gorgeous eyes though--it's always eyes for me. Paul Newman, Steve McQueen, Freddie Mercury, Robbie, ELVIS :drool:...& that lovely soft bluey-grey is a bonus (sssiiiggghhhhhhh) *daydreams of own private harem*

    Would you adam-&-eve it :wall: The October thread came up in my reminder but not this one :angry: Can't fathom what's happening but I'll unsub & resub again to see if it makes any difference. If I go AWOL, wudja come find me pweeze :o coz oi gits stared om my own action-smiley-001.gif

    Reporting No 1 for yesterday please.

  • Good morning everyone!

    Yesterday was NSD number 1 for me! Starting as I mean to go on - on that note Spoon please can you put me down for 6 NSDs in row - busting past the 6th NSD will be the difficult part for me as I can normally resist all temptations, but the weekly food shop is where I fall down!

    Good luck collecting more NSDs everyone!
