The “arrgggh it’s nearly Xmas” November NSD challenge

chris81418

Good morning everyone!

Woohoo!! I put off yesterday's grocery shop, so I've met my revised target of 25 NSDs for this month!! I'm going to declare there, as today I really need to do a grocery shop and tomorrow is a planned spend day too.

...So much for our lovely council being "well prepared for the snow"....

I'm trying to work out how councils are going to afford all this extra grit & man-power, particularly if the forecasters have got it right for a change & it's going to be a l-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-n-g winter. Down this end of the country, they're talking of cutting services like day centres for the elderly/ disabled & stopping bus passes for the OAPs so what on earth will have to go if their budgets are swallowed up in winter costs
There's a right old rumpus over on the 'What constitutes Child Poverty' thread now, with one side saying kids can use public libraries to access the net for their homework & the other saying it's not safe to let your children go out after school! This country is in a right old mess & I just wish I had the spherical objects to get up a gathering & start a people's revolution before the real extremists take it on & give us peasants a bad name While I sympathise with the students, there are more pressing matters that could & should be taking up their protest genes; perhaps I need to go look in the shed for me pitchfork & lighted torch after all :rotfl:

Blimey! Sozz Folks..so much is happening that my political critique has been re-awakened with a vengeance! I'll try to be reserved from now on..but getting so gets your blood pumping & dunnarf warm you up

No 20 for yesterday please. We were thinking of going to the butchers on the market but it was too flippin' cold so hopefully we'll go to a shop tomorrow to see what meat is there for crimbo, providing the snow forecast for this week stays away. This particular shop is a thirty minute drive away so keep your fingers X please or it may be beans on toast come Dec 25th...

Jinty~Not sure if your OH got away or not.
Glad you are now safe & warm.
Schools closed here & no papers.
More snow overnight.
Day 4 in the house so another NSD.
So no 13 today.
Only going to meet this months target because of snow but so so wish it would go away.
I feel like a prisioner because I cant walk in the snow.

No NSD for me today - been out for some food as our fridge was empty!

Tixy

Wednesday and Friday were ticks for me, Thursday I had new tyres on the car and a prescription, Saturday I went shopping and Sunday I had to nip out for de-icer and a new ice scraper. Today I have been to the supermarket to stock up on warm filling foods in case the weather gets worse, plus got a couple of small xmas presents whilst there.

So 2 more in total for me taking me to 14 please Spoon.

Sorry you are stuck indoors beanie, hope you have everything you need?

Thanks Tixy for asking.
Run out of bread today but can manage otherwise at the mo.

Spend day for me, got to have me hot chocolate this weather, keep warm everyone.

I had to cave in a get deisel today. Less than 5 miles to go before being stranded in weather like this is a bit of a daft risk to take for the sake of an NSD (sometimes I think it's a really bad thing to have a mileage count down until the deisel runs out! The light goes on a 50 miles, and if I didn't know; I'd go and top up. Instead I play some bizarre game, where, if I get it wrong, I'll be the one looking like a muppet! :D).

And there's still tomorrow to get my last one it... I can do this, I can, I can!

Good afternoon all and hope your all keeping warm x
