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

niccatw

BDINI - :rotfl: :rotfl: You made me laugh - I completely understand the feeling of being summoned to be worked to death . I've learned over the years to do it with good grace and not fight it. Sometimes that works, sometimes not, mostly depending on my level of grumpyness .

And 8 is great for November! Remember the power of positive thinking . You too Karma. And every-one else who is struggling to fit in NSDs at this time of year! Big Mumma will be along to waggle a finger at you for not relishing the NSDs you have made.

Which reminds me; did we arrange a night out this month? St Andrew's day?



Ewan would like to cheer us all up .

Yes, we did, nicca, a ceilidh in bonnie Scotland - I'm bringing David Tennant along - jinty's already "bagged" (if you'll excuse the expression) Ewan, so you'll have to find someone else:D

I totally agree with what everyone else says, this thread is a huge amount of work for you & you must take care of yourself. if there is anything i can do to help please just say!

Thanks BDINI, really appreciate that. Feeling much brighter today, nearly back to my normal self again, thank goodness...

Well a prolonged absence due to laptop problems, but all sorted now, just in time for me not to be able to get on here as i have been summoned to my mothers for a long weekend to be worked to death :eek:

I can only report 2 more NSD's since i was last on here, it's so scary how i lose focus without all the support on here. Think i may struggle to hit my target this month, but i need to try & catch up & spend less before the end of the month, now i have reduced my debt it's no excuse to spend on silly things!!

So a dismal total of 8 for this month so far, must try harder

Oh dear, sounds as though you have a fun weekend ahead.... but, as nicca says, nowt wrong with 8 NSDs - I'd remove the "dismal" or BigMumma may well be along to tell you off most severely:D

Hello lovely NSD gang:A

Thank you all for your offers of help, good wishes, support, hugs and everything else over the past few days, I really do appreciate it and it's made me realise more than ever what a lovely place this challenge is.

I've been thinking about what to do from now on as I really can't keep doing a daily update at the moment so I think I'll probably do the following:

Two catchups/roundups per week on Friday or Saturday and Monday or Tuesday, that should catch everything and make sure all the NSDs are celebrated:D but I'll be here most days to catch up with you all and maybe have time to have a bit of a chat. I'm going to update the front page every day because that doesn't take very long at all, it's all the chatting that takes the time, unfortunately:(

One thing I would ask, though, is could you all please post the number of NSDs you have got on your posts things like "one more for me, please" mean I have to go backwards and forwards to work out the totals - hope that's OK with everyone:A

Thanks again for all your support, you're all lovely

IF

Spoony that sounds like a good idea and we will all keep tally of our own NSD's. Good to have you back too :A

Nicca - I'm warning you - get yer mitts aff Ewan - he's mine!!:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl: ( I wish.........)


Spoon - your proposals re catch up/ round up sound good to me. Whatever works for you my dear, and you feel comfortable with it.


As you can tell, Im up at an ungodly hour. Couldnt sleep, whch is very annoying! I'm going to walk the doglet ( if I can wake him) .
Later Im off to Mr A for the weekly shop, which will be much reduced since OH is away all next week.
Will pop back later to catch up with you all.

Have a lovely day everyone!:)
