Combat the Christmas Crush with the NSD challenge

Happy New Year all

I saw in the New Year being deafened by a dog !! Seems a lot of folks around me have clocks/watches that are running fast, as the fireworks started at 11:55pm :mad: They quietened down enough by 00:15am for me to go to bed, but I still had to put up with a couple more barking sessions in the 10 mins or so after that

Personally I was more worried by the number of chinese lantern things that were being set off. Looked like someone had got a job lot, and by the time they came directly over my house a number of them were starting to lose height And an 'almost' neighbour was setting some off from their back garden which barely made it over the house next door to them before being collected by an up-draught..... I was rather worried one of those was going to catch on gutters/tiles and start a fire :eek:

Hopefully I'll be back tomorrow with another roundup, but no guarantees as we're out tomorrow and I may be incapable of counting by the time I get back

:beer: Have a good time Spoon :beer:

Personally I think you should take the day off from trying to organise us (even my workplace is closed today )

:A:A Happy New Year all you lovely NSD gang :A:A

I've been doing this challenge for a whole year now, and it has totally changed the way I think about money. Big thanks to all of you, especially Spoon and BigMummaF, for your constant support, encouragement and laughs. It makes saving money so much fun!

Right, speech over. I dont know if any of you will recall that I posted a few days ago that I'd got no chance of meeting my target unless I got struck down with flu - well, that was a silly thing to say!! Been poorly sick since Thursday, which meant I had 3 NSD's in a row at the end of the month to meet my target of 16!!! :) Not the best way to get a NSD but never mind. Also had the soberest New Years Eve since I was 16 - popped out to the local (after filling myself full of lemsip and painkillers) at 11pm to see in the new year with DH and my friends, only had 2 drinks and in bed at a sensible time!

See you all on the January thread xx

*a dark shadowy figure enters stage right, fedora pulled down low & cape held high over face, Zorro stylee* Woooo-hoooo-hooo-wwaaaaaaaaaaa *twiddles non-existent moustache* My devilish plan to hide those dahhlink weeedull pwiggits worked! Just where do they think I've been these past two days!*swish-swish across centre stage* Little do they know that was no HOG roast mwah-mwah-waa-waaaaaaa *exit stage left to booos & sssssssssssizzzzzzzzzz from the auditorium of the Tardis*

In truth, Mum's been a bit under the weather again so I've been staying with her but it has meant I managed another 2 nsds so busted my third target too with a final total of 20 for December. I'm not saying she's telling porkies (hence my hiding the hog roast :rotfl:) but I've a sneaking suspicion it's the desire for company rather than an ailment that brings the Royal Summons to the Palace of Parenthood
Either way, I'm only home now to grab a change of clothes & cuddle the pets--The Offspring are big enough & ugly enough to look out for themselves:p--so I'll nip over to the Jan thread while I can

Have I missed the link for the January thread?

And it's out with the old, in with the new.....last one on the January thread's a wet nelly......

got-it-spend-it

Am I too late to declare for December? I managed 8 against a target of 10, so must try harder!
