    Hi lovely NSD gang:A:A

    Firstly, hugs to moneypenny and DD, bad time for both of you. Hope DD sees sense mp but if she doesn't all you can do is support her through the bad times, thinking of you both ((((hugs))))
    Cheryl and jinty, thanks for sharing your experiences, we never really know what someone else has been through:A:A

    Front page updated now with all the totals, well done to beanie and chris for a phenomenal 10 in a row for both of you, I will find you both a suitable prize when your run finishes, in the meantime have a :j.

    beanie, hope you're OK after your fall ((((hugs))))

    kerri, don't be too hard on yourself re NSDs, you've had a brilliant few months and you certainly haven't fallen off the wagon, you're here every day :D

    if..., thanks for all the cartoons, love today's one:D

    Hope everyone else is well and managing to cope with the extra stresses at this time of year.

    ((((hugs)))) to anyone needing one.

    Take care

    Good morning all!

    Beanie - sorry to hear about your falls. I guess your pavements are like ours - covered in hard packed snow which has turned icy. Very dangerous!:mad: Hope you're ok.

    Kerri - the face stuffing was worth every calorie! Dont feel down about your NSD's your doing fine, there's still plenty of month left!
    Cheryl, we have a garden centre near us which has a "speciality" food hall. I got the scones from there, they're made on the premises. I never buy anything from there at full price as it's so expensive, but yesterday they had loads reduced so I felt justified! That said, I also bought some mince pies and if I'd paid full price for them I would have been well peed off.
    Nicca - the pic of the Santa toilet seat made me a chuckle:rotfl: and:eek: at the same time !



    Well, yesterday was very lazy - after we came back from doglet hairdo, we just chilled out. Had a takeaway and watched telly - lovely.
    Today, I am just going to potter - no plans to do much, so hoping for a NSD today. I might put my decs up if I'm in the mood. :xmastree:
    Have a lovely day everyone:)


    you will always be rich enough to be generous.

    Well yesterday wasnt the NDS I had hoped for. I went with Dad to get some booze in for Christmas and while we were there (I dont drink a lot so the drink aisle is not somewhere I often look) I spotted a bottle of pink champagne at half price down to £13.99. I got it as a birthday pressie for my friend who turns 30 on Dec 23rd. We dont normally do pressies for each other but a few years ago her hubby had a party and I bought for his 30th so I feel I should now buy for her. Anyway while I was there I got the couple of bits that I needed for my dinners next week so with a bit of luck I should only need to get cheese (which I would have got but forgot about :( ) and the rest of the week should be NSD's - famous last words :rotfl:

    NSD - target 18 days, so far 5!!
  • Afternoon all,

    Havent checked in for a while, past few days have been a little hectic!

    Well Friday was a NSD for me as I didn't leave the house all day until the evening where I went to my OH's work do which was already paid for. Saturday was a spend day as I needed fuel and to get the money out for my friend/ hairdresser as she is doing my hair today. And as for Sunday I won't be going out anywhere as I am having my hair done and having family over (I am back in Warwickshire where I orginate!) so another NSD totalling up to number 10!

    Hope everyone is having a good weekend.

    Peaches :)
