    I've hit half way &--strangely--it appears to be half way thru the month too! Don't ask me why it's made me come over all X Fil€s, but it has....*do-du-doo-doooo star-wars-smiley-005.gif....oooooohhhhhhhooo..David Duchovny :drool:..love-smiley-052.gif...*

    After the very thinly veiled sarcasm & total character assassination by some members of this thread, I have decided that it is evidently not the majority opinion & will continue to post, so there angry-smiley-019.gif *runs for cover to avoid empty sticky tape roll heading in my direction!curtain.gif* laughing-smiley-017.gif

  • Good morning everyone!

    It has been a hectic few days for me, so haven't posted in a while, but to update my score, Saturday was a NSD meaning I had a massive run of 11 NSDs in a row! :j

    However, Sunday and Monday were HUGE spend days with:
    - a well over due food shop,
    - b'day pressies and
    - annual memberships paid out.
    I clocked up one more NSD on Tuesday but yesterday had a lil' spend, and we'll see if I can resist the lure of the t'internet for the rest of today - anyway, so that brings my running total up to 12 NSDs! :j

    Off to try and catch up with the 8 pages of posts that I'm now behind on!

    Have a good rest of the day everyone and good luck collecting NSDs!

    Had a bit of a spend - bought a couple of cakes from Gr€ggs, a newsaper for OH and paracetemol for the store cupboard.
    Also had my visit to the chiropodist so I'm walking on air!:) Dropped my books back at the library and uplifted my new ones!

    Having a very easy afternoon, its a bit cold here, so I'm going to settle down with my book and my cream doughnut, mmmmm!


    you will always be rich enough to be generous.

    NSD #3 for me.

    I did need to get a loaf, but in the true spirit of MSE made some homemade bread instead, which is much nicer anyway:)

    Planning on getting last of food shopping etc in next couple of days, but amount of snow we're getting at moment, not looking too promising!

    Now up to #8 Only place I'v been today is the post box to get the last of the card's off and the chemist's to pick up OH's script. It's snowing like mad here and settling to boot,so I'm glad I did the last of the shopping yesterday.
