  • Today was not a NSD, I bought a pack of half price Christmas cards. But I'm going to justify that as okay, because it means in December 2011 I can have an extra NSD!
    Thank you competition posters!

    Has everyone else been following Igor's footsteps and mixing the drinks?

    Seems as if I'm the only one not curled up on the floor at the moment.... all the more hog roast for me :D

    But that's a 25% success rate, which isn't bad :D

  • Aww i missed the party :(
    Was bringing the leftover party platter that my dad couldn't eat too!! Oh well back to the alcoholic ginger beer & pink wine (although not in the same glass after seeing the state of Igor!!)

    Made it to 14 today & target 2 :j:j

    & to echo what's already been said huge thanks to Spoon for all her hard work on this thread & BMF for the amazing guidelines & all the reminders that we never do the F word :D

    Happy new year everyone!!

    HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE

    Any champers left, think I might have had a bit too much earlier:D. That, plus the smell of Hubert after eating the gorgonzola, was a bit much:(

    Just wanted to say thanks to you all for being such a wonderful bunch of people, the support and the fun on this challenge have kept me going through some difficult times this year, so a big THANK YOU to you all.

    Special thanks to BigMumma for her support and good humour when I first started doing this challenge in November last year. Thanks to her getting me hooked on NSDs and then taking over this thread in April, I've managed to pay off a large amount of my debts this year so I'm very grateful.

    I'll stop rambling now, going to do a quick roundup, back in a bit with some numbers:D

    HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE!!!!

    I saw in 2011 with a bottle of alcoholic ginger beer and watching Avatar - wild times here ;)

    However, a positive to staying in (apart from the fact I wanted to) was that I can round off 2010 with another NSD :j taking my Dec total to a not too shabby 14 :beer: Quite amazed as they were rather late in coming this month....

    ....now, pass us some more of that hog roast and lets throw a few shapes on the Tardis dance floor...NO HUBERT NOT YOU!!!! :rotfl::rotfl:
