    Phone them to see if they have any in before taking the walk.
    If they don't, then there's no 'alternative' temptation.
    If they do, then it won't be a wasted walk - so still no need to cave to the alternative temptation ;)

    Why did you have to be so wise .....!?
    Much as you're taking away my excuse for buying doritos, I shall exactly what you suggest right now ...
  • Thanks Cheryl for helping me avoid temptation. They have none in stock!

    Can I hold out against doritos until midnight (when they shut) . . .?

    So annoyed about the card. Think I'll email them and tell them to put it on website. At the mo the item links to a normal SD card which is no good!

  • Resistance is futile, posted a NSD on Thursday, but did not get home from work until 9.30pm so stopped on way home and bought chips, £1.10. They were delicious and i enjoyed them but miffed at spoiling NSD 6. So back to 5/10 but yesterday NSD back up to 6 (grocery shop and petrol but I use my NSD for incidentals) and today NSD so far, so hoping it will now be up to 7/10, yowser:j

    Has also dawned on my that, having lots of NSDs is good, but limits the amount of change to put in Sealed Pot so not doing so well on that one. But I guess better to be no spending in the long run???????????

    1. I can't take pics for things to sell on eBay until I get a micro card.

    Double check, sometimes cameras come with basic memory so they can take 1-6 pics without the need of a card. It means you would have to delete every now and then to take more, but you could do for a bit without the card.

    Also, if the site said SD card... can't they send you a miniSD because it was not advertised correctly?

  • I didn't manage a NSD on Friday but I have done today, so that brings me to 7 :j

    Very amazed at myself I must say. Spendy day tomorrow as I'll be getting food for the week, and meeting friends for a drink. However, I've found all the meat on offer already so it'll only be veggies and bread, so cheapness! And Spoons are doing one of the ales I drink for £1.50 - so at least I can spend tomorrow on a shoestring and feel far more thrifty than I normally would!

    Thanks.
    No it needs a micro card. When you turn it on it says 'no card' and won't do anything.
    my sd card is too big for the slot.
    I can try but I've opened the SD card pack so doubt they'll refund me.
    TBH it's not too much of a bother as I can use it elsewhere.
    I'm just frustrated that I didn't know until I opened the page with instructions where it says at the bottom needs AAA batteries (says on packet) and micro sd card (not on packet).

    I'm still thinking of doritos. But it's dark now so I can't walk the short cut and not sure I want to walk the long route. I'd need to take the car. Hope I can resist. I can't stop thinking about them..:rotfl:

    Why did i think it was a good idea just to have a quick look to see if the forum was up and running?! I've been so good all day, done all my housework jobs and was getting stuck into my assignment but now i have a distraction.......
    If my green light isn't out in ten minutes someone please give me a kick up the backside!!

    Welllll..... considering it's now three hours later, kate, and I can see a green light shining... maybe a kick up the bum is needed? (except I can't find my "kick up the bum" smiley so you'll have to have a virtual one instead:D) x
    :) The time you enjoy wasting is not wasted time :)
