    Keiss - you're house soulds hilarious this evening - and you've prob just tipped Catslovelycats over the edge at the thought of the mouse in Doritos :rotfl:
    We gave up on the Doritos,though DS2 was keen to use the top half!! I did point out that the rodent had been nesting in the bag, not just nibling at the corner! :rotfl:

    We found some tortillas (AF foods) and had them rolled up with the spicy tomato sauce and some cheese melted on top. Then we had bread & butter pudding with croissants (o-o-d) and not butter...it was scrumptious!!! It's amazing what you end up with when you try using what's lying about the house!! :D
    Aren't you slightly cheating by using the local wildlife to help you eat your over stocked food???? :T:cool: I suppose I should thank the mouse then! :rotfl:
    (Hope the nachos were nice!)

    PS: my doritos never last long enough in a cupboard for a mouse to even smell them out, yet alone make a nest in them!
    I got three packs on offer before Xmas, and we had two on DS1's 21st as nachos. The other pack was to be eaten on NYE, but we didn't. So really, I sort of forgot about it! These are the first crisps we have had in the house for months...a big difference from years back when we always had a couple of 6-packs lying about!

    Declaring today as NSD no 10 :j:j double figures at last!! So 7 days to find in the next 15 days...looks like I might be re-setting my target! Best not tempt fate though...lets see how the next week goes?

    Have a good Sunday everyone!

    Darn - I've been rumbled! ;)



    Glad you got out Beanie - coffee and cake - my favourite treat too!



    I got them done at a stand in Debenhams called Allure. Judging by what you and Moneypenny pay, I think I've paid over the odds at £14. However, it was a real impulse thing and I'm really pleased with the results. I'm sure there are a good few places in Edinburgh that do it ( probably cheaper) but yesterday it was a case of " I want them done and NOW!:o


    P.S. Just realised that this is my 1000th post!

    Well done on the 1000th post, a real milestone. The main thing is that you enjoyed the experience and you're happy with the result. A little pampering does a soul good if you ask me.

    I'm declaring today 10/10 target met, I won't be going out again today. Could you up my target to 15 please Mistresses Spoony & Slowly I'm going to go for it big time.

    I'm off to cook dinner for my son and daughter and grandkids as it's my son's 32nd birthday today. Have a good one all and remember, If you can't be good, enjoy it. :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    Afternoon all - still not declaring a NSD for yesterday yet - need to check the change pot to see if there is enough to cover the 98p kitchen roll I purchased.

    Jinty - I think that a £14 'splurge' on the brows is allowed once in a while, I'm pleased you're happy with them, i've found threading makes a huge difference and deff wouldn't go back to plucking now.
    If you don't mind me asking, what moistureiser did you get? I'm always on the look out for a good one as I have quite dry skin.

    Not planning on any spends today - am wanting to get some photos printed online to fill several empty frames we have, but I'm waiting for a spend day for that....

    JAN NSD 11/16


  • Well I've decided it's def tooooooo long since I've had any sort of beauty treatment done - I had to google eyebrow threading :o in case I'd been missing out on an essential! Has got me thinking and have been hunting in the bathroom cupboards for the eyebrow dye (mine are so fair they're practically invisible)......

    Shopping at Asda yesterday so def not a NSD.

    As for today, had to get another NOTW to get the other voucher for the beauty kit so £1 spent.

    (Looks an OK kit if anyone's not got the vouchers yet - 1 last week, 1 this and 1 next - you only need 2 out of the 3 - redeemable at Tesco). What's the betting the Tesco near me doesn't have them!

    Finally managed a NSD at last after trying last week with uni getting in the way and bit of shopping. Got one on Friday and another one today making it 7 at long last

    NSD 7 - 8 left now for the rest of the month

    Need some milk tomorrow but will aim for Tues/Wed/Fri/Sun next week as on Thurs have an exam and will need a coffee after that and some lunch!

    Going to be tight to make the target but I might just get there!
