    :hello:Hi katholicos and welcome back, we've missed you:(

    Grrr to interwebby problems, hope you're back up and running again now?

    Consider yourself included from now onwards, you're back in the gang again, almost as though you've never been away:D

    Will add you to the front page when I do the next update (tomorrow now), hope that's OK?

    Good luck with your usual 18, I'm sure you can beat that this month:T

    Woohoo managed to get to the end of today as a NSD so

    NSD 8


    Didn't give in to the venders when I really wanted chocolate and we went to the pub again tonight but other people bought again today so really lucky.

    At the start of this week I thought I had no chance of getting to 15, now I'm not convinced I will be a bit more hopeful of at least getting close to that - certainly helping to reduce the small random spends.

    Good morning all!

    Nice to hear from you Big MummaF, but sorry to hear about your Mammy and No2's ailments. An ulcerated cornea just sounds bloomin awful:(

    Anyhoo , just for you, edited highlights - I'm sure others will be along with their version!

    BDINI -has packed in the fags and is running about with a sledgehammer:eek: ( look out!)
    Keiss - son is injured and is fed up cos he cant play rugby. They're off to God's Country this weekend;)
    CW - is still the Queen of the Whoopsies, she's running a race on Sunday and we're all cheering her on (virtually). Also there's a little lurve interest :heart2: going on
    Spoon - has been her usual diligent self, and in addition to keeping an eye on us has completed her tax return:T
    SF - is a more than welcome "rounder upper" and is cheering us on admirably:T
    Kerri - is in the US of A, but managed to fix her leaky washing machine before she left.:)

    We have lots of wonderful NEWBIES this month, who are all doing splendidly!:T

    Also, theres a shindig on the 25th for Burns Night, but I know that men in kilts skirling about wont be of any interest to you sonce you're such a shy wee soul:rotfl::rotfl:

    Have a great day everyone!

    This is brilliant, jinty, love it:T:T:T Thanks for the mention:D

    Few more to add:

    kate - has packed in the fags as well but, as far as I know, isn't running around with a sledgehammer:D

    Nargle - has a stinking cold (keep your germs to yourself:D)

    moneypenny - has started a "give up diet coke" thread and is now quivering in the corner suffering caffeine withdrawal symptoms:)

    sf - is doing a wonderful job keeping track of all the NSDs a few times a week:T

    teenyweenyspender - is safe in Brisbane and managing to keep away from the floods, great news:j

    Lots of sales resisting and email destruction going on amongst our newbies who are all embracing the spirit of the NSD thread:T:T

    And.. loads of NSDs this month.. beanie is on her way to target no 3:j:j:j

    BMF - Hope your muvva and No2 are on the mend soon, we miss you here:( x

    I'm happy to aanounce that I've hit this months target of 14 NSDs :j:j:j:j:j:j:j:j :j Now I need to see how many more I can achieve before the end of Jan. Theres not much chance tomorrow cos I have to go and buy new specs but apart from that I'm hoping to be good.

    Have a lovely day

  • Morning all! No NSD for me yesterday, hubby and I went out for his work Christmas thing which was lovely, and whilst that was all paid for I had to pay £12 train fair to get there and I bought a cup of tea at the station on the way back :-)

    Today should be an NSD though, hopefully making 8 in total now I think...DS has a school disco tonight but I have kept the money aside from the start of the week when I was having a spend day- I think im right in thinking I can count it as an NSD?!

    Have a good day everyone!
