    Good luck with your diet though!
    Thanks! It really hasn't gone well today... :o

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

    No I'm not, I've been drinking caffeine free diet coke for ages. Have only drunk just over 2l this week. Half of what I intended to... :D

    Not a nsd for me, absolutely shattered after 2 nights out and a parent's evening. So sausage in batter and chips for tea followed by a cheesecake (the type with coconut on top)

    Going to sit in the jacuzzi with a rum and diet coke, watching eastenders and trying to get my shoulders lower than my eyebrows.

    Catch you all later
  • Evening all

    Well, I've made it - today was NSD 15/15
    :j:j:j:j:j:j:j:j:j:j:j

    After checking my crystal ball, I'm going to ask to have a second total of 18 Spoony if that's ok :D - I should manage that without too many problems and I might even better it if I can just behave myself this weekend!

    I'm not sure today was a NSD day or not. I work sometimes with children and after some had been in and gone my friend/collegue noticed a bug in my hair.:eek:

    So I had to go to Boots for 'essential nit comb and treatment'. Just could not face a weekend of itching thinking I might have brought some 'new pets' home.

    My OH wanted to hose me down before letting me through the door with a pressure washer when I told him.

    Good evening...ha...ha..ha..haaaa CHOOOOOOO! Blearghhh!

    Sorry about that, chaps, the jolly old cold is working its way through Nargleland at the mo.

    Hope everyone is okey dokey ratchetting up the NSDs total, must be in line for a record this month!

    Jinty - No wonder Rabbie Burns is no longer with us, if he goes round telling his missus she's got a face like a pudding and talks a load of tripe...

    BigMumma - hope you are up to speed with all the gossip (for all the new members, Big Mumma is a bit of a character,loves a bit of gossip, just needs a garden fence and a set of hair curlers and she's well away...)

    Was going to say something to CW but forgot what it was. Never mind, once I have been and posted on the MSE Make Your Own Hats for Special Occasions thread I might remember what it was....

    Oh, and by the way......

    10 NSDs!!!!!!! one superNargle, there's only one superNargle.....
    One life - your life - live it!

    Eeeeeekkkk, think that has to count as a NSD as an absolute essential!
