Whooohooo Just come on to say i've hit my Target!! NSD #18 :j:money:

very pleased with myself

Evening all! And thanks for the mention in the roundup Spoon - the non-smoking is going well, so well in fact that I felt I deserved a glass of wine tonight therefore spoiling my NSD! Oh well, I've been good lately and I think its the first time I've spent a non-essential penny this month! I've switched to red wine as this goes down a treat without making me want one of those nasty cigarettes . Need to find some healthy snacks to eat now - or maybe try a bit of sledgehammering like BDINI?

Cheryl - be very wary of all the talk of hats!! Do you remember the hats on display when I got married last year?!?!

No NSD today for me, but had a lovely gingerbread latte with one of my best friends, got a few bits of shopping that I needed and had a lovely day! Tomorrow and Sunday should be NSD's, though, so hopefully will reach my target by Monday x

Flying visit from me tonight, it's been a long week and I need an early night (well, by my standards this is early:D).

'night everyone, see you all tomorrow

I do indeed :rotfl:

In fact it was because of that I told people it's far too early to go looking for any

Tae a Haggis by Robert Burns

Fair fa' your honest, sonsie face,
Great chieftain o' the Puddin-race!
Aboon them a' ye tak your place,
Painch, tripe, or thairm:
Weel are ye wordy of a grace
As lang's my arm.

FYI (and a bit of a giggle) if you translate this into German then word perfect back again it says oh mighty Fuhrer of the sausage people :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:. I'd like to take credit for the knowledge but sadly I have to thank QI for it!! I LOVE that programme :rotfl:

Anyways back to NSD's I am finally happy to report I've met my target of 10 NSD's for this month its been a struggle but I am happy that I am there and that the spends have been kept small. I seem to be going backwards as I am sure when I started this challenge back in (oct? Nov??) I managed double that figure . I did know this would be a busy month though. Please can I increase my target to 13 spoon/sf and next month I will try harder
Today will be a spendy day sadly as yesterday was going to be because I needed a few bits of shopping (didnt need - wanted while they were still on offer) but mum picked them up for me while she was shopping meaning yesterday was a NSD and today I need to pay her back:)
