  • Got an unexpected extra NSD today due to being a lazy moo and not doing the food shop. So I get to declare 16 for this month but it does mean that I'll be getting off to a bad start with February. That'll teach me!

    Hello .................... do you remember me? ............... I haven't been on the thread since ........... wait for it ................... the 4th of January :eek: when I reported NSD number 4 :eek:

    But, with a week up North visiting Mam, who is still hanging on in there by the way :D, and a spell of light depression, which kept me posting just on my diary, I am back to report in that I reached my target of 15 yesterday, and got another one today to make 16 for the month - so January was 16 reached from target of 15 :j

    I haven't got time to catch up now, but hope that everyone is well and, if not, ((hugs)) to you all

    I'll have a look now for the February thread, post my new target and promise to try to report in more often next month :o:o
    :( Mr 3Dogs 3-7-12 :( 3Dogs'Mam 31-3-13 :(
