I've been struggling with unexpected spends so it's good to finally add another one!!! It's getting a bit tight for my target so i've made a strict plan to make sure i get my 18!!

Hope everyone's on track

Good morning folks!
Moving in the right direction at last - #7 for yesterday, hooray!
Going for #8 today. I'm hoping not too spend before Friday this week - fingers crossed!
Had a really good day at work yesterday - got all my deadline work completed on time ( COB yesterday) so I was delighted, as that's my first "month end" completed without too much trauma;)
Now I know what's involved, I can plan my workload better which will be a big help!
Slept like a top last night - wonder why, mmmmmmmm?

Keiss - loved the card. I used to do loads of x stitch, but I find it hard to see in the winter with electric light. I have a craft light but even with that I find it hard to see. Well done!:T

Kerri - (((hugs))):A

SF - no slapping from me, but I WILL be forwarding the kippers on to you!:rotfl::rotfl:

Beanie - hope you enjoyed your outing with your Mum:)

Off to chuck myself in the shower -
Have a lovely day everyone:)

Hi all nsd number 8 today. Had three little spendy days in a row me and OH went to see Russell Howard saturday and had a couple of drinks, sunday i had to pop to supermarket fr some bits and yesterday DD1 had to come home from schooll as they had no water and we went to the shop a brough some butter to make valentine biscuits for OH and DD2. Hopefully back on track for the rest of the week and i am just over half way now.

Grrrrrr it appears I've lost a few days again (on the thread I mean) its just not good enough and I spend ages catching up (cos I'm nosey and HAVE to know whats been happening )

Kerri - sorry you've been feeling a bit glum. Hope your feeling 'normal' again soon :A

Jaffacakegal - boo to the car

Well i've been a busy little bee getting another FB page set up (for business) and sorting out all the tax stuff which was actually much easier than I first thought So scary stuff but I'm actually self employed now with my own business :eek:.

Sunday was the spendy day I expected and a friend invited us to local soft play today so I put the money to one side to pay for that (unless I buy a cuppa then I'll have to declare it as a spendy day). Monday was a NSD taking me to 8 NSD's which I am quite pleased with and fingers crossed today will be aswell - will pop back something to declare

Morning all - number 7 for me yesterday xx

Thanks Jinty, and everyone else who has said such lovely things about my card for DH.

He does love it...I will frame it sometime, along with last year's. I quite like the idea of a collection of a set of framed HM Valentine cards!! I still have the first valentine card DH gave me (a large Snoopy one) - 31 years ago :eek:!! In it he wrote all the words to Fleetwood Mac's "Songbird", that's why it is "our song". Eva Cassidy does a lovely version (got her new CD from DH yesterday :heart2:). Who said romance was dead!

As to X-stitching, new glasses and a daylight bulb in my floor lamp have helped me immensely. I also tend to stitch in the conservatory, where it's lovely and bright. I have a portable craft light (though it has a power cable) and I will be taking it up to Scotland for our holiday there this summr....can't wait!! We are definitely getting to Orkney this year...house is booked already :j

Declaring today as NSD no 11..so getting there...not sure if I will manage 5-in-a-row, we forgot to get tomatoes yesterday Wonder how long we can stretch the small, slightly soggy ones we have left!

So day number 7 of NSD. I am loving this as when you think for a whole week of Feb I have spent nothing....it feels good inside :-)

It's good to see everyone doing so well this month on here!
