    Ok, I'm on here early as I'm declaring # 10 for today. Whew, double figures at last! Popped down to the PO to pick up a parcel and I was sorely tempted to go into Gregg$ for a couple of scones for me and sis, even though I have a cupboard full of choccy biscuits. BUT I gritted my teeth and resisted, boy that was close! _pale_ Then she turned up with a couple of cakes, so we had a lovely two hour catchup with no interruptions! Wonderful!;)

    Just relaxing till OH gets in, then a walk with doglet, very MSE!

    Hi All,

    Am pleased to confirm NSD's 9, 10, 11 and 12 this week - all in a row, and I am hopeful of a 5th in a row tomorrow, but might have to break it for milk - though I am going to go digging in the cupboard to see if I've got any long life stuff left first.

    Still have plans to make room in freezer for some milk but not managed it yet.

    So now on NSD 12 out of a targeted 20 for the month:D
    Debt Free since Nov 11 (ish) (except the £118000 mortgage :o) as at Jan 2013 but still hanging around DFW as I need to Stay On Track.

    Thank you. For now it looks like different tablets and stop all the other tablets (we think he has had a reaction to one but not sure which, he went itchy and heartburn went v bad). He really doesnt help himself as he wont eat healthy foods, smokes, is overweight and keeps taking neurofen like they are smarties (not so good for stomachs and that's what he is complaining of).

    Today was a spending days as Sainsbury's delivers and had to buy medicines for OH.

    *shhh don't tell but* even though I'm very tired I wish I'd gone to work today as he's been OK and very grumpy. We really could not do without me loosing income! :( The things you do for love (like rubbing his sore legs at 3am in the morning with hand cream as he's gone all itchy!!)

    Today is definitely NSD number 9 and - even better - my friend treated me to lunch (I went out with one of my best friends and her mum and the mum insisted on paying.....she is lovely and I think of her as my friend too :)) I insisted on paying for coffee, but spent a lot less than I put to one side for it, so the rest is going into my piggy bank :D To top it off we had an absolutely fantastic time and giggled our way through the afternoon :j

    Oh kdenty, you should really try and get your DH to at least swap the neurofen for paracetamols. I ended up with an ulcer last year (agony or what!), all due to the pain-relief that I was taking (ibuprofen/neurofen and then naproxen) for my bad back.

    Just threaten him with a laparoscopy and endoscopy - cameras going "in" from either end (not to mention the stuff you take beforehand to "clean you out"), not nice!! :eek:

    I am now resigned to never taking neurofen and the like ever again!! So no taking half an aspirin to combat heart disease either.

    Spendy day today, and looks like tomorrow will be too. :(

    Having to go and talk to the Building Society about what we are going to do once our present mortgage deal ends....so will have to pay for parking. I will have a look in Wilkos etc while I am there (been wanting to go there for ages, not been this year yet!). I think I will put some money aside today to cover the parking and some little extras...if I spend only this (or less), I just might count it as an NSD...what do folks think??

    All this talk about MOTs, I forgot to say my J-reg estate only needed some lights around the number plate to be replaced :j. Unfortunately DH's mini needed a new exhaust :eek: Oh well, it could have been worse :o At least that's another year we won't have to worry about replacing the estate...hopefully :D.

    Right off to get tea into the oven. Have a good evening.
