    if - I don't think anybody minds you bumping the suggestions for how the thread works....I think you do an excellent job and it is very thoughtful x
    Iggy has had his check up and I just need to take a wee sample in for a final check and then thats it :D (do not ask how I have to do this *shudder* )
    I have had a small spend today...I didn't realise his consultation was free, but had to pay for a pipette, tube etc....
    Other than that I am having a really lazy day :o Because it is a spend day I might do a Mr T order for delivery next week but count it as paid for today, hopefully saving another NSD....3 is not good for 10th March but you can't predict events sometimes.
    Beanie - I hope you are feeling better? I noticed that you didn't have a fall yesterday, so hope that means you are getting better now x
    3dogs - thanks, it is great that he's home x
    tattooed_lady and kerry - hope you are feeling better soon x

    I've had number 3!
    I missed out on Number 4 yesterday and won't get another chance until the weekend (driving lesson today and london tomorrow) but am planning a sorting and lazing weekend, so that's hopeful!

    Love all round x

  • I'm founder member of the "I hate Tatco" club, jaffacakegal, want to join? I loathe the place:mad::mad::mad: for the same reason as you.. drives me crazy every time I go in there:mad::mad::mad:

    My problem is that I love it too much, I love mooching round the clothes and buying loadsa fatty foods that I don't need and "ooo a radio/ipod dock/alarm - I want it, I want it!" The temptation is too high! Aldi just doesn't have the same appeal, but at least I don't spend as much when I go!

    My main annoyance with MrT is that they have started being very very sneaky with their pricings (maybe they always have been but I haven't been looking!) - bigger packs of stuff are more expensive per item than smaller packs! It sends me barmy! Takes me hours do a shop cos I'm constantly getting calculator out and working out best deal :rotfl:

    Think I should definately join the "I hate Tatco" club!!

    Anyway NSD 4 yesterday, should be 5 today! :T

  • Well yesterday I got NSD no. 5 :j and my 4-in-a-row challenge! :j:j And no. 5 means I'm almost at the half way point this month :T

    Looking at several spendy days coming up though - already bought petrol (ouch) today and then meeting a friend for £4 pizza at Fire and Stone later.

    I have an on-line account, so I submit them to the company and generate a bill each time I take readings

    (I do also have a spreadsheet I keep track of my readings in - along with what the bill came to, my payment history, and my current balance situation. Means that when I phone them to negotiate a change in payments I have all the figures I may need to quote readily to hand ;))

    Thanks Cheryl - mine's an online account too, but I only submit readings when they ask me to, ie once a quarter. Do you mean you submit every month, thereby generating a monthly bill? Sorry, if Im being dense!:o
    Just back from my Mystery Shop - had to brave hail, wind and rain to do it , so I had an "essential spend on a coffee" I am ending today well in profit so I'm declaring today NSD # 5!
    This morning I had my breast screening in the mobile screening unit which is in our A$da car park this week. A one stop shop for your weekly groceries and having your bosoms checked/ squeezed/manhandled - what's not to like ?;)


    you will always be rich enough to be generous.
  • Afternoon :) i'd like to declare i'm up to 5 NSD's now :j and have gotten 3 in a row :j yey!

    Tomorrow may be another one but i need to go to town at some point so may go then, if not though i may get another NSD tomorrow :)

    well done everyone else!!
