    Morning folks!

    Just about to go and get ready for work! Got my fudge and traybakes to take in, so I hope I'll raise a bit for Comic Relief.;)
    All calm on the kitty/ dog front this morning so fingers crossed.
    Feeling a bit :mad: this morning with Talktalk who "very kindly" took their £30 dd a week early. Bill produced 8th, I got bill notification email on 12th and they took payt today, 15th. At the bottom of said email was the message to say they were changing the collection dates from 14 days after bill date to 7.Nit much time to query anything if you needed to! I'm having a bit of a time of it with my utilities ATM:(
    Just thought I'd mention it for any other TTcustomers on here. Sneaky devils!:mad:
    Hoping for a NSD day today, lunch packed, fares at the ready!

    Have a lovely day everyone!:)

    This reminded me I'd also seen that message, but hadn't yet seen the d/debit go out. Just been to double check mine, and although the email with the message says they're changing to the 7 days notice from March - with my email arriving on 1st, so I assumed it included my latest bill - my bill is actually dated 26th Feb.

    So I was still on the longer notice this month and my D/Debit went out yesterday (hadn't checked my account until this after checking the T/Talk site), which means that - despite resisting Whoopsies and on-line shops - I can't declare yesterday as an NSD :(

    Good morning everyone! :wave:

    Checking in to report that I managed to put off the food shop for another day, so yesterday was NSD 13 and 7 NSDs in-a-row, so I've beaten my mini-challenge target! Woo hoo!



    Addictive isn't it! ;)

    Sorry to hear about your kitty Jinty - hope you get her sorted out.

    Must dash, was nearly late for work yesterday!

    Have a good day everyone! Good luck with NSD catching! sunshine-012.gif

    You're an early bird Chris! Well done on the impressive number of NSDs - does that mean you've only spent on one day so far this month? :T:T

    Good news about the kitty! Fingers crossed that it stays that way. Grrr to Talktalk though - I find phone/broadband companies are the worst for messing you about!

    Today should be a NSD, I have 2000 words to write so if anyone sees my green light on I need a kick up the backside please! :rotfl:

    Not stopping long...promise, need to try and get things done today, or at least try too.

    Still feeling under the weather (bowel probs, so can't stray far :(), not up for much, but still have plenty that I can do!

    Yesterday was a spendy day, but was unable to get to the shops for a food shop... DH was too busy ferrying DS about, so no time either. Have an online shop coming this evening from Mr T, so another spendy....:(:(...but we will be fully stocked for a while then.

    Hope for a NSD on Wednesday, but Thursday is DH's birthday and we are getting some nice meat from the butchers for tea...hopefully I will be well enough to get it :o,
    (and some more fresh veg and eggs from the grengrocers).

    So must get off now and try and be productive!

    Have a great day all.

    Kate, your light is still on!!! :rotfl:
