    I was thinking about buying a USB turntable, have you used yours much and, if so, is it any good?
    Haven't actually taken it out of it's box yet blush.gif
    Might see if I can dig out some vinyl this afternoon and have a bash at it......

    Is this where I confess to owning it on vinyl?

    Was in a charity shop last year (? may have been the one before) and they had a Val Doonican album my parents had when I was a child - which includes this track - and I couldn't resist rehoming it ;)

    Gosh we've certainly stirred up a hornet's nest with our reminicences of Val & Co. My Dad had a few Val Doonican albums ( probably still does, somewhere) The one I remember as his fave was "Val Doonican Rocks.........but gently" ( geddit?;)) which was a nod to him finishing the show singing in the rocking chair! The song was usually a right tearjerker and my Mum and Gran would be bubbling away! ( Scarlet Ribbons springs to mind!) Terry Wogan used to call him Val Hooligan:rotfl:

    Afternoon all!

    A bit later today as I've been to Co$tco , BUT I'm declaring an NSD ( #9) How I hear you say? Cos OH paid ( he got a wee bonus this week):j
    We stocked up on some freezer stuff and the all-important sweetie cupboard is nice and full!
    We then dropped into Sis' house as it's her birthday today. Coffee and a good catchup, as my M&D were also there, as were my two nieces.
    Quiet day for the rest of the day, I'm chilling out with my book!
    Have a lovely day everyone:)

    Count me in as well :D

    (And anything from the Spinners as well !!!)

    Ahhh- takes me back!! My Mum was a great fan of both Val Doonican and the Spinners, so I too was subjected to these as a kid! I remember going to see the Spinners in concert a couple of times, and we often had their albums playing in the house :eek:

    I actually came on here to announce today as a NSD, but whilst I was sat here, remembered going to the butchers this morning :mad:

    I'm not doing at all well this month. I think it's just that I've been SO busy that I have been rather disorganised. I'm looking forward to the end of the month so that I can get a grip and start again!! :o

    Hello everyone! :wave:

    Checking in to report that Friday was another NSD, so I'm now up to 16 NSDs! Woo hoo!

    Unfortunately, I had to top with petrol today, and I'm out with friends later, so today is a spend day - but looking forward to having a drink and a catch up ... there won't be any Val Doonican nor the Spinners, but I'll be thinking of you all anyway!

    Have a good weekend everyone and hope you're enjoying the sun! sunshine-012.gif

    Is it just me, or is it quiet on the NSD thread today :eek:
    Hopefully everyone has been out enjoying some nice sunshine and NOT spending money where they hadn't intended to! :rotfl:
    Sadly I can't claim a NSD today (again), but following :A can!

    Well done to you all - and well done to those who are trying really hard whether they spend or not!
