    No 7 NSD for me today please. This month's not going as well as I had hoped. Lots of birthday cards to buy, prescriptions, stamps and other little spends. Haven't been organised enough to buy them all on one day.

    Hope you are all enjoying the Easter break and especially the sunshine. Long may it last - ha ha:rotfl:

    Can't stop to chat I'm afraid..got bluddin' poota probs so have resorted to a bt of skull-duggery to do this post :shhh: :shhh:

    Just wanted to say the Tardis looked wonderful Spoon; no-one would have suspected Hubert's indiscretions if they didn't know where to look :p just as well with a visit to The White House...

    I've reached target today with No 15. I know I've got a spendy that I'm hoping can wait till Tuesday, probably another on Thurs & if I forget to put the mony by [which no doubt I will :whistle:] there'll be more dosh doled out on Saturday for a copy of a newspaper for each of The Offspring. I started back in December 1999, then started buying newspapers on Jan 1st every year & for any really important event, so they will have their own personal History archives to show their children. It seemed like a good idea at the time but now we've lost storage in the loft there's an awful lot of 'em to rehome somewhere :o

    Evening all! Well I had a rare day without logging on to my pc at all yestersay. Spent the day chilling out in the garden reading and generally being pretty lazy so the plan for shopping went out the window (well it was just too hot to be stuck in stores) so I can announce one more NSD for yesterday, AND one more for today...so that gives me a total of 12 NSD :j 'Only' two more to catch for the month.

    Planning to do some shopping tomorrow and we really need some grocery supplies, only have about 10 tea bags left :eek: and I'm starting to break into a cold sweat.

    I do also need to get my brows done, not sure if I'll manage that tomorrow or not time-wise.

    Hope everyone is enjoying the Easter break - do we have our hats ready for Friday?

    Oh, and watched the first episode of the new series of Doctor Who this afternoon - HOW GOOD WAS THAT? Counting down to next Sat already :)

    Hi Everyone,

    I have only managed 9 NSDs, I would type this in red, but everytime I try and change the colour it says [COLOUR = "red" 9 [ /COLOUR], not sure what I am doing wrong.

    It has been very hard not spending, due to the summer weather, but I have been cheeky and gone to see some friends who have a lovely garden and just spent the weekend chilling with them. Very relaxing. :-)

    Hope everyone has managed to enjoy some of the lovely weather.
