    Hi lovely NSD-ers
    Hope you've all had a lovely weekend and managed to enjoy some sunshine, even those who had to work. It sounds as though everyone's been busy.

    I've had a totally NSD weekend so another 4 NSDs for me taking me up to my target of 20 NSDs - very pleased with that bearing in mind I've had 4 birthdays to buy for so far this month, another one to go... (I hate April, really expensive month).

    Hope the back to school rush goes OK tomorrow for all the mums and ((((((hugs)))))) to anyone needing one.

    'night everyone

    Good morning everyone! :wave:

    I hope everyone had a lovely bank holiday weekend!

    Reporting a spend day yesterday, as the cupboards needed topping up and I paid my annual sports club fee; however, fingers crossed fingers_crossed.gif that I clock up 3 more NSDs before the end of the month to reach my 2nd target.

    Have a good day everyone - lets hope the sunshine lasts! sunshine-012.gif

    Good morning all!
    Well I made it #18 yesterday - 2nd target met! Go on BDINI - revise my target to 20 please!




    Had a very easy day yesterday, reading and generally pottering about. Well done Spoon on your 20! March is my nightmare month for birthdays, so I know how that feels!
    Back to work today, but a nice short week!

    Have a lovely day everyone:)

    I have already spent £1 on my bus fare today and will be spending another £1 on my fare tomorrow then its payday on Thursday.

    So thats me at my target of 6 x

    That's Bad Luck for OH Shez, but one 'comfort' is there's far too many other folk in the same position these days :( Part of me is happy for a lovely couple getting wed on Friday, but a greater part is looking at the money being spent on the extra security, tying up the Armed Forces & cancelling police leave, all those heads of state being catered for & the obscene price tags attached to the "fashions"..& I want to be sick :mad: On a programme I caught over the weekend a young female admitted she had spent £450 on a HAT she had worn once, & I'm glad she felt ashamed to realise that money would have been a great help to the soup kitchen she had been forced to work as a 'volunteer' for the show.

    Sorry..soapbox :o..blood pressure medication has now been administered :p

    Thank Goodness for financially independent Offspring, for they bought a/ Pup a whipped ice cream cone from the Tinkle Man & b/ the sliced loaves because they didn't want ma's homemade wholemeal, so got the butter & milk while they were there :T That brings my current total up to 16, but a spendy today.

    Hi everyone,

  • Hi all!

    Well I've not been on here for over a week, and I've no hope of catching up and reading everything that's been written!

    My internet is pretty dodgy at home (really should ring Vodafone to complain!) so I usually check this at work on my dinner. But we moved offices a week and a half ago, and BT messed up our internet!! Still not sorted, so in the end I've brought my own dongle into work, and it is working annoyingly well here :mad: grr Vodafone!

    Anyway, I have still been counting NSDs at home and writing them in my book! I THINK I'm on 14 NSDs :rotfl:will update later once I've checked at home if I'm wrong!

    I was going to ask if I could increase my target to 14 but I think that's cheating if I've already hit it! Gonna try for another one or two before end of the month!

    Hope everyone had a nice Easter :)
