    First NSD today. Can't do tomorrow as I need to get petrol and do a mystery shop - although one is budgeted for, and the other will be reimbursed at some point.

    With lots and lots of tries I got there in the end!!!
    Dont know if I could do it again though :rotfl:
    Thank you Spoony for your additional help :grin:

    YAY!!! well done Beanie!!!:j:j:j:j:j:j And of course you can do it again:D

    Cheryl - glad today went well and that you're intending meeting up again:T:T

    jinty - the Shaolin Warriors are Chinese Kung-Fun monks (well, that's what they were originally). They do a brilliant martial arts, athletic, balletic type of show, some of it really is quite breathtaking. There are some videos on uTube if you want to have a look.

    Keiss - when you've finished your garden there's one here that needs a sort out:D:D

    BDINI - well done for your first NSD today:j:j:j:j Hope the new bathroom is looking lovely:D

    tattooed_lady - think you might be advised to remove the "f" word from your post before BDINI sees it ... we don't fail here, we just "don't quite make it". As beanie said in one of her earlier posts - sometimes life just gets in the way.


    And reporting no 3 for me today please BDINI - doing my level best to avoid the soggy paintbrush this month:D


    Hope everyone has had a lovely weekend and that all the mums have been thoroughly spoilt by their offspring:D

    Good morning all!

    #2 for me please! Other then going to my Mum's yesterday I didnt go anywhere!

    On the down side - after a few "incident free" weeks re the cat and it's unfortunate habit - he had done it again yesterday morning. I am really at my wits end and am seriously thinking of having him rehomed. I am, however, racked with guilt at the very thought, but it's causing so much friction between me and OH. Really upset at the whole thing as I'm wrestling with my conscience, but it's a serious hygiene issue! Have been awake most of the nightworrying about it:(

    Sorry for going OT a bit , but I know you guys dont mind.

    Although it's Monday,

    Have a lovely day everyone:)


    you will always be rich enough to be generous.

    Oh Jintyb, we went through the same with our cat a couple of years ago. She was an older cat though, but it was a really difficult time. Try not to feel too guilty as you have to do what's best for your family.

    I'm hoping for an NSD today, as long as nothing unexpected turns up. Hope everyone else has a good day

    Oh Jinty, what a horrible decision to have to make :grouphug:. You've tried your best to sort it out though, so don't be hard on yourself xx

  • Morning

    And how are we all? I have been on here for a while but it was my birthday over the weekend and well let’s just say I have blown the entire budget for the month (or several<not dared to look at the a/c yet>) :p which means I have absolutely no money left for the rest of the month and well it means I will be having some well-earned NSD. ;)

    Can you put me down for 10 (to begin with, target 2 will 15 and target 3 will be 20)

    Thanks
