    Right, CW, you don't drink, you don't gamble....but that still leaves a lot of mischief to get up to! Having said that, I am not a gambler either and my drinking is only occasional i.e. 1 to 2 units a month if that. (Nargle scuttles off to polish halo before heading out to work)

    I do the lottery ;)

    I just don't like the 'use' of animals for entertainment when there's even a slim chance they may have to be destroyed due to an accident.

    Quite - although I had actually saved some pennies over the past few months knowing this was coming up I hadn't quite bargained for that bill. Still I guess it's a step forward that I had budgeted for it, I did put it on my cc but only for the 1% cashback and will trans the £ tonight (not that i'm sure come next year the cashback will be still active anyway)

    And today makes NSD #4 :T

    Tomorrow won't be an NSD though - need milk, want to pick up some cheapo jelly (if there's any left), and definitely looking like clothes shopping (which I now hate doing), plus I desperately want to chip in to the cost of tomorrow night.

    Sunday is debatable..... now definitely looking at taking part in the 5 mile race, so have to pay an entry fee. But as I know what that'll be, I'm thinking of being sneaky and putting the money to one side tomorrow (need to put the correct cash to one side while I'm spending tomorrow anyway, so can't see that it's cheating ;))

    Spend day for me today, but a Friday probably always will be.
    I needed to do a supermarket shop, and then went to an Easter coffee afternoon at grandaughters school, which was lovely.

    I'm hoping for at least one NSD over the weekend.

    Hope everyone's enjoying the sunshine,
