    Sorry the update was a bit late, i've been having big problems with my tinterwebby connection, apparently it's due to "the wrong wind" (according to customer services :eek:)

    As i can't open more than 1 web page at a time, can i ask a huge favour.... if you have posted your April target on the March thread, please post again on here & i will update forthwith!!

    Hello all!

    A bit late posting today, busy day so far!

    Today is def NOT an NSD. Have done a load of food shopping but by juggling between A$da, £id£ and Co$t0, I've filled my cupboards etc for not a lotta loot:cool: . I also put diesel into the ve-hic-le and tried not to cry as I watched the £ signs whirl round:eek:
    Been for lunch with the sister and had a good catch up and also popped into the library.

    Whoop whooop! It's Friday.....who has the Friiiiday wiggle?

    Well, since I didn't leave the orafice that pays my wages, I have clocked up NSD #1 today :j I was going to upload some photos online for printing tonight (something I keep meaning to do - people keep telling me off for lack of pics in the house and we do have quite a lot of empty photo frames) but for the sake of a NSD i'll put it on my list to do over the weekend.

    Tomorrow won't be a NSD, gonna try not to get crushed in the crowds and see if I can pick up some reasonable priced flowers for mother's day - the lady in the precient does some nice water boxes that are normally about £12, if she's put them up tomorrow I'm not getting one as I resent paying extra just cos of a certain day (in the same way you get ripped off a valentines). Then in the evening I'm off out with a work friend and some others for dinner and drinks for her b'day. Will try and keep the spend sensible but I am rather dreading getting the bill and someone pipes up 'let's just split it' as I think the thing I like most on the menu also happens to be the cheapest. I don't want to sound like a miser though and say 'we'll only pay for what we've eaten' :o

    Sun may or may not be spendy, I'll pop round and see my mum. If she fancies we can pop into town for a coffee (I have a BOGOF for C*ffee Republ*c) else we might just have a chat at hers.

    Right, off to dismantle a cross trainer that has broken and is destined for the dump tomorrow since no one on Freegle seems interested (one guy did leave me his mobile but never replied to my follow up email - perhaps it wasn't the cross trainer he was after ;):rotfl:). Then a mooch on fleabay to see what others are for sale. It's sure a wild night here tonight :rotfl::rotfl:

    I'm going for 12 NSDs in April! Good luck everyone!

    Our greatest weakness lies in giving up; always try just one more time

    It was day 1 NSD for me today - did have a filling at the dentist which I had to pay for however I claim back the full amount and its in my a/c in a few days meaning no spends at all in reality! Thank goodness for the cash back scheme atm with everything going on with teeth, eyes and physio - big outlays but luckily I can claim a lot of this back in fact almost all of it!
