    :hello:

    Hi lovely NSD gang xx

    Well kitty is lovely :) her name is Lara and the lady I got her from had some food and litter. I am not going to let her out for a while until she has got used to the smells of the house and can find her way back.

    She has managed to find one of Orphan's old tennis balls.............don't know where it had been hiding and has been playing with that and an old bottletop for hours :rotfl:She is sleeping at the moment, I have found out that I will have to start putting my clothes away and not leave them folded up in the living room LOL.........This will all be good for me, I gave become a bit of a slob since losing Orphan :eek:

    Hi Kathy
    I'm so pleased to hear about kitty, she sounds sooo cute:D. I think you'll find she will help you in ways you couldn't imagine and she'll be great company for you, cats have a real personality and a big presence for something so small. They also love clean washing and will make a beeline for it, something to watch out for:D

    Thanks Kerri :)
    The most expensive things that I bought were shoes, and although I like them, I don't need them. I am going to think seriously about whether to keep them. I take a size 8, and they don't often have my size in shoes I like, which is why I ended up buying them.
    Well, I have 28 days to return anything if I want to.

    I recommend going into a bookshop and finding a turquoise book - philosophy or religion section - called the The Tao of Pooh and Te of Piglet - pg 144 - ideal for shoe shoppers.

    I need to get back on the NSD wagon, I am doing so badly :(

    Now come on, sf, you'll have BDINI after you with the sledgehammer and me with my bum kicking smiley if you keep that up.

    You've got 9 of the little darlings, that's pretty good going by anyone's standards.:T:T

    Good morning all!

    Made it # 15 yesterday - target met!th_3121a.gif


    That's me off now till Tuesday, yay!
    Today I need some food shopping and diesel, but I'm really watching the budget this month as I have a lot of misc spends coming up ie hairdos for me, OH and doglet ( Guess who's is the most expensive?)
    car service, cat boarding for hols, so I'm trying to make small savings here and there.It actually makes a big difference when you put your mind to it!;)

    BTW SuziWong, thats a brilliant reduction in your debts - well done:T

    Anyhoo, I'm off to have another cuppa and compile the shopping list
    for today!

    Have a lovely day everyone:)


    you will always be rich enough to be generous.
  • I can finally add another NSD to my total, even though my friend is still staying with me I managed a NSD yesterday.

    Hi I have not really done much in the way of shopping at all this month as i was away for a week on holiday so I only had three days so far where I have spent any money One of which was today when I lashed out £1.28 on a lettuce and a packet of philly-type cheese from Aldis.So out of 21 days in April I have had 18 of them as NSD I am looking forward to May and the new month as it will be a complete month and I really do want to use up a bit more in my cupboards and freezer
