    Evening all! Well May has ended with a spendy day *ducks as a kipper flies by* - thanks Spoony!!

    tbh it's not as bad as it could have been,

    £1.96 on tin foil for sarnies (errr, to wrap sarnies in not actual tin foil sarnies) and 3 tins of pasta letters
    £5.01 in Mr T - strawberries, natural yoghurt, mushrooms, baking potato, and a errrr....ham and mushroom tagliatelle (which wasn't 100% necessary I admit)

    Well done to everyone who's been clocking up the NSD in May.

    See you all over in the June thread.

    Here they come, kerri, seems like a fitting end to May:D:D:D:D

    DECLARING 24 NSDS FOR MAY I ACTUALLY BEAT MY TARGET:j
    Not sure whether my 24 nsd were a sucsess or not as when you've got no money you can't spend even if i wanted to,just feels a bit of a cheats way of getting so many.

    I am glad may is nearly over as i have had so much bad stuff happening,i think maybe a fresh start tomorrow might bring some good news for a change sorry not been posting much just had a lots going on needed to get it sorted but finding it really difficult just now
    Will try to post more in june well done to those who made their target and to those who did't quite make it .....there is always next time

    ((((((hugs)))))) mm7, I know you've got a lot of stuff going on atm, I don't know how you keep going, tbh.

    If we can help, even just by listening, please come and have a rant, you know we're all here for you.

    Take care

    Hi lovely gang :A
    Well the last day of May has arrived and there are some impressive numbers of NSDs appearing on the front page, I think we all deserve a collective pat on the back:T:T

    More NSDs rolling in again today and a few last-minutes rushes for the line. Well done everyone::j

    :j:jjinty - for no 14, that’s brilliant especially as you’ve been on your hols this month as well. Glad work was OK although I agree about the emails, what a nightmare sometimes!! If you have some spare sunshine I wouldn’t mind some, thanks

    :j:jcuddlymarm - well done for getting to no 15 - there’s nothing “only” about 15, that’s an impressive number and you should be proud of them, especially as you’ve had a busy month. Hope you enjoy your month off and your holidays and see you in July

    :j:jRock_Cakes - for no 19, you have indeed exceeded your second target and, in doing so, have earned yet another prize!! You’ve had a great month, especially with all the upheaval and the birthdays, well done!!
    Fingers crossed things work out for you and DH’s landlord comes up good.

    :j:jDiana Prince - for no 5 and your target met, that’s fantastic! :j:j Your prize is coming your way now, hope you like it. Good luck for June and I can’t believe it’s here tomorrow either, time is going way too fast this year!!

    :j:jBMF - now when do we ever ignore you.. come on, you are our inspiration!! Yay to no 22 yesterday, you’ve done really well this month.
    I like the idea of the summer solstice outing, though I think we may need to avoid Stonehenge, there was that unforgettable incident last year involving Hubert and a policeman..

    :j:jCatherineMM - for no 14, that’s brilliant and even better that it’s a record for you as well. Good luck for June.

    :j:jYorkielass - for no 14 and your your target met, that’s fantastic! :j:j Your prize is coming your way now, hope you like it.
    And no 15 as well so your target exceeded - another prize coming your way as well!
    You must be the only person grateful for rain on the Bank Holiday!!

    :j:jcaledonian princess - for no 8 and your your target met, that’s fantastic! :j:j Your prize is coming your way now, hope you like it. And 3 in a row at the end of the month to get there.. YAY!!!!
    Oooh.. like all these people falling at my feet, feel like I’m important or something... I could get used to this you know...

    :j:jLittleMissHappy - for no 14 and a lovely family day as well, that sounds great. Glad DH’s interview went well, fingers definitely crossed x

    :j:jfedupandskint - for no 15, that’s a brilliant total to finish on, you should be proud of that

    :j:jpinkfluffybabe - for no 22, that’s a great number to finish on, woohoo indeed!!

    :j:jbeanie - for no 24, that’s a brilliant number to finish on, three targets smashed and exceeded, you really are our star!!
    And thanks again, I really do appreciate all the lovely comments.x

    :j:jbellkat - for no 13 and your target exceeded, that’s brilliant. Prize no 2 is heading your way now.
    And thanks for the lovely comments. x

    :j:jkarom - for no 12 and your your target met, that’s fantastic! :j:j Your prize is coming your way now, hope you like it.

    :j:jmm7 - for no 24, that’s target no 3 smashed and exceeded now, that’s brilliant!
    Of course 24 NSDs is a success and please don’t think otherwise. I noticed from an earlier post that you were having some problems with esa and jsa - have you had a look further down the front page on here, there are some boards where you might be able to get some advice, it’s certainly worth trying. Thinking about you, don’t forget we’re here if you need a rant and/or help if we can provide any xx

    :j:jLula - for no 18, that’s a very impressive number for a returnee to the fold - well done!!!


    Hello to:

    jaffacakegal - hope you enjoy the cinema this evening:)

    Keiss - I’m with you on things just cropping up, my life has been like that as well, every job I’ve enjoyed (including this one) I’ve fallen into without any planning involved at all - life is strange sometimes.. Really hope you get yourself sorted out with something good soon, you’ve got some time left to think and hopefully plan something. :A Have you had a look at the “up your income” forum here, there are lots of openings and ideas available on there which might help and I’ll PM you the link to another forum with some ideas as well.
    Oooh... and a spendy day for you... I don’t think you’ll regret ordering the laptop, they’re a good make and pretty reliable. Hope you sell the PC soon.

    psychopathbabble - well done for making your target, that’s impressive for a first attempt. Onwards and upwards for June!!:D

    Red - a spendy day at the end of the month isn’t bad considering you’ve made your target, I think we can allow you that!;)

    kerri - I’ll let you off that spending today, by your normal standards that’s not bad at all (I’m ducking now before you throw something at me..):rotfl:

    If - thanks for my lovely picture and the comments, much appreciated x:A

    kathy - great month for you as well on the NSD front, fingers crossed for a repeat in June:D


    No NSD for me today, so finishing on 25 but I’m quite happy with that.

    Off to update the front page now, so see you all tomorrow both here and in June as I’m doing the roundup there tomorrow as well.

    ‘night everyone
