    Wooooooo for Fridays smiley-bounce014.gif

    Doing my Friday wiggle (or bounce!)

    Today won't be an NSD as I need some stuff from Mr T - should be an LSD though, as I will be using one of my vouchers. I'm hopeful that he week-end will be spend free :p

    Have a great day everyone x

    :hello:

    Happy Friday all NSDers

    Gosh I haven't been in for so long!!!!:eek:

    Have had a quick read and hope that the mouth is better soon Jinty :grouphug:

    Also hope peeps off on holidays have a lovely time :D

    I haven't been in but have managed to clock up some NSDs :jStarted really well with two but then got caught out with needing stamps then last weekend I had to go to Brackley to give a talk for work...........this involved me going over on the Friday night to 'plan my route' (which I'm really glad I did as would have arrived at the wrong place on the Saturday if I hadn't LOL) but I did end up spending that day and had to fill up with petrol in the Saturday, got leccy too though so could do it all on the one day :). I did get the mileage back and it also got me out of the hostel for four hours of my shift which was nice :):) I also discovered that I quite liked the A43 which made me feel good :D mind you I did find a nice lorry to drive behind so only had to do 60mph which was nice:).

    I was proud of myself too when I got the cash for the mileage as I also had a tenner in loose change and took it to the bank to put in!!!! The bank is in the same complex as Mr T's but it's free parking and I left there without spending anything :D:D and also got a few in a row so I am up to 7 NSDs so far and am aiming for one more today. I did get caught out last night though......I had to split my 'floating day' at work into two which means I'm only off today. Had a shift at my other job last night and was all ready with no money etc but the girl I was on with owed me a fiver and I must admit I went to the shop for some 'comfort food' on the way home :o. I am also too tired to get on with all the stuff I should be doing in the house and the weather is a dismal grey so I don't feel very motivated today but have got some washing on and done the washing up so that might do!!! I may ring my friend and go over to hers for a coffee in a bit..............will mean sitting in a clean house LOL.

    Lara has discovered the kitchen window and is out more than in!!! I think she has met every other cat that comes through the garden and she is feisty :rotfl: She does keep bringing snail shells in though and playing with them!!! So far they have all been empty so I am keeping my fingers crossed they stay that way:cool:

    I have also just found out this new Firefox browser corrects spelling :think:

    Will be back later as I am determined that today will not be spendy

    Hellloooooo All! Did you miss me? :D I'm back from a lovely week in sunny sunny Spain :j:j Had a lovely holiday, although it's nice to be back home too. Don't think I have any new NSD to announce from before I went :o and deff not one today as had to go and pick up cat from the cattery and they relieved me of £85 for the pleasure of her company :eek: Haven't had a chance to catch up on all the news I've missed, didn't get back in the door 'til gone midnight last night/this morning.

    I do have a few bit's n bobs from pre-holiday purchases to return to stores (where I couldn't decide between one or the other) so that's good, and the other good news is that although we only came home with €10, we didn't go over our holiday spending money - so in a way no new spends have gone out of my account for a week (err, well except the care breakdown cover - but I managed to get that down from a renewal quote of £200, to an actual price of £100 :T)

    Right, I must go and mow the jungle that has sprung up at the front in our absence.... laters all!!! *wiggles off in a Friday manner*

    NSD number 9 for me yesterday - if I can get through today without having to spend I will meet both my targets. Fingers crossed I will do it, but still have to pack my bag for tomorrow and no doubt I will be missing something!!!
