Welcome to the asylum, Horseygirl, we always welcome new members to the gang.

Solventsoon (aka Spoon) and Slowlyfading (aka SF) are running this thread between them, and will give you the official welcome when they next log on to do the updates. In the meantime you will find a long post at the beginning of the thread which tells you what it's all about, and that post gets repeated throughout the thread to remind us all.

Basic rules - celebrate each NSD that you achieve.

If you can, post your latest total of NSDs in a large colourful print - this month we are mostly using Purple. (If you are not that much of a technobod, don't worry, some of us have only just discovered that a mouse doesn't always have whiskers and a tail).

Feel free to join in with our occasional (virtual) outings - as long as you have a cast iron stomach (Igor does the catering) and no sense of smell (Hubert is an incontinent donkey) you will be fine.

And, most importantly, NO F WORDS HERE! (as in..whisper it.... fail)

Brilliant, Nargle:T This should be repeated:D

Howdy Folks,
Hi@Nargleblast LOL LOL LOL LOL Hopefully halleluyah Chorus?? tailor made Cheery Greek Chorus instead of Merchants of Doom.
I got NSD NO 2 wooohoooo!! so maybe this week might proceed with an element of virtue.
How I did it.
Spent ages perusing MSE blimey lot going on here, lots to explore, how to explore that is the question, let alone add more viable Challenges except when I go away which should be Monthly if Virtuous and away Please God..
Ate chunk of Refridgerator Chocolate Cake which my Cake-a-holic girl-friend loved but which is loaded with delicious fat and calories ( a little of what you fancy does you good, a whole cake full is problematic). plan to make Mushroom Onion and plain chilli and garlic pzzazzed Baked Bean Pastie, add Ham or go for the Veggie Jugular again to make Veggie Friendly land Expeditions again. Watching TV. Dreadful Fairy Job Mother I do a better job at home on my humble little Laptop and delightful statistics about how 50+ are not wanted in work place in favour of young attractive ignorant youngsters. Scrap heaps great place to be!! Jamie Oliver goes to Hollywood and takes on Big Business who fob off School kids et al with junk food, so what if they get sugar diabetes etc? part of Big Business fobbing its considerable costs onto us. I did almost an hour on Stepper during Four in a bed and Come Dine with Me which made me feel more alive and gave me the requisitie sweat meaning a new dress everyday and preferably a bath also. Writing for over an hour 1,273 words done but it's gotta be habit and if I write a book like everyone can NORMAL size books 300k or whatever 'wordage' is required is the order of the day. Got up at 12 noon but it is best to wake up as early as possible properly slept in the Morning hours and get to bed at good time unless I have a late night. READING not done but I am slowly ploughing through Orwell Coming up for air and masochistically pulling apart the badly written junk that is the Fall of Lucifer by Wendy Alec who does not how to write and the Christian and non Christian world is blinded hyper rating a book that is not worthy of Christendom, let alone Jesus and is a shame to Christianity. I might just scan it and use a variable reading strategy, not worthy of usaul inward reading. Orwell is Book 50 to honour my Scottish male friendxxx French Radio there is strategy in this. Ads in french are not understood, I avoid ads!!! French enhances cognitive functions, french songs are great french songs seem to stick in brain in healthy way. Playing long long games of Word with friends with various Rellies on my beloved Iphone 3gs, owning an Iphone has liberated me into family Game-Dom and also messaging which you can handily do on the app!! Texas Poker to learn!!! as sharp friend is rather good and please god I play a game one day with him?
If I am St wouldbeqaulitymoneysaver I will nab as many NSD's as possible early in the month with optional using No Spend Days as NSD's and maybe chalk up extra credit!!!!
((((free hug for anyone who needs it))) Bdini and other Head Girl a fantastic attitude as Hugs Virtual or real are a really special thing.
love and blessings to all

*Tooooo Depressing* I switched off. At least MSE tries to encourage a positive money saving and shock horror SPENDING WELL atsmosphere around issues of money and life.:beer::beer::money::D We get given swearword beginning with s and ending up with e and we turn it into horse manure for our Rose Bushes and make a pretty Garden with Afternoon Tea being served on elegant (cheap) Bone China Cups and piles upon piles of Veggie Friendly sandwiches. (Veggie alienation being the Great No No). We than pack off to the Purplelicious Inflatable Tent where would be money savers of all hues are herded in by caring Pastoral Money Shepherds as sensitive issues of lifestyle mix with what's needed as Sharp Militant Consumer Training meaning we can learn to outwit those who are trained to extract our money off us. Feels like we are a wee David ( in a Kilt of course to fit in with Scottish Ambitions) but like David of the Bible we have our Slingshot and with help knock Goliath out good and proper and kill the swearword b ended with d. Perhaps part of our journey is exploratory Research what the thing is going on here!! and then we can strategise to defend the consumer in just fun and legal way. Bad reports never did any Company welll.
