(((((((((((hugs))))))))))) Spoon, hope you've had a better day today & you're taking care of yourself.

No NSD for me today, not the start i wanted but had to fork out nearly £15 on prescriptions :eek: as it appears i have mumps (double :eek::eek:)
So currently have a face like a hamster & feel slightly off my head due to the extra strength painkillers the Dr prescribed..... Ah well, at least the fact i am too contagious to leave the house will help the NSD quest!!

Thanks BDINI, today was much better and I'm feeling more like my normal self.
I think you need some (((((hugs))))) as well by the sounds of it, ouch, that sounds painful!!:eek:

You take care, lots of rest and fluids is the recipe for mumps, apparently. The rest will definitely do you good anyway, you've been chasing your tail for quite a while now.

Look after yourself xx:A

Spoon, take care of yourself. From what I've seen & read on here you're a superstar so don't overdo it :grouphug:

I'm really enjoying this challenge and the support/friendliness of this thread and as you can see I've finally discovered how to use different fonts & smilies (God help you all now!)

Aww... thanks SpendSpendSpend, that's really lovely of you xx:A. I'm trying to take things a bit easier but everything will be back to normal again next week, that's what I'm hanging on for..

Glad you're enjoying the challenge, it is a friendly place to be, everyone's lovely and that's what makes running it so enjoyable.

Lovin' the fonts:D

And hello to:

fakeplastictwee - hope you enjoyed Alton Towers today, you had great weather for it:T

L2B - well, you might have spent but you got a lot for £2.50, you can’t really knock that:D

Nargle - I’m watching out for the rocketing NSDs:rotfl:

ms_night_ryder - I’m with you on the coupons things, it’s soooooo embarrassing when they won’t scan first time and then everyone behind starts tutting:mad::o....

Lily_The_Legend - it would definitely be rude to avoid the pub garden in weather like this, make the most of it... Hope you enjoy Lee Evans, he’s really good.:T

babysteps24 - you can do it!!!:T




NSD no 2 for me on Tuesday, mega-spend day on Wednesday (but I'm not talking about that:D).

I'll update the front page tomorrow, see you all then.

'night everyone

Good morning all!

Made it #3 yesterday. Today will not be one though as I'm going food shopping this morning, plus weigh-in and I am popping in to Hobbycra£t for some "bits" for cards. I am going to practice what I was taught the other night, plus it will help me keep my mitts out of the biscuit tin!;)

Oh, BDINI - that sounds so sore! Poor you. Take it easy and get well soon!


IF - I loved the hug pic- genius!


Have a great day all - I'll be back later!:)

NSD number 2 yesterday achieved - yippee! Got to get petrol today but as it's budgeted, as long as I don't spend anything else which I don't need to, I should achieve number 3! Amazing how less I want that glass of wine after work if I have to break a NSD to go buy it!

Well done all!!!

Kx

Achieved my number 2 NSD yesterday
