    Reporting NSD no 16 today, ain't goi'n nowhere!!!

    Well done beanie on your son getting more than one choice, good for him :T.

    Thanks for all your wonderfull comments on all of us spoon, never apologize for nattering!!!

    Got a shock last night when DH asked if I had made a bag for his mum as it is her birthday tomorrow :eek: We had totally forgotten :o.

    I managed to find a little purse I made a couple of weeks ago. Also found a box of choccies (originally destined to be a Xmas pressie), and a lovely brooch I got at a CS, a few months ago. To round it all off I found an old penny dated the year she was born. So before I had breakfast, I cleaned it with some vinegar and Aston$sh (didn't have any coke). DH has taken all the bits to work to wrap up. He has a stash there to wrap up pressies for me (:smileyhea). He will post the parcel, so I can still count today as an NSD. :j

    Quite chuffed I was able to round up bits and bobs to give her presents she will like. I had accrued a few things for her over the past few months, but we gave them to her when we were up there visiting last month.

    Right, need to get back to cleaning down the conservatory, determined to get started with staining the wood tomorrow :)

    As you can gather the tooth/face is feeling a bit better today, really hoping these anti-bs will do the trick.

    Before I go, has anyone been having "fun" with posting this morning?? My cursor seems to be jumping all over the place and strange things seem to happen. It could of-coourse be my lap-top complaining at having had Dr£amw£aver instsalled on it last night. Need to finish the cleaning before lunch so I can have a play with it this afternoon...can't wait!!

    Have a good day all x

    Hi folks :)

    I had problems with trying to get on the internet while on my hols, but sorted now :)

    I really haven't had a chance to catch up so really hoping you are all well, we are having the best time....I love going on holiday with my lovely family!

    Anyway, NSD wise, Friday wasn't but every other day except Tuesday was so that makes 5 more NSD's bringing my total to (drum roll please.....!) 13 :D I do have to admit that when we go on holiday DH usually pays for everything so I feel a bit of a cheat!

    Hopefully I will be able to keep up now internet problems have been sorted :)

    ETA - I was thinking I had better change my target....I'll see if I can get 3 more so my target is now 16 please, spoon x

    Well done on your 8lbs lost jinty :j Weight isn't exactly dropping off me on my diet but some inches are. Up to 6lbs off now over the last few months and wishing for another 11lbs to go! Might go and powerwalk my doglet too and see if a few more lbs drop off me :D

    Lily - :eek: to the salad con caterpillar,

    You make it sound so appealing! :rotfl: I said to DH that I hadn't seen a brown caterpillar before, then he pointed out I'd probably drowned it in balsamic vinegar! :eek::rotfl:

    So its decision time for him now!

    That's good news! :j
    :j:j:jLily - for no 13 and 7 in a row on Monday, that’s fantastic, well done you!!
    And no 14 and 8 in a row on Tuesday, that’s brilliant. Are you on the same chocolate mini-roll as Chris, it’s working well this month!
    And no 15 and 9 in a row, woohooooooo... well done you!! Prizelet on the way for your 9 in a row - I think that may equal our best ever

    Thanks Spoon! :D And don't apologise for being chatty!!

    Well I don't think I'm going to reach my target of 20, but I may get close. :) Today was a spend day as I had to get petrol before work, then had a drink out at lunchtime.

    My folks are coming round for dinner tonight and my mum's bringing her reading glasses to check for extra meat in her salad! :eek::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    Hope everyone's had a good day. :)

  • Thanks for your welcome :)

    What qualifies as a non-spend day? e.g. if I lent £20 to my Dad or my sister would that show I spent?
  • NSD 10 today, and am now officially skint, so should be able to easily hit my target :):( lol.x
