  • It's cold and raining here,which is fine with me....Might go for a walk later at the lakeside to blow away the cobwebs.Definitely an NSD #11 though...:D

    Hope you all have a relaxing Sunday!
  • Good morning folks from a so far dry and slightly sunny NI:eek: I enjoyed the wedding and have a fairly expensive hangover, as it was £5.50 for a glass of wine or £2.30 for a soft drink:eek:. I thought that some people had the right idea when I noticed they had brought in their own refreshments, but was thankful I hadn't bothered when it was taken off by the Hotel staff and they then had to go and buy more drinks and am sure they were very :mad:.
    I don't intend going out today, so am declaring NSD13:D
    I also hope everybody has a good day and enjoys the rest of the weekend.:beer:
    If you've nothing decent to say, perhaps you shouldn't say anything.

  • Lily - wash your mouth out with soap for mentioning the "C" word in September:eek::eek: Hope the hen do goes well and, like Red, that the hangover isn't too expensive....

    It'll come round quicker than you thought! :p:rotfl:

    Feel ok today, just a bit tired, as I didn't drink too much. Took just under £40 with me and came back with a £20 note! :D Managed to get a £9 train fare in with what I spent plus something to eat! :money:

    Well done on your 14 NSDs! :T

    That looks lovely JCG! :T
    Thankfully, no more trips to the shops as squeeeeks recipe was perfect :D In fact, it turned out so well I got my confidence back and made a baked one too which also came out really well, so now I will have two cheesecakes and a Victoria sponge to take tomorrow! :beer:

    Yay, well done! :j

    I should have another NSD today, but will confirm later or tomorrow. Hope everyone has a good day. :)

Need to do a meal plan for next week as we go and do the shopping tomorrow, also need to tackle mount ironmore and i am fed up of seeing washing as i haven't caught up from the weeks holiday. Just can't seem to get motivated since we went on holiday.
