Drum roll please....

Oh yes, and I worked out what I'd done wrong on the website, so I got my results, came out with a merit so I'm pleased with that (although the perfectionist in me is slightly disappointed it isn't a distinction, as it wasn't far off...). Mr Lotti really splashed out and bought a bottle of bollinger as a "well done" present! Silly extravagant man...

However, now have to find the money for train tickets, hotels, gown hire, etc etc... and figure out how to deal with warring parents, whether to invite my pa or not...

:j:j:j:j:j:j:j:j:j:j:j:j:j:j:j:j

Well done on the results, Lotti, that's fantastic - you should be delighted with that:T

Let's have some more champagne now

Thinking my asthma may have been triggered by switching the heating on and the newly painted (well, over 6 weeks ago) conservatory emitting fumes, not convinced about this, but it is the only noticeable difference that happened over the weeked. Ofcourse, I could just have been kn*****ed!

Peraps it's triggered by dust on the radiators being pushed into the air by the heat when they're turned on?

Another spend day I definitely won't reach my target now Plus my cat Iggy has gone missing He is the one who was really poorly at the beginning of the year - he's a bit like Garfield, never far from home, always wants food and ginger and fluffy - and I haven't seen him since yesterday afternoon.....Really worried as he never strays far from home - last time this happened a couple two doors down had taken him to an animal shelter as they thought he was a stray :eek: They thought this because he discovered their cat flap and kept going in to eat their food, so they gave him more (why do people do this? Don't they realise cats will eat food if you give it to them? Doesn't mean they are starving! And he is plump and well cared for!) :eek:

Sorry for rambling......I'm sure he will turn up...if he isn't back by tomorrow I will do some leaflets

Hope pud turns up LMH, they are a worry when the wander, keep us posted x

Hi All, sorry I've been AWOL this week, am over in Taiwan with work. Very busy and very tiring, but on the upside I have managed to clock up a few NSD AT LAST! Sunday didn't quite make it as one as I did a quick bit of gift shopping when we stopped over at Bangkok airport, however Tues, Wed and Thurs means I'm now up to 8 NSD :jThis month does seem to be a bit of a write off but there's always Nov and given some of the expense i've had my budget isn't too bad.

Sorry I've not had time to catch up on all the news, hugs to all who need them and well done to all those who have good tidings xx

Good morning everyone! :wave:

One more NSD caught yesterday, bringing my running total up to 20 NSDs! :j

LMH - hope the cat turns up soon - I'm sure he will, our neighbour's cat goes walk about all the time - sometimes we find him under our bed! ... Just had a look - no cat there at the mo - but will let you know if one turns up!

Lotti - Congrats with your result! :T

Have a good day everyone!

fedupandskint

I'm going for another NSD today to make it number 14 today. I'm also going to write a shopping list for tomorrow of things I need to get and be very strict with the list so I don't go mad in the shops.

wannabehermit

Morning.

LMH - Hope Iggy puts in an appearance soon, we had a couple of cats (black & white brothers) who would quite often go for a wander, I remember 1 coming back about 4 or 5 days after he disappeared totally black, been hiding in a coal shed or something we think. Fingers crossed for you.

I'm going to declare nsd7 for today. More rain so more staying in. Rubbish! But that means more cakes .

Yup I think so too...usually we have the wood-burning fire on before the heating, but the chimney needs sweeping and DH didn't manage to get it done last weekend. Must admit my asthma is bad when the fire goes on too

Have a lovely time in Taiwan...a good way to notch up a few NSDs

Hope your moggy turns up soon LMH, cats are independant s*ds, which can create heartache at times when they go walk-about. Lots of ((((((hugs))))).

Declaring today as NSD no 16...only 2 days to go, with four days left, so I should make it, fingers crossed!

elfen

NSD no 12 for me please and 2nd target met. Gonna go for broke and try for 14

ModestyB

Good morning all. (just about).

LMH, hope Iggy turns up soon safe and well.

Declaring NSD No 8 for yesterday which came as a total surprise. I even ended up slightly richer due to finding a £1 coin and a 5p too.

Please, how can I post pics of the dogs on here? I'd love you all to see them. TIA.

Hugs to all who need them.

SpendSpendSpend

Almost there, I'm at 14 NSDs now so I should be able to meet my target. At one point I really didn't think I would but I've been really good this week. Working late everynight helps! Tomorrow definitely won't be a NSD as it's payday so I'll spend like crazy, well I'll pay some bills

Take care everyone.
