    Thanks Rachelhen - I spent all day yesterday thinking about this challenge and how I'd like to start the month with a NSD. Certainly makes you concentrate on what you spend your cash on. :)

    And it's only the second day of the month so don't worry - another 29 days to get loads in x

    Good morning all!

    No NSD yet for me as I bought a little birthday pressie for my pal yesterday and sent off for my Christmas cards.
    Today I thought I would manage one, but I need bread and one of the lightbulbs popped this morning and I dont have any spare. I think that is an essential spend tho........hmmmmm!:think: Will consider and report later!

    How exciting BDINI! I'm sure you will cope with your usual aplomb!Maybe you could persuade the Minister to rent your house? What a shame they've clamped down on MP's expenses, you could have been on a winner there!:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    Have the dermatology this morning so I am going in later, no rushing about today!


    Have a great day everyone!:)


    you will always be rich enough to be generous.

    Ooo - good luck. Sure it will be fine - they're usually pretty well behaved when let out of the office on public duties.

    Plus they're usually good with nervous people. In a previous life as a civil servant, I once had a complete fit of nerves while briefing a minister - he dashed off to make me a cuppa and stole chocolate from one of his staff to help calm me down. Total star.
