  • Hi Everyone

    The whole NSD was going so well to start with things keep sneaking up on me and it will be a spendy day by 70p or something stupid like that!

    Anyway managed to bag NSD #3 on sunday :j, after having a great free day with B'friend, future godson and OH. Forgot how great (and free) walks are, especially now the little one likes swings and parks!

    Not sure how today will go - off climbing tonight but will try to take drinks and snacks so I dont spend there! Its always drinks and snacks! :(

    Yesterday was a spendy day as it was the weekly shopping day, but came in slightly underbudget.

    Hoping for a NSD today as tomorrow will be a spendy day (one of my offical crimbo shopping days, yes i even organise them:o)

    Rising good news about the car :T
    Honey i really hope your dad is feeling better soon ((((hugs))))

    Car names.......my grandad always told me that all cars are ladies but some of the names we have had for ours arent quite ladylike. I tend to link names to the license plate so at the moment our car is called looney:D ( fits right in with our family)

    The thing is i may only take one letter or one number and suddenly a name pops into my head. My OH often can't figer out how i get the name from the plate as there is often no real sensible link but thats just me i guess:D

    ((((((hugs))))))) NSDers

    I hear ya Queenie! My Dad used to have a tiny Fiat 500 when we were kids for ferrying us around. The first letters of the reg were WPP - that car was and is forever WeePeePee ( a bit naughty) -that was nearly 40years ago and we all remember that car!:D
    My sister had a Cavalier that we called Hoss as it was indestructible.;)


    you will always be rich enough to be generous.
  • Had finally decided on Percival (the Peugeot) when my brother text me (it was his car originally) - "Hope you haven't crashed the car yet. Oh and by the way her name is Patricia" :rotfl:thought it was cruel to give her an unwanted sex change after that ;)

    :eek: I should think not!:D Glad it's not just us ladies that name our cars!;)

    Sorry to mention it but sadly still no news on the missing old dog from fireworks night - please can you all pray he's found soon, I really can't bear the thought of an old lad out by himself all alone, scared and cold:(.

    Poor old soul, I really hope he's okay and found soon. The owner must be frantic, I know I would be if it was mine :(

    I feel happy in declaring NSD#2 in Fresian Towers as I'm now home from work and it's cold outside so I'm not leaving the house again! I'm going to spend the night crafting as I have seen instructions on how to make lovely shabby-chic photoframes so I have one from the poundshop and I'm going to see if I can make it look a bit posher. If I can, then Christmas here they come :rotfl:

    Hi guys, I hope that the poor old doggy is found soon. I hate to think of him being all alone. Hopefully someone kind has taken him in, that's what I would do :)
    I am just popping in to report that
    I didn't manage a NSD today :( I had to get the bus in the end cuz I got vaught 2hrs away from home in the rain, waaaa. i was planning on walking everywhere today but that went down the pan, so I popped into C*-op where I know they had BOGOF on some bits I wanted for Xmas pressies so at least thats one good thing that came out of having a spendy. Love the car name mummy's moggy Jaffacakegirl reminds me of those kids books Meg and Mog :)Honey I hope your Dad feels better soon.
    Whilst I'm here actually, does anyone do their own tax returns? I've only been self-employed for 4 months so I will be doing one for the first time. PM me the names of any good threads on here if you know of any. Thanks,
    Suzi

    Not a NSD for me again - mum and dad offered to look after the baby as well as the toddler :) the oldest is at school so i did a bit of drifty-floaty shopping today... I don't mind that sometimes, but I guess I need to put my work boots on now if I want to meet my target...

    Hope all the lost pets are found soon :(
