    Good evening all!

    Cheryl - changes indeed for you. Luckily your frugal ways mean you don't have to panic about finding another job just yet, who knows, maybe the ideal job is on its way to you? Or a business opportunity perhaps? Pants situation with the blokes, but you have survived before and will do again. Onwards and upwards!

    Kerri reminded me about the dreaded reindeer punch - and I had hoped it was just a distant nightmare......however, I think we all definitely need a night out or two, so here are my suggestions: November 30th being St Andrews Day, we should have a Scottish themed bash that night. So, how about it Beanie? All round to your place for a bit of whisky tasting?

    (Don't tell Jinty, she always brings loads of hairy-arrised blokes in skirts with her. Minus their undermentionables. Although, on second thoughts...oh go on, Jinty, you're invited! Just keep the numbers of blokes down, we don't want everlasting queues for Beanie's loo, particularly when Igor serves up his herring-flavoured shortbread with the pilchard margheritas.)

    And I am sure we can think of something good for the Christmas do, tinsel, reindeer antlers (No not real ones, Igor! Put them back where you found them!) and dancing snowmen strippagrams a-plenty!

    (The Nargle is back and raring to go....at least for a short while...)


    I've rounded them up, Nargle & they're good to go for the 30th!
    St Andrews Day wouldnt be the same without them! Now, where did I put my sporran and bagpipes.............

    Good morning all!

    We had a fab time on Saturday night, the food was terrific and it was great to be out together.

    Saturday was a NSD, but yesterday was not as I spotted a lovely dress/tunic in A$da which was reduced to £5! ;)

    However I did a very MSE thing - I have been saving A$sda vouchers via salary deductions every month and I get 5% off them. I took them to CS yesterday and had them put on a Christmas gift card so today I will get the annual bonus of £6 added. So £150 gift card only cost me £136.50 - which is great! I'm sure Martin would be proud of me!:money:
    I have only 1 to report taking me up to 10!

    Have a great day everyone

    Morning all! Hope you all had a fab weekend.:)

    Yesterday was my first NSD in what feels like ages. Today won't be as I need to pick up some bits from Mr T's at lunchtime - you can't have banger n mash without gravy :p. Need to order some xmas pressies off @m@z0n today too

    So currently at 11 NSDs. Hmmm...9 days left, can I manage 5 more NSDs?:undecided
