  • Ohhhhhhhhh *sigh* I used to live in York and it's fantastic any time of the year but even more so at this time (hope that makes some sort of sense - about to turn in as really tired) - the Christmas market is lovely....... *sigh* and Browns truely is one of my favourite shops (anywhere!) and the Designer Outlet *sigh*

    *Leaves room, shaking head trying to remember why she left York?*


    Oh I so want to go to York :( my sister has just started uni there and if I wasn't so busy with exams and the such like I would have been going up to shop and bring her back! As it is I'm thinking Liverpool for a day (change from Manchester like every other year!)

    Anyway Friday was NSD 1. So busy with band, 3 concerts this weekend so Sat and today were spends - yesterday I went shopping and got petrol also but today has just been drinks and raffle tickets so may go online shopping in a bit for Christmas pressies just to justify the wasted NSD :D

    NSD No 4 in the bag for me today. Saved DD a load as well, took dogs a walk to local shop with her instead of Mr M's (again) so she couldn't buy too much. I stayed outside with dogs. Who's a good girl then? Woof! Lol!
    For some reason I'm still not allowed to post attachments so can't put pics of puppies on.

    Big hugs to Rising, Miss T and everyone else who needs one.

    Best of luck BDINI with your prospective tenant.

    I haven't set myself a target for this month, but am going to see how I do.

    Thursday 1st was spend day - direct debits
    Friday 2nd was a spend day as I ordered the HP box set from Mr T (couldn't say no at £20 - and when I mentioned the offer to my chap he ordered a set as well !!)
    Saturday 3rd was a spend day - bread rolls, sandwich meat, and parking fee for country park I went to with my chap (he picked me up, which meant he paid for fuel..... we then had Chinese take-away for a late tea, which he paid for)
    Sunday 4th was a spend day - Whoopsied bread, mushrooms (ready to make a batch of spag bol tomorrow - I already have everything else), and some cream to go on mince pies I already have

    So not a single NSD for me yet this month :o

    No new NSDs for me this weekend, but I've set aside £15 tonight for my Ald! shopping tomorrow, so if I spend less than that I'm counting it as a NSD. I was going to go tonight but was so tired by the time I got off the train that I decided just to leave it.

    Morning troops!

    NSD #3 for me please for yesterday, only bought a big bag of carrots to make soup and they dont count under my rules!
    Made a huge pot of carrot and coriander to go in freezer for this week's lunches.
    Thet way the weather is going here, soup is def going to be required! It's Baltic here!

    Should be NSD today as I only have my fares for the week in my purse. I am really trying to watch the pennies as I have a couple of things on next week.

    Have a great day all - off to put my porridge on;)


    you will always be rich enough to be generous.
