  • Hi everyone :wave:

    Didn't quite make my target in November - tho as that was mainly due to Black Firday week and Christmas shopping I think I'll be able to make it this month. Although I do have a few shopping trips planned and some Christmas dinners to go to - so I'll go for an optimistic 12 NSDs this month please.

    Good luck everyone and Happy December! Can't believe how quick the year has gone by again - at least there's lots to look forward to this month!

    It won't be an NSD for me as I am meeting a friend and her Mum for coffee and I may have to purchase a couple of the lovely crimbly decorations that they sell at the place I'm going (D*bbies) :D Back later for the first roundup of December :santa2:

    ETA - I used my free tea or coffee voucher and didn't spend on xmas decs so I might pull off NSD 1 today after all :)

    :D Not really on topic but I've just received the new and last Harry Potter film. I pre-ordered it in September so I'll count it as being paid for then. Guess who'll be watching that tonight! :D :T:T

    Oooh I pre-ordered that ages ago - and have since forgotten about it! So potentially very exciting post to come home to - Thanks B for the reminder! :j

    Unfortunately it's a Christmas prezzie for DD1 so I'll have to wait a bit longer before I can watch it :(

    Ooh, you got it a day early! I've ordered the box set on blu-ray for ds1 for Christmas (only £32.30, well impressed with that), so should be here tomorrow, but not too fussed if it doesn't come until after the weekend. I think he's getting a couple of the books for Christmas as well. They should start taking a bit longer to read, the 1st few have only taken him about 2 or 3 days each to read.

    I wouldn't bank on it. We got the last one on release date (2 copies so there was no fighting over it), and my youngest (who was 16 five days before it arrived) holed himself up in his bedroom and read it that day !!!

    Hello all! As I was soooooooo close to my target last month, I'm going to try for a similarly ambitious target of 15 NSDs for December. Although I have a few social occasions and a couple of weekends away this month, I have also bought most of my Christmas pressies and probably won't actually spend money over the Christmas weekend.:D
  • Thought I will have my First NSD today. But just got a call from DH to bring yoghurt on way home ;), There goes my NSD he he:)
