Not cheeky at all Spoon, wouldn't be an NSD challenge, without you having a prize on the front page!!!!

I've took the liberty of increasing your target once you hit 20, so you now have 2 prizes.... & if you sneak another one in before the end of the month, you might even get 3!!!!

Christmas was lovely thanks, i just can't believe how quickly it all seems to be over these days!
Hope yours was fab too? x

Aww.. thanks BDINI, you're a star xx

Wooohoo..... I'm definitely aiming for prize no 3 now!!:D:D

Glad you had a good Christmas, I did too thanks xx :A

Thanks LMH! I'm determined to be debt free in 2012, and the more NSDs I collect, the sooner I'll get there! And I caught one more NSD yesterday, so I'm now reached my 2nd target of 24 NSDs! :j

Have a good wiggle everyone and enjoy that Friday feeling!

Ooh if you are do you fancy meeting up for a coffee? I can always find an excuse to visit the shops

Just in case there's any shops you fancy visiting .... http://straitonretailpark.blogspot.com/p/to-z-of-stores.html

Also a Costa Coffee somewhere & there's an Asda opened since I was last there (very handy as I usually end up back-tracking to the Jewel on the way home) - no idea where that is but it'll certainly have a cafe too.

Will have a look in the AM as run out of energy & my bed is calling again!

The Costa is just next to M&S at Straiton.
Havent used the A5da over there ( its past Ikea towards Penicuik) - the Jewel is my "local" .

Maybe in the New Year we could have a NSD coffee get together? That would be great! :T Hope you feel better Rising

got an email at 8am today to say the slicer has been handed to the courier, and then a text and email at around 9am to inform me the breadmaker would be delivered 'between 12:24 and 13:24 today'. The delivery times concerned me a little as I had a running club race this morning, but by ducking out of the prize giving a few minutes before it finished I managed to get home at 12:20 - and the delivery van arrived at 12:25 !!!

Wow! That's great service!!!:D

Just don't ask me for recommendations, as I will admit I rather blew the budget on these - each appliance cost what I'd put aside for both :eek:

But the breakmaker has a couple of features I think I'll find useful (one not quite as good as on the manufacturers blurb, but I took that into account as many mentions of it on reviews), and I went for what appears to be a 'top of the range' slice as many of the cheaper ones have bad reviews about cleaning (a bug bear of friends who've owned in the past) or plastic bodywork cracking ('mine' appears to be mostly metal and has a larger blade - plus two additional blades, one of which is specifically for cheese so I'm hoping that will reduce how much I use on butties which will reduce cost and calories ).
