A ginormous jump into 2012 with the January NSD challenge

Wow!

Thanks so much for the feedback re Kindles! Lots of sound advice and honest pros and cons - would I expect anything less from my fellow NSD'ers!:T:T
I like the idea of discovering new authors, but feel a bit wobbly about giving up library and bookshops. However, I felt that way when I changed from CDs to IP0D, and now I dont miss tons of CD's hanging around the place at all!

I think I am going to go for it, eventually.;)

Have spent the last few hours decluttering shoes, boots and handbags and they are going on fleabay this afternoon. Any money I make will start the Kindle fund.

Went to C0$tco this morning, bought a tray of chops and 4 new pillows - strange combo but both necessary!:rotfl:

I was supposed to get some groceries in today but I have caught the bug that's going around here and can't stray far from a certain room in my house
So that'll be NSD #12

Evening everyone.
Big spendy day for me today. I had to fuel the car and get the groceries in. I'd gotten the cash out to pay for the shopping yesterday but the fuel I'd forgotten about. I made sure I did all of my required spending today in the hope of getting back into the nsd habit tomorrow. I'd forgotten how much I enjoy pottering around charity shops and bargain hunting, but thankfully I don't have much time to do that these days.

LMH don't forget if you have remote locking on your car it won't work with the battery disconnected, so if you have a key hole in the door you'll have to use that (unless you've got a Ford of course and have to use the key to get under the bonnet).

On the subject of Kindles - I like the sound of them ... once I've got through all the unread books on my bookshelves I might just save up for one ... by which time I should be debt free, so should be able to afford one! :rotfl:

Have a good weekend everyone!

I think I must just be reverting to 90s technophone status! I ditched my ipod as well and went out and bought a CD player and have started rebuilding my CD collection. I miss my CD collection, I like having shelves full of books, CDs, blu-rays etc. So it's not just Kindles that I go against the grain with, but hey, I like to be different!

Thanks to wannbehermit for the reminding me about the remote locking! I do have keyholes so it shouldn't be a problem however I would imagine that I would have spent quite some time panicking that I couldn't unlock my car until I calmed down and twigged I could *actually use the manual key* Gasp! It's a bit like having to get up and switch the tv off isn't ? Just not the done thing hee hee hee

On the subject of kindles, I absolutely adore mine They are perfect for going out and about, holidays etc but in a bath nothing will ever beat a good old fashioned book!

NSD 6 for me please Spent the entire day eating like a horse and studying
