  • Well no NSD for me today, there was a chocolate incident :o It was reduced choccie, I thought it would be rude not to! That was my only spend though, so at least I didn't use the 'slip' as an excuse to spend spend spend!

    Jinty hope you enjoyed pilates, I think it's great, you can definitely feel you've worked afterwards!

    Donna, thinking of you and sending virtual hugs.

    Donna - I'm really sorry to hear your news, (((hugs))) to all of you.
    Men find it difficult to talk about their feelings anyway (as a general rule), OH will no doubt be finding this really difficult and probably won't want to talk too much about it. All you can really do is be there for him and the children.

    Take care of yourself as well though

    No NSD for me today :) Been on a little bit of a spending spree.....found a piggy bank I had forgotten about so took some of the money saved in it to get some new boots :) Saved the rest though :A It seems ages since I got myself something just because I felt like it! Anyway, got to go, just a quick visit :wave:

    Good for you LMH, we all deserve a little treat occasionally.

    Hope you're pleased with the boots? :)

    I'm not officially playing this month, but I have so far had 9/10 NSD's this payday month with a week remaining :) I'll play officially next month. Although I'm doing it on a "anything not budgeted for" basis.

    Hi kerri_dfw

    You're welcome to join in officially or unofficially. Well done for your 9 NSDs so far, you're doing brilliantly:T:T

    Look forward to seeing you back next month and if you'd like to join in for the remainder of this month you'll be very welcome :)

  • Donna I am so sorry to hear the sad news. I was in a similar situation a couple of years ago so know how tough it is. Lots of love to you...

    Donna - so sorry to hear your news. I am sure OH is just trying to process everything himself, just be there for him when he needs a hugs x

    Nargle - wow between yours and Igor's breath tonight sounds like we should be sending some electric toothbrushes your way too :rotfl:

    Well not a NSD for me, I ordered OH b'day gifts (his b'day next week) some aftershave (hope it arrives in time :o) and tickets to a gig. Also got his card so thats that all sorted. I also decided to brave the B00ts glitch and came out with 6 health shots, 6 tubs of vitamins, 2 bottles of Sanex shower gel and a No7 eyeliner for the princely sum of 86p :eek: (used a £1 and a £5 MOC too). Now really tempted to go back tomorrow to stock up on a couple of other bits - vits are dated til 2013 or something so can use them by then (and give some out to friends etc)
