    DD was moved up to a ward at 7:30pm, and officially visiting is until 8pm for 'Daddy' and 7pm for anyone else. As she's got a room to herself they let us stay until 9pm, but then we were kicked out :( Now back at DDs house waiting for a call to go back, so it looks very unlikely I'll get to share my birthday :(

    But at least I thought to bring my laptop with me, as it means I have 'entertainment' until whenever ;)

  • Sorry I'm really far behind, I have had to skip some pages! Hope everyone is well though :)

    I would like to declare NSD #12 & #13 for Saturday and Sunday, but have had a spendy day today - I usually buy fruit on a Monday for the week. Hopefully a NSD tomorrow, I am desperately trying to eak the petrol out till the end of the week, which I will be v pleased if I can do!

    Night all

    Ok I have not at all weel on this challenge this month but that has been due to some inexpected spenditure etc. I am going to try to finish the month with a purge on this challenge, so hopefully I can manage at least 3 NSD which means I have then done 1/3 of my target. Next month might have to be a bit easier on myself as do have a tendancy to set my standards to high all the time.

    Today should be a spend day - I'd allowed for getting myself a treat, but my car breakdown is also due for payment today (just need to check which card it's gone off/account it's gone out of - they should all have balances to allow it to be paid, but I realised as I got up this morning I wasn't sure which I need to check to make sure it's been paid as I didn't recognise the 'last 4 digits' on my renewal notification!)
    Tracked which account the breakdown cover is due to hit - and it hasn't today

    Due to being 'tied up' with DD I didn't manage a Whoopsies run for treats

    By the time 'Daddy' and I were kicked out of the hosital the car park exit barrier was permanently up - so I didn't have to pay for parking

    We then stopped for some K.F.C. on the way back, but I was treated to that :)

    So today has become a very unexpected NSD - taking me up to #14, which means target 2 met :T

    Think I'll try for a couple more, so can I have a second extended target of #16 please :)
