    Good morning folks from a cold and wet NI,

    I hope everyone is well and keeping warm, as I know snow is predicted for the weekend. I had NSDs 1 & 2 on Thursday and Friday. Today should be an NSD, but not totally sure, as I may go out later. I hope everyone has a lovely weekend.
    If you've nothing decent to say, perhaps you shouldn't say anything.

  • As spoon promised (or threatened) I am doing the updates this weekend. :eek::eek: Please be gentle with me, it’s my first one
    The NSD’s are rolling in and everyone seems to be having a determined February
    Rising – Did you get tyres? Well done for NSD 1 though :j

    Well that's my update. I really hope I haven't missed anyone - it's a lot blimmin harder than it looks. I'll get better I promise.
    Have afantastic day everyone x x

    Wow Freeby .... mammoth update for your 1st one!:T A huge "thank you" to you (and Spoon, BDIDI, LMH) as I love the updates - I do read every single one, usually chuckling and have no idea how you all manage it!:T

    I did eventually find some tyres last night - good quality ones and have managed to get a slight discount by ordering them online before going to the fitters ;).

    Will be heading off there shortly as I really want to get them done in case the forecasted snow:eek: hits - so will be a spendy day today .... and another tomorrow:o

    Stay safe and warm everyone and have a lovely weekend:)

  • Good Morning,
    As spoon promised (or threatened) I am doing the updates this weekend. :eek::eek: Please be gentle with me, it’s my first one
    And it was perfect, thank you - you are an update artiste! :D

    KnittyNora – As much as it pains me to write this :mad:, bloomin’ well done for NSD 3 . Sleep with one eye open though, I’m right behind you :rotfl:
    Ummm...why are you in my bed??!! :eek:
    Well that's my update. I really hope I haven't missed anyone - it's a lot blimmin harder than it looks. I'll get better I promise.
    No need to get better - it was fab! *sigh* the F word may not be allowed on this thread, but you Thread Management Angels (:A) don't half bash yourselfs around a bit! Total horse dung - you're all, Spoon, If, BDINI, LMH and you, Missus (plus anyone else I've forgotten) wonderful people and so generous with your time, and your organisational talent and humour.

    Now, repeat after me...there will be no Freeby bashing on this thread *unless done by Missus Knitty*:D
    And after all that I forgot to declare that I bagged NSD #2 yesterday *creeps up behind missus knitty*
    Now stop that at once! It's not a fair win if you jangle my nerves so much that I have to have a spendy day just to calm them!! :naughty:
    It's all a bit higgledy piggledy on my update isn't it - I'll sort it out for next time - sorry. :o
    No more Freeby-bashing!
  • Good morning everyone! :wave:

    Morning.

    Had my first NSD yesterday, yeay!!

    Need to take girls to hairdressers today, so won't be a NSD today.

    It is great isn't it. I am new to NSDs too.:D
    And it was perfect, thank you - you are an update artiste! :D

    No more Freeby-bashing!

    I would like to second that!

    Thank you Freeby

    This weather, when I am snowed in, can be my biggest temptation to spend, which is why I have set such a strict target. I can only spend on Fridays, I can only spend on Fridays, I can only spend on Fridays. My new mantra.
