  • Morning,

    Haven't been on for a while but have managed to tot up 5 NSD's so far. xx
  • :o I think I may have mentioned that before I had the dog .... I shopped. Errrrr.... well ..... gulp .....:eek:

    Went to the big Mr A as I really needed a new pair of jeans... my last - and only - pair (which I've had many, many, many years & paid £4 for ;)) had to finally be retired a while ago (patches had patches IYKWIM:rotfl:).

    We have a "dress down" day at work each Friday and as I'm down to 2 pairs of "non-working" trousers (both ancient & 1 with a whole in:o), I decided the time had come (also have a night out in May and really did have nothing I could get away with wearing) ..... only I bought 2 pairs:eek: (£14 and £10).

    But I then also bought 2 smart / casual tops (which will also do dress down day / visiting friends) - both were £10 reduced to £5 :), as well as a gorgeous T-shirt (£8) which will do for my night out in May:).

    So... £42 in total but feel I did get a lot for that so not all bad! (more than I spent on clothes in 2011 in total!:p).

    Stocked up with cat litter whilst there, couple of bits of veg which were Whoopsied but then had to get liquid gold on the way out ..... then stopped at Li*dl on the way home - but did get a stand pump for £5.99 so hoping I'll be able to fix my bike, which has had a flat tyre for around 6 months:o - another £16 spent there.

    Not leaving the house again today;) - luckily it's lovely and sunny so will go and sit in the garden for a while.

    Hope you're having a good day:)

    Yesterday took me up to 8/12 NSD's

    Today sadly not. Not having many this week at all to be honest, but I've got another week before March is over so all is ok.

    Thanks :) honestly most of my stuff is so old it's ridiculous .... I am getting to the stage of having to replace stuff (I do believe I still wear one pair of trousers and at least 3 t-shirts that I can remember having when I still lived @ home .... that's nearly 20 years ago :o)

    Was speaking to one of my neighbours earlier and he'd got sunburnt on the bald bit on top of his head yesterday!

    Right ... must get on - DM visiting tomorrow and the house is a tip:o. Going to see the Pandas :D

    Hi all, had an unexpected nsd yesterday, DD paid for my bread:A. Didn't get my bacon sarnie till today though, had ham instead last night. I love Ald!'s meat products!
    Today has turned out to be non-spending too so that's NSD's 11 & 12.

    Beanie, I have no words that could help for your link. Only a deep felt sorrow. :sad:

    Many hugs to all who are desperate or in need.
