    Managed to catch an NSD on Wednesday so up to 4 NSD's but the little b***rs are SO slippery this month - I wont be able to meet my target even if I dont spend anything until May. Slinks away before anyone notices................................. :(
    Small victories - sometimes they are all you can hope for but sometimes they are all you need - be kinder than necessary, for everyone you meet is fighting some kind of battle

    Glad to hear your internet is sorted Rising - funnily (well not actually) enough I have had issues with my transition that I did in Feb (after showing off it was so easy) seems company I moved to didn't follow through with the order to switch my phone calls too...which I only found out when i got a bill for next 3 mths line rental whcih would cost me nearly £20 more :mad: Hopefully will be sorted by next week and have been offered a goodwill gesture off my bill, but took over 1hr of phoning between the two companies before i got an answer from someone actually competant. :mad: sorry rant over.

    On a positive note, NSD # 9 in the bag :j helped that i had boot camp again today, so that's week 1 out of 6 done :beer: actually really enjoyed today, we were indoors as no one fancied being out in the hail so it was more toneing than cardio.

    Not quite sure what the weekend holds right now, trying to sort out some internet returns and unsure about 1 item in particular - which prob means it should go back right?

    Good morning folks,

    Work has been crazy as usual and am also getting some work done at home to the spare room. Thursday was NSD14:D, but yesterday was a spendy due to buying liquid gold and groceries.
    Today is definitely a spendy as I have to pay the plasterer and also going out tonight with friends for dinner:D
    I hope everyone has a fantastic weekend:)
    If you've nothing decent to say, perhaps you shouldn't say anything.

    It's pants isn't it :(..... hopefully things will sort themselves out PDQ as I've been told the order's been cancelled (have asked for written confirmation) but have been told it could be up to 10 working days to get the refund (paid line rental in advance for a year).
