    Kerri gt – Happy Payday for yesterday. :T You always sound so organised and in control. I’m in awe. :)

    I'm not sure I am, I do keep little post it notes around my desk, and have a little notepad with me if I am really planning a shop but most of the planning is kept in my rather cluttered brain, then spilled out on here :rotfl:

    Bought cute socks today.
    Sigh.

    Well at least they are cute, could splurge on worse things x

    Well done poohbear on your publication and spreading the word :T

    Mega busy couple of days so been awol from here, Friday was NSD # 12 and day #6 of boot camp, which although tough, I am noticing that I seem to have a quicker recovery time and no longer have to lower my derrier gingerly onto the toilet the day after :D Also rocked out some cracking moves at pole on Thurs so hopefully having a good effect on my strength.

    Today was deff not a NSD, hair appt this morning then hit (wait for it)

    MnS Outlet store, S'Drug, HnM, BnM, New Look, TKMaxx, Primarni, Tacto, A$da and Sainsbobs - phew!

    Didn't spend in all of them, got some great fajita mixes for 10p each in BnM, and some English honey for £1.70-odd (was looking for some as we're out of honey and I wanted to buy british, but other places were all about £4 :eek:) - had to change the jar I was getting as I was just about to put it in a basket when a small child walked past me and sneezed all over my hand and the jar - EUGH!

    Did a great shop in Tacto in order to use the £10 off £80 coupon...only to find it's not valid until 30th April :o Cue lots of stuff being put back. Picked up a few bits in A$da and found one solitary womble which was very soggy - glad I resuced it as it came back at £4.55 :j

    Not sure I'll hit target this month as i've realised stamps go up on Monday and I could do with another book. booger!

    I wishI had bought more stamps.
    Nowhere I can think of locally to get them on a Sunday though.

    Flying – A brilliant NSD #12 for you.:j Excellent.:)

    Igamogam – Another 2 NSDs for you and your target reached. :j:j Woo Hoo. :T Well done, watch out for your prize.:)

    Kerri gt – NSD #12. :T Woo Hoo. :j I have a big shop planned this weekend to use my Mr T coupon but I’m a bit clueless when it comes to coupons and wombles, I should get lessons from you.:)

    Kittikins – NSD #5 :T which is really good and much better than none at all. Well done. :j

    Lamarsi – NSD #15 for you. :j Well done. :T This challenge is brilliant for helping you to focus on all the small silly spends we used to make. :)

    Nargleblast – NSD #10 is brilliant. :j Hope you had some olives with that pilchard margherita, I feel they really bring out the essence of pilchard.:rotfl:

    Poohbear59 – NSD #18 for you :j – brilliant and even more brilliant is that you have been published and NSDs have gone ‘Stateside’ :T:T



    And hello to

    Bottleofred – Good luck for those last few NSDs. :) Get ready for May.:)

    Emslovesmickey – How clever are you making something homemade for a birthday present. :) If I made something it would end up looking like modern art.:rotfl:

    Rising – That scarf is gorgeous and all my favourite colours, :A well worth a NSD for. :)

    I'm back again :p


    I meant to ask on my earlier post that if anyone wants to lend a hand with the NSD thread maybe by doing one (or two) updates a week then please PM me :) Even an occasional update when LMH and I are busy would be very much appreciated. :A

    Thank you x x


    I'm sorry if that sounds a bit cheeky :o

    Awwwww, thanks both :o - really cuffed at how well it turned out.

    This one will be a "keeper" as it's not perfect by any shot (did have to unravel & start again after about 6 inches:o).

    Might be trying another today ;) - currently raining outside!

    Thank you, both you and Rising are angels :A

    I love that you are a counter-upper :rotfl: I think I might take a mosey on over to the PAD thread as I try to pay someone something most days - I like my bank account nice and tidy (OCD :o) I hope they'll have me :)
