    No NSD for today though, as I had to buy liquid gold:mad:.
    I hope everyone is well, as I haven't yet had a chance to catch up on the posts.:)
    If you've nothing decent to say, perhaps you shouldn't say anything.

    £2 savings jar £300:D
    Total credit card debts £1250:mad::mad::mad::mad::mad: - Will I ever learn!!

    Oops!

    No NSD today - I realised I had no other time to get my shopping done. On the upside Mr T has 3 for 2 on all moisturisers and other beauty stuff so got loads in :D Needed eye cream and new day cream anyway - eye cream because I'd run out, day cream because I've suddenly become allergic to my old one :( Had no idea that could even happen!

    No NSD for me, needed conditioner, finally chose some in S'Drug (anyone else find choosing a conditioner a chore - too much bloomin choice!) thought it was about £2.70 on SEL, went through at £1.15 :j seems to be a posh range they might be discontinuing.

    Also picked up a few food bits in Sainsbobs - tonight matthew I have managed to make veggy curry (incl a bit of leftover lamb :rotfl:) and oatcakes - incl some with some danish blue mixed in. OH has just walked out of the kitchen commenting 'cor it stinks in here' :o never made oatcakes before and had a bit of a mare with the curry as I slightly overfried the onions then couldn't remember how much curry powder to put in (might have slightly overdone it on the 'just a touch more' but sure it's nothing a bit of youghurt au naturale can't resolve) Oh, and had to use chickpeas instead of lentils as I didn't have any :rotfl:

    bloomin pooped, cooking doesn't seem so hard when nigella wafts into the kitchen at midnight in her silky nighty to whip something up :eek:

    Hello there you busy non spenders :wave:
    I hope everyone is fine and dandy today.
    Can I please be put down for 12 NSDs this month?
    Sorry that I am a bit late declaring.
    I have achieved my first (no. #1) today and I shall try again for one on Friday :)
    Its a shame they are not coming easily at the moment, but then if it was easy there would be no point I suppose :)
    Don't turn a slip up into a give up:D
