  • It will be a spendy day today though, gotta get the weekly shop and fill the car up with liquid gold :eek: I seem to be spending more on fuel than anything else these days :mad:

    Sounds like my day Freeby ...... had a bit of a disaster as couldn't get fuel flap open (has always been errrr difficult) and after much time spent with a bit of card eventually managed it. Went to bend the hinge that opens the flap (have to do this everytime I fill up:mad:) and discovered that the top bit had broken :eek: - so seriously thinking that it will snap altogether now.

    Will have to phone the garage on Mon as no idea how to get it open once the hinge is totally broken :eek: - bit worrying as can't get to the garage next week and I will need more fuel before next weekend:eek::eek: and just for good measure :eek::o

    Good Morning,
    Sorry it's late this morning. Had a bit of trouble getting out of bed, for some reason I just wanted to sleep all morning which is not like me at all.


    Well done to everyone who captured another NSD

    Donna dynamo – NSD #9 all done and dusted. :T Hope you get your mojo back soon.:)

    Emsloves- Woo Hoo NSD #10 and target reached. :j:j Well done. :T I’ve increased your target to 13. Good Luck. :)

    Ifwishes – Well done on NSD #11. :T Keep going, not many more now. :)

    Kerri gt – An excellent NSD #10 for you.:T The Shred dvd is by Jillian Michaels from the Biggest Loser (USA) now that woman IS a machine who likes to inflict pain on poor unsuspecting dvd watchers. :mad:

    Ladymay – Well done for NSD #7. :T Hope you feel okay today and the sore throat didn’t come to anything.:)

    Learning2 – NSD #7 for you. :T That’s brilliant. Hope you manage lots more. :)

    Nargle – Well done for NSD #6. :T Poor Igor, he does seems to attract trouble doesn’t he???? :rotfl:

    Stripeygirl – Well done for bagging those 2 NSDs and getting up to NSD #11. :j:j Your target has been increased to 14. :)



    And hello to
    Frodobaggins – Everyone needs a treat now and again. Life is for living after all. :)

    Hedgesparrow – This challenge is brilliant at helping you to focus on where your money goes and exactly how often we open our wallets.:o Good luck capturing some more NSDs.:)

    Rising – Have some more :eek::eek: ‘s. I feel your pain, I took DD1’s old banger yesterday for fuel and as she has just been given it for her 18th it was the first time I’ve put fuel in it, I couldn’t get the cap open and had to call on the services of a passing man, typically he did it in about 2 seconds.:o:o

    Good Morning :)

    As predicted I had a spendy old day yesterday and then couldn't sleep last night for worrying about it :o Eventually I got up to look at my spreadsheets etc just to put my mind at rest that I was still okay and I could afford it. :)

    I thought my restless nights over money were gone :mad:



    Have a great Sunday x x
