Comments

Not an NSD on Saturday as i bought some fruit for work next week, a joint to slice up and freeze for sandwiches, some fish and chips followed by icecream. Then i took enough money out of my savings to pay my credit card off in full. I am no longer going to use it. Today however, is NSD 11!0

organisingmylife - don't worry, honestly it's a real eye opener when you start to count the NSDs and realise that you spend on way more days than you would think - even if it's just 20p some days! The good thing is that you're keeping track of them now and, however many you manage this month .... try for one more next .... and another the next .... soon you'll be hitting great numbers:)
None for me today .... took Maisie to the further away woods / beach as ...... wait for it ..... are you sitting down ....... the sun was out today :j:j:j - realised when I was there that I was only a mile or so away from the petrol station, so seemed silly not to fill up as I would've had to go mid week - saved an 18 mile round trip :money:

Yes I have, bed linen just been ordered.
Beanie, you're right - life is too short to worry at times (yes, I can be a [STRIKE]wee[/STRIKE] big worry-wart) I guess that's something we should learn from Mr & Mrs 3Dogs. Thank you for giving me a nudge, I need it sometimes. x
this is the one I ordered

btw, pleased to now announce ironing done and lunches made for tomorrow. I'm really not good at this sitting down malarky am I? btw, lasagne turned out rather yummy even if I do say so myself. I've been doing so much cooking lately I'm running out of tubs to freeze leftovers / spare portions in :eek:Feb 2015 NSD Challenge 8/12JAN NSD 11/16

kerri~ i am the worlds biggest worrier.
But Mr 3 dogs and an old friend whose funeral was the same day(only 2 years older than me & 3 boys) has put me in a life is too short frame of mind for the moment at least.
Than & being 50 soon :eek: I think.

Thanks for your great update Spoony.NSD no 12 for me today.Really trying to eat well as really really want to see a weight loss on the scales this week.I think its a bit of an aversion I have to the possibility of being electrocuted, something to do with a minor incident in our previous flat where our washing machine threw me across (albeit a small) kitchen due to condensation in the plug socket :eek:
Yep I too have flowering weeds they look quite pretty so Ive left them. Monty Don said on Gardeners World the other week that he was leaving an area for wild flowers, thats my excuse and I am sticking to it!!
Woohoooo.... that's a great excuse Pips Mum, I shall use that from now on - I have a wild flower meadow:DAnybody else think this month seems to have flown?
Tooth loads better thanks really glad I had it pulled TBH.
I know the feeling about weedy gardens, we have some huge ones in ours, really do need to do something other than just giving them nasty looks in the hope that will make them wither
I soooo wish that worked
kerri - I agree with beanie re the bed linen. Life is definitely too short to pass on something you really want if you can afford it. Love it btw, very classy
rising - very organised and pleased you managed to go further afield with Maise today
marmite - fab update, thank youThe time you enjoy wasting is not wasted time
