    Me again - I'm sorry :o

    Would anyone mind if I started September's thread today? It's still a bit early but I won't have much time through the week to get it up and running.
    I had to double check the date this morning and then sat and stared at it for ages thinking that it couldn't possibly be nearly the end of August already :eek: Where has this year gone??? Washed away with all the rain I suspect :mad:

    Anyway, I'll just bash on with it I think and post the link later. Hope that's okay with you all.

    Hi freeby :wave:
    Of course it's OK, you don't have to ask. I'm also wondering where this year has gone, I think you might be right about the rain :mad:


    BDINI - hope you have a lovely day at the seaside. The bracing sea air should definitely blow those cobwebs away:)



    Well I meant to post last night and forgot again:o to declare that I made my target yesterday, so NSD no 20 in firmly in the bag :j:j:j:j:j:j

    Could I please increase my target to 24 please freeby? :A


    Have a lovely Sunday everyone
    :) The time you enjoy wasting is not wasted time :)

    Good Morning :)
    Kerri gt – Well done on getting NSD #9. :T Good for you for putting the Mr M stuff back, that’s real devotion to saving for you, I’m not sure I would have done it.:o

    Thanks Freeby - I was rather pee'd off at the amount of time I'd spent in store trying to find anyone who could actually check if they had any stock for me, although the people I spoke to were helpful, my frustration was the fact that in this day and age it seems impossible for anyone ot access any kind of data related to goods in deliveries. so i decided i could live without the extra's I'd also picked up. I did pop back in on my way home for a bag of salad and some diced lamb, but only as Ald! didn't have either...and both were on offer :D

    If you've nothing decent to say, perhaps you shouldn't say anything.
