Hello everyone
I am declaring 13 NSD/10. This means I've exceeded my target.:j
These were 6,7,9,12,13,17,18,19,20,25,26 and 27 August.
There are 3 reasons for this :-
1 Being off work due to recovering from a Gall Bladder op means that there was less spending opportunities. I've now been diagnosed with a non specific virus which has made me come out in rashes on my shoulder,shoulder blades and back, fortunately it's nowhere near Gall bladder scars.
2 Staying with my Mum for a week after the op.
3 Using a smartphone app as a budgeting tool.
DFFRBS £2,043.50 @0% until April 2014
Virgin £2,522.78 @ 0% until November 2015
Total Debt £4,566.28

Well done on beating your target!I hope you get over the virus very soon.
No spends here today,so that'a no.24 please.0 -
Good evening folks from a yet again wet NI:eek:
Very busy today in work and lots of running around, although on the plus side, NSD18 has been caught and my 2nd target has been reached:)
Yes spoony, this particular spin teacher is very good, but maybe slightly Satanic, although I like it:rotfl:
I started off very, very unfit and yes, while my fitness has improved and the size of my girth has reduced (thankfully), I could still do with losing another 2 stone or so. Mind you, I've already lost loads of weight:). If it wasn't for the weekends wine and crisp consumption, I'd probably be a size 32" waist, although I can't remember ever being a size 32" waist:p.
I hope everyone is well as I haven't yet caught up on the posts.
Suit purchased and open wallet surgery complete for the wedding;)If you've nothing decent to say, perhaps you shouldn't say anything.

What a lovely surprise beanie, that's brilliant.
Re the platinum anniversary card, have a look at the site below. I've used them in the past when looking for a non-standard anniversary card and they deliver really quickly.
Hope this helps x

Yep, I found my brain, eventually, and have been reunited with it so more or less back to normal again:Dbottleofred wrote: »Yes spoony, this particular spin teacher is very good, but maybe slightly Satanic, although I like it:rotfl:
