    Thriftylass - Hubert was already a resident of NSD Towers when I joined this thread a couple of years ago or so, so I don't know his exact history. He is a tame donkey who eats everything in sight, is rather partial to swanning around in high heels when he's had a few, and he lives in NSD Towers apart from when he's on his holidays tethered up in Bdini's back passage.

    Oh, and his mother didn't do a very good job in potty training him, so the Pampers bill in NSD Towers is astronomical.

    Hope this makes things a bit clearer.
    Now you started, who is Hubert? :)

    I bet you're really glad you asked now, thriftylass :rotfl::rotfl:
    :) The time you enjoy wasting is not wasted time :)

  • I'm self declaring a NSD 1 today. You might think otherwise!!! I had to buy rabbit food this morning, as my bunny is still not eating properly, and I'm desperately trying to find something that will tempt her into eating a full bowl of food and put some weight back on. So under the cirumstances, I'm not really counting this, in the same way I wouldn't count it if I had to buy medication for me or my daughter.
    I did resist buying anything other that the food though, not a coffee in town, not a choc bar, nothing :T very unlike me, especially considering I spent the entire morning and half the afternoon walking home 3 miles from the school run, pootling round a city centre sorting out odds and sods, and took a bus out to a huge out-of-town retail-park (for the pet-shop)

    In our house, when things break, we just pretend they still work
  • Not one for me today due to buying something on @mazon.:mad:

    Very happy with my purchases though,decided it couldn't wait!:D

    HiddenIdentity hope you're ok,maybe take it easy for a few days.:grouphug:

    Chopinonabudget hope bunny's on the mend soon.

    Well done everyone who got an nsd today!:j:j
  • thanks, marmiterules :D I appreciate that :)
    Better luck with your next NSD!!
