MuffinTops

I did it!!!! NSD 1 for me today!!! I also bought lots of lunch food on Saturday to make sure I bag a few in a row this week!

I'm finally off the starting block!!! Phew!

I did not buy the milk I found some dried milk and made that up it tasted fine in tea. So NSD 3 for me I am really enjoying not spending money. I never thought I would say that. I do need to go shopping tomorrow. Although I have made a list of things I need for the week so I am hoping for some more NSD I think I am addicted. P0lly x

Finally!!!
NSD No 1

Managed it yesterday, if I'm truthfully honest I spend a fiver when I was out drinking last night but that was after midnight.

Sorted out a meal plan for this week so hopefully I should have some more now, not sure I'm going to hit target but it is my first month.

Nargle - dinner sounds yummy, i hope you didn't let Igor anywhere near it!! :rotfl::rotfl:

Freeby - that drink sounds absolutely yummy!! Hope your head is feeling better now?

Number 4 for me today, i have spent a very productive day with the crowbar & a soggy paste brush & now i'm going to treat myself to a glass of wine & a bit of Homelands :beer:

4 NSD's in a row for me last week ( Mon - Thurs ).. attempting to do another 4-5 this week....I must admit the naughty vending machine at work is looking more and more tempting with every NSD that passes...

Hey all, I need a little of your level headed advise....it's my DM b'day next month and I was already thinking of dragging her into the 21st century and getting her an iPad as a joint b'day / xmas gift. Whilst we were away the other week she had a go one one and is now talking about getting one (she won't go out and get one without me so I can easily delay her buying one) BUT...

1) we've bought her 'expensive' gifts in the past like a camera that never got used (now replaced) and a stereo that I have recently set up but she's already forgotten how to use

SO...

I'm torn between getting her the latest iPad as I know it won't be replaced any time soon (if ever) so want her to have the 'best' if she's going to have one, or wondering whether to get her the iPad 2 which is obviously a bit cheaper and would 'do' for her.

I do have some vouchers and discounts to use, so won't be looking to pay full price, and it will be the basic 16GB wireless model.

I guess part of me thinks she always tried to give me the best growing up, and I'm somehow not if I get the iPad 2, but the other part of me says 'the 2 will do everything she needs, the 3 is just extra money that isn't necessary'

Sorry for the waffle, just wondered if anyone had any thoughts?

I would go for the ipad 2 kerri.It wouldent do any harm to give her a few lessons when she has it.
I need to be shown things a few times before I pick it up & maybe your mum is like that?
