    Nargle, thank you, that is just the loveliest thought!! I definitely thought of all you guys today, when i felt myself wobble & think i managed to get through it better than i expected, just a waiting game now....

    Just treated myself to sausage & mash & a big glass of red as a reward & very lovely it was too!! Don't think i'll be late out of bed tonight, all this stress is very tiring!!

    think you more than deserved that BDINI - we're all behind you xx

    NSD #8 for me today, list getting more sorted with the xmas stuff so might try and pick up someof that at the weekend and watching a few bits on fleabay. Do need (honestly) to purchase some bits for my next showcase outfit and not much time left so going to have to do that tomorrow. Still won't leave me much time to make alterations, or have a back up if it turns out awful :eek: oh well, thankgoodness for the halloween theme, at least it gives some leaway :rotfl:

    Sorry, a late one here NSD 6, and two in a row!

    Ok, so two in a row is not so great, but it's a step forward for me!

    I too need to rejig things - I think a tenner milk, bread and veg envelope on the pinboard is needed, alongside a dinner money and bus fare envelope!
    Trying to keep in budget.

    Wow, sounds exciting, is it a pole showcase?

    Have to just share this funny moment with you all.... dozing on the sofa when there is a knock on the front door... after nearly pooing myself as no one knocks on my door at this time of night i answer to find the bloke across the road pointing at an enormous trampoline in the middle of the road asking "is this yours?"
    Do i look like the sort of person that jumps around in the middle of the night in my Pj's on a trampoline????? i ask myself :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:
    Still not sure why he thought he should knock on my door, but feel a call to the council may be in order in the morning, as not sure how anyone will get their cars out round the monstrosity....

    Is it wrong that my first thought was "where can i hide it till the next free listing weekend"??????

    ....
    Big Mumma -- luuuurrvvve the costume, sweetie, but do leave the deckchair at home this time, will you? We want to keep the Ennessdee Towers ballroom floor clear for lots and lots of Halloween dancing, although I have still to organise the band..... No, Igor, you can't have The Good Ole Boys back, remember the harvest hoedown fiasco? When they thought they had been booked to do their drag queen cabaret act, their false eyelashes ended up in the gravy and Hubert ended up nearly crippling himself wearing their stilettos....
    But..but..but..it's not just a chair..Dickie is my dance partner too :( Don't you recall the L Viss impression at cw's run, when the pedestrian barriers put the idea of prison bars into his head?

    And I'm sorry? WHAT harvest hoedown would that have been? I certainly don't recal....oh..mmm...:think: ..ah!...would that have been the one where Spoony did that thing she does with the spare bath plug & a bottle of tennis shoe whitener while Kerry plays show tunes on the loofah..only this time the kilts got caught in the over-flow?...Uuuoohhhh *buries head in hands & starts rocking rythmically*
    Pleeeeze! No more crab-apple cocktails! I'm still trying to find homes for 2 lobsters & a king prawn *folds arms & lowers head while wailing into sleeve of winceyette nightie*

    On a brighter note--A sharp minor is a goodun--I got no17 today :T & I can say that now, cuz the only place I'm going is to The Land of Nod :p

  • NSD 10 & 11 crept in quietly yesterday and Sunday:beer::beer::beer:

    After the manic going to Drayton Manor on Saturday and the very small spends of £20 (including a xmas pressie) I'm so relieved to have some quiet nsd days planned.

    Also that means that my target is reached and exceeded !!!!!! I'm so excited!!!! Hopefully I will celebrate with another NSD today!!!:rotfl:

    Argh! I've been busy and running around like a headless chicken and I think I lost count! I definitely had two more NSDs last week and this week I definitely had yesterday although today won't count. I may have had one or two more last week but I can't remember won't include them as I can't be sure.

    *Edits* For the count: NSDs 9, 10, 11. *Runs off again*

    I am up to 10 NSDs now. The easiest way for me not to spend has been for me to stay at home and keep away from the internet temptations. DS3 had my laptop for a few days and it has definitely curtailed my spending.
