    :rotfl:I do actually have doggy boots :rotfl: - they're only used if they cut a paw to keep it dry / clean or if the weather's awful & there's loads of salt on the roads / pavements as this really wreaks their feet

    Well maybe I wasn't quite so stupid then rising:rotfl:
    No we don't do it but it seems like a good idea. :A It shouldn't be too much of a problem or take too much time :)

    What does everyone else think? Would you like to see a total NSDs collected?

    Sounds like a good idea freeby it might spur us on to try to increase the overall total each month. Happy to help out if anyone else thinks it's a good idea x

    Apologies if the spelling looks a bit suspect today (or more dodgy than usual then :D ) but I've got a very watery eye. It felt like I had a stye coming on my right lid but thankfully it's quietened down, but my left eye is like a wonky tap :o Probably explains why I want to sleep--I'm a knock-kneed kanackard old nose-bag :rotfl: Now I've recalled the phrase, it's going to be an annoyance till I remember who said it :angry: ..oh why do I do these things lonely-smiley-emoticon.gif Drive The Offspring nuts when we're watching films & stuff; I keep saying 'wot's ee bin in' & 'wasn't there another one like this' or the real troublemaker is 'not as good as the original'...haven't quite got to "iiin mmyy dayyyy" but it's getting closer :whistle:

    The rain rained & the wind winded so we had a blitz on those bits you put to one side to 'do later' & I found two little ducks *wack-wack* nesting in last week's local rag & letters from pals I ought to reply to :p

  • Morning all:D bit chilly here but at least it's dry

    Don't think it'll be one for me .... think we'll try the beach today (you have no idea how muddy Maisie managed to get yesterday :eek:) as just finished a mammoth dog towel / bedding wash!;)

    Will prob pop into Mr T while there - only need Milk, Crumpets, sliced meat & a bag of salad ... let's see if I can stick to that!:o

    Will prob top up fuel while there too as will be going to DMs on NY Day and have a bit of a thing about using unmanned pumps when the shop's closed (just in case!) - feel a bit sneeky doing that tho' as it will be used next year but out of this years' budget!:cool:

  • Hi guys!

    Clocked up another NSD yesterday, taking me up to 17.

    Not today though, as had to go into town to return a library book, so used the opportunity to buy some vitamins and some new earplugs... (charming upstairs neighbour playing thud-thud music until 2am! This morning I taped a "firmly-worded" note to their door!)

    Oh, forgot to declare that I also achieved my 3-in-a-row over christmas!
    Because it's fun to have money!

    Afternoon all. Well had a lovely evening out last night with friends who have recently moved back to the area. Went out for dinner but they treated us in return for a meal OH took us all out for some time ago, and OH helping them to move house recently. Ordered something different to what I'd usually have off the menu and thoroughly enjoyed it. One of our friends was driving and also took us home after a couple of drinks at theirs (soft drinks for the driver obviously).

    OH did buy a round of drinks in the pub before dinner and I've offered him some pennies but that but he said not to worry - so NSD #13 clocked up :beer: Kind of feel i'm cheating a little as I'm sure I will give him the pennies in due course but at the moment I'll go with the NSD :o

    Got a few watchers on a couple of the items I put on fleabay yesterday, and a couple of bids on one item already so quite pleased about that (not earth shattering amounts but all pennies in the pot) No plans to go out today but might order some of OH b'day present online - now does that count as a spend or not :think:
