We Are Decking the Halls with NSDs December Challenge

coolcats

Another spend day here, not doing as well as I thought but I will get better. Its all these things for Christmas I need to keep buying!!!!! A present brought for a good friend, the bag to send it in, and a much needed cake. Expensive but so nice and takes the chocolate and cake urge away for ages. Its been a few months since the last one. I did well in that I went in to coop and put things back, brought nothing in the end as I didn't really need them. Just a shame I'd already brought the other things!!!!

You had a lucky escape there RFTA..I was gunna give you a SHOUT to make sure you were up Hope it goes well & just remember, all the time you're there, you are using their heat & light :money: while you mend :rotfl:

:rotfl:Did my usual trick of not sleeping for fear of sleeping in!

Unfortunately, I've yet to find a way of avoiding a latte when I arrive:o and I then had to have another when I had to wait 40 mins for a prescription 4.5 hours later - choice was a freezing waiting room ... or the cafe

I allow myself £5 for all day hospital appts and I was .... wait for it ... 10p over ..... scuppered for a NSD for 10p! :mad:

I've to go again on Monday :eek:

Was going to try taking a flask but I find coffee doesn't keep that well in it .... has anyone tried with hot chocolate & does it keep for several hours?

I also do the not sleeping thing,which I hate.

As for being 10p over your nsd budget::mad:

With the flask,have you tried heating the inside up first with hot water before pouring in your beverage?

Glad it's not just me Marmite - I'm absolutely shattered now!:o

Will try to stay up for a bit or I'll be up at stupid o'clock again tomorrow:eek:

Flask ... yup - I think it's because I like my coffee made with milk (like a proper latte) and not sure that this keeps that well for several hours?

Not sure what else I could put in tho' (hate coffee with water - urgh!) and not really a huge tea fan.

I might try making some hot choc in the flask tomorrow (usually do this with milk too but more chance of this being OKish with water) and see how long that's OK for.

Hi all

NSD #5 for me today!!! Andddddddd #4 in a row!!! Yay!! Amazed to complete my 4 in a row within the first week!

Extra specially pleased with myself as went out with a friend today; managed to avoid Costa coffee for the first time ever with her AND walked the entire ASDA shop, baby clothes section and all, with £250 in my purse in cash & didn't spend a penny!!!:j:j

Tomorrow is meant to be a spend day, as meeting another friend for coffee if the weather improves. I owe her the coffee as she paid last time, & have a £10 gift voucher for the coffee, but she is bringing her OH :eek: and I don't know the etiquette involved. Do I buy for him too?! I don't know... sigh!

We shall see how I get on. Foodwise, we are good to go for at least another 4-5 days without really even getting creative!:rotfl:

Well done everyone!!!
