  • Not an NSD yesterday as i unexpectedly had to do a longer shift at work (13 hours) and i had not brought any food with me.
  • You are an :A

    You are very welcome. I don't think people realise the amount of work that goes into this thread every month by a just a few :A's. You deserve the time off.

    You are all :A - having done the odd update I can say it's not easy!

    There's also a lot more people around on the thread that I remember in previous years - and, whilst that's great .... it does make it even harder for the updaters.

    I'm not sure what to suggest for January - those of us who've been around a while will know there's always a huge influx of newbies ... again, great but ....

    Looking at the length of the updates just now - I personally feel (and I've not been doing them!) that it must be a bit of a chore for the updaters ... and that's not how it should be.

    I'm wondering (and no offense to anyone) whether NinjaSavingKat's NSDers could report / keep track of their NSDs on that thread - I know Kat is intending to run a new challenge in January and there's a different set of "rules" for NSDs in that Challenge? (as some people do with their NSDs as part of the Grocery Challenge on the OS board)
    Grocery Challenge £211/£455 (01/01-31/03)
    2016 Sell: £125/£250
    £1,000 Emergency Fund Challenge #78 £3.96 / £1,000
    Vet Fund: £410.93 / £1,000
    Debt free & determined to stay that way!

    I immediately started humming their version of Step On You cheerful-dancing-baby-smiley-emoticon.gif ..thanks x Not 'heard' that for yonks, & a cover I actually like!

    Been trying to do an "If" to find a suitable graphic but it's all too huh-smiley-emoticon.gif for my (very :o ) limited IT skills--I doff my hat to you & endeavour to learn at your besocked feet oh Mighty If *whips orf hairnet & takes spex with it*--so will just say it instead.

    Cooked up my Baker's Dozen yesterday, so 13 of those pesky little blighters are present & accounted for :D
