  • NSD 13 today!!
  • Hello all

    It's all getting a bit manic around here even though Christmas presents were finished and wrapped last week!!!

    I have managed another 2 NSD's which now sits me on a grand total of 15 NSD's so far this month. 5 to go, and a couple of guaranteed ones in the bag so hopefully will manage my 20 target without too much difficulty!!!

    Hope everyone is having a great run up to Christmas!!!

    Take care :)

    Good Morning :)

    I am a bit later this morning updating the front page - sorry :o I've been enjoying a lazy morning :)

    Managed NSD #20 and target reached yesterday. I have increased it up to 25 and seeing as I am spending nothing (hopefully) between now and the big day it shouldn't be a problem :)

    Speaking of targets...lots of prizes appearing on the front page. :j Well done everyone :j


    Have a little festive friday wiggle
