  • Hope everyone has had a brilliant Christmas :xmassign::xmastree:

    I've been enjoying the fetivities so haven't been on here for a few days. I have been collecting NSDs though. Sunday - Weds have all been no spend days taking me to 16 so far this month - it's going to be a struggle but my target is still possible this month!
    No more buying books Books in 2016 = 20.
    Target for 2018 = 7/21
    No more buying DVDs ? 2018 target 27/52

    We had the dustmen AND recycling lorries round yesterday morning :eek: Suppose with a five-day week anyway losing two days out of it makes things a bit tight, but I'm pretty certain it's the first year they've done it...
    We'd had notification, I'd put it 'safe', then muvva decides it's rubbish & throws it in the recycling--all before I'd had a chance to read it properly :doh:

    It's scary windy this morning &not of the sprout variety either cuz they were vile this time; guess the weather hasn't helped, but other than that crimbly lunch was fine. I conncocted a dessert of homemade pancakes filled with dried fruit that I'd soaked in black tea overnight, then warmed thru before serving. We had four types of cream to choose from & two of them had booze in, or I would have done the fruit in port or something...completely made it up but yumyum pig's arris :D a definite winner!
    hanging-boxing-gloves-smiley-emoticon.gif Day was scrummy cold meat & pickles, with probably my best-yet acned ricky for us & jam rolypoly for Pooch :T so I'm very pleased to announce 19 & 20 were my crimbly prezzies to myself & I have reached target party-dude-smiley-emoticon.gif
    Let me think :think:...Thursday isn't it...will have to get spuds & bread & stuff tomorrow....oh go on. Put me down for another 4 please :cool:


    Hope you're faring better than MrPartyman downstairs from muvva; one can confirm he's well & truly lost his party spirits this morning _pale_ (I do wish they would sound-proof the bathroom at the very least) He'll get no sympathy from me, especially if he was the twassock who was shouting the odds over some idiotic footballer at 2 this morning :mad: I am not a party pooper but when said neighbours tend to 'celebrate' on a fairly regular basis,
    make loathsome drunks, & leave poor doggies to whine day &/or night as it suits them, it's a totally different story. When she's sober she can be quite pleasant but to be fair, he's the sort you avoid in bright sunlight let alone a dark alley :rotfl:

    Morning everyone :wave:

    Hope you've all had a lovely Christmas.

    Just popping in quickly to declare NSDs 19 and 20 and my second target met, yay:j:j:j

    Please could I increase my target to 25 freeby. I don't intend to spend anything more for the rest of the month to make up for my appalling start:o:o and the dreaded tax bill to be paid in January:(:(


    Off to work now but I'll catch up with everyone later today.

    Hope you all have a good day x
    :) The time you enjoy wasting is not wasted time :)
