Hello lovely NSD-ers :wave:

Well I know I haven't been in to say hello since Tuesday but ..... 13 pages :eek::eek: boy you lot certainly know how to talk:D:D.. and rack up the NSDs. Well done everyone, we're definitely going for the record this month :j:j:j:j

Sorry for my absence, my PC decided to die on Monday:(, luckily it wasn't terminal (sorry about the pun:o:o) and some open heart surgery cured her... yes my PC has a name and is definitely female:D so I'm back at last:j:j

I have read through all the posts since Tuesday and have picked out some I wanted to comment on.

First of all...

BDINI - I'm sooooooooooooooo pleased for you:j:j:j:j Like freeby I have a massive grin on my face and would love to be a fly on the wall on Monday when you tell that idiot where to stick his job... And you are definitely not in the wrong for gloating about the (lack of) promotion for him, what goes around definitely comes around and I really hope the action you took against him will blight any future prospects he has. I hope you enjoy your last three weeks there and spend the time walking around with a huge grin on your face... that would really serve them right.

WantToBeSe - and congratulations to you on your new job. I'm really pleased for you, well done:j:j:j:j Hope you manage to get something sorted for the rest of your hours x

flubberyz - fingers crossed that something comes up for you from the letters you sent to the schools. Good luck x

ETO - yay to hubby arriving home early, that must have been a lovely surprise for you. Happy decorating x

Florida2013 - sorry to hear that you've hurt your back and I hope you're on the mend soon x

Candlewick - now now... you've done really well making it to 19 days of no smoking, don't fall by the wayside now. You can do it, hang on in there hun x

JellyBiactol - I'm thoiling, honest:rotfl::rotfl: What a brilliant word, I love it

Red - great to hear that your mum is making good progress, that must be a relief to you all x

PennySaving - hi and welcome to the madhouse that is the NSD challenge. I hope you enjoy it and it helps you to organise your finances and life better. Pop in as often as you want to catch up with us all though I have to say that we're often as mad as a box of frogs but mainly tame and house-trained:D

MummyR - love the Julie Walters clip:rotfl::rotfl: and thanks for the link to the hearts, I might have to get my knitting needles out

(((((hugs))))) to anyone who's under the weather, especially beanie :A. Hope you feel better soon hun x
And finally....... another massive THANK YOU to freeby for all of your hard work, you're a :starmod:

And finally, finally....... I'm now up to NSD no 16 yay :j:j:j:j

Stay safe and warm everyone, it's not nice out there at the moment... and I don't just mean the weather unfortunately


I'll be back tomorrow with the update so will catch up with you all then

Hello all

A very late visit from me to declare another 2 NSDs (one for Friday and the other for today) taking my total to 12. Yesterday we had quite a bit of snow so just to work and back and it's still lying today so stayed home.

Have been feeling very optimistic that when then end of the month comes I will have money left over (due to my NSD's) but then this morning my heating packed up! Luckily we have electric radiators we can use as the heating engineer can't come until Monday :eek: but I'm thinking my spare cash is no longer spare Oh well in one hand and out the other as they say.

Enjoy the rest of the weekend , keep posting

Well done for all those lovely NSDs Helsbels but what a bummer about the heating, it couldn't happen at a worse time:(:( Hope the engineer manages to sort it out for you on Monday x

MummyR Thanks for that clip, it is sooo funny and I had forgotten all about it :rotfl:


Just taking my own advice and reporting NSD 10, and hoping for another tomorrow since I'm now going into cover for someone who is sick, oh no that doesn't work, need to buy Guinea pigs veg for next week, it'll be a spendie...never mind.

Spooney that's a mega read since Tuesday, we've clocked up a good few pages

Good morning folks,

From a still snowbound NI:eek:. I will be leaving shortly to go and visit my parents, although the journey will take an extra 45 minutes due to the snow:(. I am going to Scotland first thing tomorrow morning, so will be in touch upon my return. I hope everyone is well this cold and frosty morning and staying warm:). Hugs to anyone who needs them.
Spoony, thank you for the good wishes about my Mother:). Yes, I was very worried at one stage, that she had just given up, but things seem to be on the mend, so it is all good. I hope you are well:)
