  • I've been AWOL for about a week as I went to do some shopping & slipped on black ice & smashed my wrist to bits. So I was whisked off to hospital & I've been in and out ever since with an op to stick me back together. To say I'm fed up is an understatement! :-(


    Anyway bagged a few more NSDs but it would have been an extra 3 if I hadn't had to pay for a prescription & car parking at the hospital. Thankfully my second lot of painkillers were handed to me so no prescription to pay for.


    5 more NSDs to add taking me to a total of 21 exceeding my second target by 3.

    See you all over in February's thread! :-)

    Hi and well done peeps! Reporting in at 23 NSD I don't know how I managed and the fact I had the flu for a week helped my total (though not to be recommended) but I finally did it - yay!
