The Mad March NSD Challenge

Listen, guys, just tuck in - but don't tell Igor I sent out for a massive Indian, Chinese and Pizza takeaway......the shamrock salad can go in the compost bin when he's not looking, and the potato pavlovas in the food waste bin, the binmen come tomorrow so there won't be time for it to fester and explode like last time....
Sorry the police showed up and took away the Randy Dandy Screaming Leprechauns just as they were getting into their rock and roll set, but Igor has a cunning plan.....Hubert and Igor with their fine display of Irish dancing. In wellies. With a plate of Irish stew balanced on their heads and a pint of Guinness in each hand.
I see BigMumma flat out again, she still hasn't learned not to try and lick out the cauldron after Igor's been brewing in it.......and I suppose Igor has progressed a little - his cheesy pineapples are no longer on tree branches but on broomsticks. Whole pineapples. And all dyed green in honour of St Paddy's Day.....didn't know we had some green food colouring Igor? We don't? Well what's that you used then?
Oh my gawd!!!! DON'T EAT THE CHEESY PINEAPPLES!!!!!One life - your life - live it!0 -

Well can't really claim a NSD here as I did order that necklace for DM - hope she likes it.
Otherwise a quiet day pottering about. Sewed some thermal lining into some mittens I have (the fingerless flip top ones) - need to find some hand bits now but getting there. Also altered some joggers that were about 3" too long so I can now wear them without having to try and turn them up inside. Do like days like this although they always seem to go too quickly.
What's that Igor? errr, no thanks, I'll pass on the punch if it's all the same to you, I need to be up for boot camp at 6am tomorrow and last time I had some of your home brew I lost a whole week :eek: (Nargle, when he's not looking can you pass me a slice of that pizza please - ta muchly)Feb 2015 NSD Challenge 8/12JAN NSD 11/16

NSD#6 today - safe to say that 20 is definately not a realistic target for me! I think 10-15 would of been better!!!!

No, Igor! Don't give Hubert any more of your Guinness punch, not if you want him to do Irish dancing in wellies.....it will only stir things up, if you know what I mean.....and I don't know who is supposed to be on the roster for nappy changing this week, but whoever it is must have been bad in a previous life......whaddya mean, "she's done a runner!" ?? So whose turn is it next?
(Errr, mine? AGAIN??? Hubert, come here sweetie......on second thoughts, wait till I get my swamp boots and radiation suit on...)One life - your life - live it!0 -

NSD11 for me today!
I woke up to snow this morning, and got about an inch before it stopped and then melted pretty quickly. It was all gone by mid-afternoon, much to my relief! I didn't much fancy the journey to work in the snow!
Had a PJ day today, which was lovely! Did some washing, made up 2 weeks worth of sandwiches for the freezer (some people think I'm wierd for doing that, but my weekday evenings are too short and precious to waste them on making lunches - and the sarnies taste absolutely fine, even after a 2 week freeze!).
Then spent the rest of the day on the sofa watching DVDs!Because it's fun to have money!

They are a lot to do with forward planning.
You could put them aside & then not count them.

Well, today wasn't an NSD in spectacular fashion - I've yet to manage a 'cheap' trip to Costc0 :eek: But at least I didn't reach 3 figures this time, and just over £6 of it will come back from DD when I next see her(OH was well over 3 figures, so I guess I got away lightly today really
)
Still need to pick up some fresh veg (and some bread unless I put my machine on again), so checked my bank account to see when my next D/Debit is due out intending to shop on that day. But I don't think I can hold out until 27th !!! So if I can drag myself to the gym tomorrow morning I'll probably hit Mr T while I'm on the complex, which means I won't get my next NSD until TuesdayCheryl0
