    Thank you marmite for the brilliant update :A

    The pleasure's mine freeby!:)

    Just a quick stop here.Spendy day yesterday,unplanned but budgeted for buys which will be Christmas presents (and two out of three at sale price,the non-sale item a bag that'll suit my DM to a T I think).Then I blew a third of my week's food budget on a pair of earrings for myself.:o Definitely a 'want' there...They were in the sale too though.:)

    So the next few days will be lean ones,but I don't need anything food-wise until maybe Monday.

    Oh and today is #15 and target reached!:j:j

    Can I raise my target to 18 please freeby?

    Evening all - no NSD here today I'm afraid. Picked up some 'essentials' in Mr S (ok some weren't exactly essential but I don't shop in there often to took advantage of bits I can't or don't normally get elsewhere) plus some flowers to go with a friend's b'day present tomorrow. Also got OH aunt a b'day card and stock up on the 7 for £1 ones in Card Fact0ry at the same time as they had some new designs - now I just need to remember who i sent what to last year :eek:

    Going past big tacto tomorrow and they have the smoothies OH likes on offer so can't promise a NSD. On the upside, I've stayed away from the internet shopping today so that's progress this month :o:o

    Evening

    I've not been on here since Sunday but had a lovely afternoon with my family.

    Another super busy week at work and am really starting to feel the strain. I cannot wait for the long Easter weekend just to have a break from it all.

    Have had work related expenses again this week meaning I have not clocked up any NSDs at all so far so am still stuck at 10. As Monday was a spend day, decided to go out for dinner to save me cooking - half price at the pub so not expensive but wouldn't have gone out if I hadn't spent money at work :mad:

    I am slightly concerned that the item I sold on e-B*y and posted on Monday has not yet been received by the buyer. :eek: I have another bid on one of the items I listed over the weekend so can't afford any hassles or negative feedback. I hope it gets delivered tomorrow.

    Am going to have an early night (like in a minute :D because I'm shattered) and catch up on the last few pages.

    It's still so cold here and it rained earlier. When is spring going to come? We've not really had any decent weather since a drought was declared by the water companies last year. :mad:

    Sorry for the whinge.

    Hope everyone is well.

    I get help with the cost of specs.
    Do you think there is such a thing as totally free glasses?
