    Hello, hoping for another NSD today but hitting the road now for a few days away. For the first time in ages and ages I parked and walked further to a shop this morning rather than paying to park. . . and that was for a refund. Hope to be able to notch up more NSDs while we're away but we'll see. x

    So March was our collective best month so far.:j:j
    So, I am declaring a group challenge :eek: Lets make April the best average yet :j So far we are only at 1.73 NSDs each, so get those nets out and get NSD hunting

    And yet March was my worst month so far :o

    But I'm definitely up for the Group Challenge:)

    Afternoon fellow NSDers :wave: (from another bitterly cold day here in London).

    Not posted for a few days as have had spend days since Tuesday and been busy at work so hope everyone is well.

    I am declaring NSD 2 today but don't expect to have another one until Tuesday or Wednesday as have birthday present and final d/d of the month going out on Monday. Unfortunately, my fairly reliable spend free weekends have been a bit hit and miss with one thing or another and next weekend is the cat's annual trip to the vet :mad:

    Have had some more success with e-B*y sales this week, only a couple of small ones but they all add up, yes? and I won't have them hanging around my flat anymore :D which isn't big enough to swing a cat in, much to my own cat's relief! :rotfl:

    Off to read back on what I've missed and update my signature.

    Enjoy the rest of your weekend.

    That's #4 please for me today.

    I like the group challenge idea freeby.

    I'm also a great lover of lists and numbers,but am clueless about spreadsheets.:o

    I love love love a spreadsheet and a list. I sometimes have a list of what lists I need

    Well done Freeby for 5 in a row.
    I've missed out on mine this week as I paid a deposit on a weekend away yesterday and DH has been spending on fishing tackle today. 'sigh'
    There's plenty of the month left though so there's always hope.
    The group challenge is a good idea, count me in please.
