    Very excited to be checking in with NSD #4!

    Why didn't I join this challenge ages ago?! :)
  • Congrats fedup :j Way to show those c/cards whose in charge!

    I have managed to snag NSD #5 today. I thought I would have to pay an annual membership today but they want a cheque (how 1990's!) so I will be leaving that til Thursday, my next planned spendy day. I also resisted the lure of a drink before I came home just so I could keep my NSD :rotfl: I think my social life is suffering for this challenge!

    Sorry :oSpoon it is :D:D
    No need to apologise, HAW, it's much easier to type:D
    :rotfl:
    I found a kick up the bum helped them to get their act together and move a bit quicker... you can borrow my bum kicking smiley if you'd like:D

    Had to read through 3 pages before I found your update. Very well done on 2 and 3 :T

    Aww... thanks hun x :o
    I'm still stuck on 1!!!! :mad: What am I not like?!
    You have potential for development... that's the way to look at it:D
    Sat was bro's birthday so had a last minute emergency card and jaffa cakes (!!) purchase coz I'm super disorganised! :p
    Ooops....
    Sun was grocery shopping which IS fine for a NSD, but the coffees and hot chocolates I got for me, OH and DD2 is NOT fine :o:(
    and oops again......
    Have to get makeup today for DD2, but she is paying me back.
    But if I spend another £6 I'll get an extra 200 Boots points :o Need to get a couple things anyway so may as well get them today and get the points...

    *sigh*

    Tomorrow??!
    Yes, of course, tomorrow it is:D
    EDIT:
    Got DD2 her makeup (3 for 2) and my shampoo, conditioner and dry shampoo (also 3 for 2) so happy with that.
    I should think you are happy, you've got some good bargains there:T
    And just bought myself a perfume and lotion gift set online!! :eek: Ran out of my fav perfume months ago and kept putting off replacing it. Today I just figured: stuff it!! :p Should be here in a couple of days :j
    I think we all have "stuff it" days... I'll post a picture for you:)
    So yeah: fingers crossed for NSD tomorrow!! ;)

    Fingers and toes crossed.... you can do it :T
