    Mega spendathon yesterday and today, but at least I have most of next month's meals organised, so should only spend bits and bobs eg milk, bread, fruit and veg.

    Spoon - sorry about your carp days. I'm off to a spa day Monday (voucher received as Christmas prezzy) and taking DD with me (my birthday gift to her), so will send some healing, relaxing vibes your way......really looking forward to it.

    So, have the potential to reach target this month if I keep focussed.....

    No need for apologies spoon, we all have our lives to live :) Hope everything is okay with you though :A
    Thanks for the offer to help but it seems to have been really quiet lately................where is everyone?????????

    Thanks Freeby x All's fine really, just work... and month end :eek: If you do need some help, just shout.. seriously :A

    It does seem to have been quieter here over the past week judging by the number of pages..... maybe everyone's out enjoying the Spring weather... if they have any, of course ;)

    we have beaten February's average NSDs :j:j


    Well done :j:j:j


    Woop woop, that's brilliant :j:j:j:j I think we all deserve a big pat on the back for that:T:T

    Well I've [STRIKE]trawled through [/STRIKE]read with interest:D the posts since I last visited and just wanted to catch up with a few of you.

    Candlewick - hope the op goes well, take care x

    Jelly - I never have any cash on me so I'm a permanent NCOMAAD-er:D

    karen - the cupcakes looked lovely, I hope you didn't eat them, they're far too good for that fate :D

    HAW - woohooo to NSD no 7, you're doing brilliantly.. do you need another "kick" start? :D

    Busybumblebee - welcome to MSE and the NSD gang. Hope you enjoy the challenge x

    MissE - nuts? .... who's nuts here? We're all perfectly sane and rational people, have you not noticed? :D:D:D:D

    and as if to prove how sane and rational I am... I've forgotten my NSDs again :doh:

    OK... well when I last declared I was on NSD no 11 so, by my reckoning, I've nabbed NSD no 19 today so I've earned my prize and am now well over my target :j:j

    We're so close to the end of the month now that I won't bother setting another target, I'll just try to rack a few more in to keep the old average up :D
