    Me too, beanie, I have the same problem sometimes!! Nothing to do with my age of course, it's just that my eyes are tired :D:D

    If you use Windows, then here's a little tip.......

    At the bottom right of the window in which you have MSE open there should be a little "100%" with a little arrow pointing downwards to the right of it. If you click on the arrow, you can increase the zoom of the window to magnify everything in it. I use 125%, that usually increases it enough to read the text comfortably, so click on 125 and that should do it, hopefully.

    Hope that helps.

    Evening everyone and welcome to the first update of the month:)It’s going to be a fairly short one by the looks of it but lots of NSDs are being nabbed so well done to all of us:T

    Welcome back to:

    beanie - lovely to see you back again :hello:
    Freeby will sign you up for 14 NSDs and 4 in a row, good luck with nabbing them both :T
    You’ve made a great start already with NSD nos 1 and 2 already firmly nabbed:j:j

    marmite - good to see you again, hope everything’s OK?:hello:
    Freeby will sign you up for 17 NSDs and 4 in a row and well done for NSD no 1 in the bag already:j:j


    Well done to the following for nabbing their first NSD of the month:

    :j:jcharleybear - yay... and great news about the lack of spending urges today, that’s got to be a sign that you’ve got the NSD bug :D:T

    :j:jfreeby - a great start for you as always, woohoo!:T:T

    :j:jgetting-there-slowly - now... don’t you think reporting your first NSD of the month is enough excitement for one day, it sounds pretty good to me :D:T

    :j:jSpyderbryte - that’s the attitude, only 18 more to nab, you can do it! :T:T


    And steaming ahead with NSD no 2 are:

    :j:jfedup... - I can see you’re already on a mission to beat last month’s target :D That’s a fantastic start for you, keep it up!:T:T

    :j:jmad_scientist - you’re on a roll there.:T:T Let’s hope there are no cakes to tempt you tomorrow:D:D

    :j:jsf - and another great start for you as well, keep it going now! :T:T


    Hello to:

    If - love, love, love today’s pic, mind you, I love cats anyway:D:rotfl:

    HAW - great start for you this month:T Good news on the painless dentist visit and I won’t mention the Subway for lunch... well, until you need another kick up the bum of course!!:D

    Candlewick - glad you’re improving daily, that’s good to hear, but oh dear... you’re definitely having a run of bad luck, so sorry. Fingers crossed things start to improve for you now:A Cats are very sensitive to human emotions, especially if they’re close to the person they live with (I won’t say “owner” as you never own a cat, they just deign to live with you!!;)) and do tend to stick much closer if you’re ill. Hope she’s being good company for you. Take care hun x :A

    Nargle - those stains are definitely not oil, don’t you know the Tardis runs on vodka (or gin at a pinch!!) :D I don’t know what Igor has been brewing in the garage but I don’t think it’s turnip whisky and I’m definitely not touching it:eek:..........

    Ninno820 - a small spend is much better than a large spend, so that’s a bonus. Fingers crossed for an NSD for you tomorrow:)

    Morning all, just realised I hadn't subscribed to the thread so swift run through 6 pages to catch up, thought I might as well post my 'so far' total.

    NSD n!mero UNO aka ONE please,

    yesterday - Wed and tomorrow -Friday having to pay car parking as working at the other site so will plod off to the shops as using up 2 of my NSD so early is not good.

    Still challenging myself can only be a good thing.....?

    Eighth Anniversary Combo Breaker
    Hello again,

    Can I re-join? I failed by a few days in March, and in April I failed very miserably.

    Very difficult when my new job is slap bang in the middle of a town centre and also having to pass a coffee shop on the way in every day where it's tempting to get a 'real' coffee instead of the normal nescafe which is free at work.

    So the month of April for me was a total no-hoper!

    However, in good news - I became debt free, so I'm happy about that!!

    As May is a very busy month for me anyway, could I perhaps start again on a lower number, so at least I know I'll achieve it.

    Could I please have:

    10 NSD's

    Thank you :)
