    A sunny day today and I've bagged nsd #2 so I'm quite happy.

    Hope you all have a good week.

    :j I've managed NSD #1!!!!! Would have been two except for I went to a football tournament with DS1 yesterday. I'd planned it, took drinks and sandwiches. Halfway through there was a downpour but they opened the gates so we could get cars in. I rushed off to get my car leaving in DS1 with his friend and by the time I got back his friend's mum had bought him a hot sausage roll and a hot chocolate so I felt obliged to give her the money :(

    Been reading through the thread and just wanted to say Kerri, I was on the verge of cancelling my pet insurance at the start of the year. Luckily for me I was having a disorganised week and didn't get round to it as my dog was attacked by a bigger dog and was in a specialist unit for two weeks. After being resuscitated, having two blood transfusions, platelet transfusion plus all his care the insurance covered £5,500 of his £7,500 bill :(. I'm not sure about your situation but I was really shocked how quickly the costs mounted up!

    A late evening for me but I've been out visiting family today and had a thoroughly great time. :)

    I am checking in with 2 NSDs, one yesterday and one today. My boyfriend and I are going out tomorrow for a drive and a pub lunch so I'm not sure if it will be a spend day for me or not. Will come back in the evening to confirm.

    Hope you are all enjoying the weekend.

    Same as candlewick, just home after a long day....caught up with 2 separate friends....one paid for the coffee shop coffee and I went to the other's house with cakes I bought yesterday. Then, EA out to value the house (think it'll be on the market in the next week or so :eek: ) and off DM and DF's for dinner. Just home and finally declaring NSD # 1/15 - feels like it's been a long time coming this month but hopefully the first of many :)
