    No NSD today - needed some shopping and flowers to take to a friend I'm visiting tomorrow. Decided to treat myself to the YS flowers...I do love having them in the house but try really hard to keep the MSE head on as they're not essential :)

    Potential exciting news....had an estate agent out today to value my house as I'm thinking about putting it on the market. His valuation was higher than expected but he's from outside the area. Got some local guys coming tomorrow so will have a better idea if I can afford to sell it. Fingers crossed :T

    Sorry I've been in the pub to bolster myself for Igor's drink concoctions! (by the way it isn't nettle beer I am providing but Rosemary Ale!)

    Meanwhile Cheese and Onion turnovers, mince and potato pies and hummus and dips all round!
    Do not meddle in the affairs of Dragons, for thou art crunchy and good with catsup :D

    No NSD for me as had an attack of the spendy demons, but I know there will be a couple of victims at the weekend, so best get my NSD hunting net ready....

    Have you finished stuffing those vol au vents, Igor? I see the first guests approaching....ooh! Looks like they come bearing gifts....is that a pork pie I see before me? And a bottle of Dragon's vintage nettle beer.......best keep BigMumma away from that, remember what happened last time? I'm still trying to delete the memory of her underwear flying from the TV aerial......I do hope Spoon got the Tardis through its MOT, can't have NSD gang members stuck between two dimensions, not when there's a maypole calling and a band tuning up....Strip the Willow, anyone?

    Never mind the second dimension, Nargle, I think we've been in the fifth.... flipping Tardis threw a tantrum and those bloomin' mechanics, I don't know what they've done to her wobble board!!:D

    Hmm... seems as though I've missed a good party again..... I see Hubert is hanging from the maypole along with BigMumma, guess I better untie them both... and no... I do not want to hear your latest revamp of "I will survive" thank you, Hubert, either with or without your pink stilettos on :D


    Thought it was about time I signed up for May.. better late than never, that's my motto:D

    I'll go for my usual 20 NSDs this month please, freeby, and I'm going to be adventurous and go for 5 in a row as well, please

    Welcome back to all the regulars, good to see you again, and welcome to all the newbies, hope you enjoy the challenge

    I went swimming so didnt manage a NSD today but I love swimming so it was worth it ;)

    So long as it was worth it!! ;):D
    I go to Zumba every week and I PAYG, which means every Thursday would be a spend day. BUT I asked about a concession card. I got to pay up front for 10 sessions (which can actually be used in any of their classes), there's no time limit for the card to be used, plus it saved me £10 over the 10 sessions!! Win! Win! Plus I only have to count it as 1 spend instead of 10. Could you maybe do something like that? Worth checking out maybe!

    Not a NSD for me! Got Subway on my way into work for lunch (:eek:), and had a dentist appointment this morning. Just a checkup though so quick and painless :D

    Well done those who have got their first NSD already!! :T:T
