 Also first session back at boot camp for a nearly a month...and OMG I can feel it. Thank goodness anything I've lost should come back pretty quickly with muscle memory and I'm not starting from scratch again. On the funny side, we nearly cause a car crash when a van was so busy watching us ladies he nearly drove into the car in front :rotfl:
 Yikes!Hope you get over the jetlag soon.
 Not one for me today.I stocked up on various lentils and beans from the Indian shop and also got some cat litter.
 I've just realised that the sales are on just now,so am on a mission to get a wok at sale price.Bang goes tomorrow's nsd.:o
 Anyone watching the tennis?Amazing to see Federer knocked out.What a game though!0

 Yes, definitely, marmite, it's way too exciting to miss this year... Nadal out one day, Federer two days after, Sharapova and the other squealy one today (Aza-something, can never remember their names...) Federer's match was brilliant to watch! I don't know what all the fuss is about the courts, grass is slippery..... you think they'd have learned that by now!!An unexpected little NSD 16 for me today. Should have at dog training tonight but he's been a total A**E today, I didn't go!

 I would count your holiday spends as NSDs, MissE, as you've already saved up the money and "spent" it by putting it on your card, that's what most people do here anyway.
 Hope your last day at work goes smoothly without any nasty surprises. The time you enjoy wasting is not wasted time The time you enjoy wasting is not wasted time 0 0

 I would agree with spoon on this too. The day you load your card is the spendy day, rather than the days you use the card.
 Hope the fancy dinner was nice getting-there-slowly :D                        Wealth is what you're left with when all your money runs out0 :D                        Wealth is what you're left with when all your money runs out0
