    Good Evening folks from a mainly dry NI:eek:

    I hope everyone had a good hump day and is well:).
    Now for the rant! I had a horrible afternoon and I don't like my job very much at the minute, although do realise I am lucky that I like it at least some of the time! End of rant:(
    I am able to declare NSD3 for today which is also my 3rd in a row:D.
    Apologies for the outburst!

    Oh goodness, what have I started :rotfl:

    Re the forbidden C word. Or X word, if you are a hopeless consumer-obsessed philistine. On the Moneysaving Old Style forum somewhere is a thread about Preparations for Christmas 2013 - worth a look for ideas and to commune with other such [STRIKE]saddos[/STRIKE] sorry well-prepared people....

    I like planning for Xmas - it gives me something focus my OCD (sorry, obsessively organised mind :D) on :D

    Well yesterday wasn't a NSD, took DN to boot camp, he did very well, then into town to get some sweets for the cinema later. He was very good, quite happy to get some from the 99p shop (where we compared the size of the big bag vs the pick n mix cup :money:) and then went to pick up a football for a kick about with his uncle today - not even a quibble about getting the cheaper one :A Then we all went to see World War Z in the evening so a bit of a late one again. Idea of the film was good, but personally I think they could easily have done without Brad in it.

    Hey ho, anyway - boot camp again this morning (6.30am :eek:) and then back to work - honestly, being on leave seems that you have to therefore cram three days work into the day you're back :mad: Consequently I'm pooped tonight and looking forward to an early night. Washing done, floors hoovered and mopped and dishwasher emptied (also restored the kitchen to some semblance of tidy after OH and DN had been about all day)

    Oh, and most important news of the day...NSD #1 in the bag - so I guess there's some benefit to being back at work :rotfl:

  • NSD #2 for me :j

    So far so good. I've been regularly emptying my purse of change since starting this MSE lark and it seems to be working. If I get collared for a collection or milk money I'll be stuck but at least I'm not heading for the vending machine at work.

    Tomorrow's looking good on the NSD front. All meals are in the cupboard/fridge waiting to be put together and hopefully there's nothing on the horizon waiting to surprise me.

    Fingers crossed :)
