The "Just Keep Swimming" July NSD Thread

Lurkerderp

Didn't quite manage one yesterday (the Goddess Chocolate demanded her tribute, mere mortals cannot resist! ) but I'd like to declare today as my 2nd NSD. I've also taken care of the next few days of sacrificial offerings by baking a batch of marshmallow fudge brownies.


Freeby - hope your race for life went well and you managed to stay hydrated.

:T:T:TAndy - you legend!!!:T:T:T

Evening everyone.

Got my first NSD of July. :j:j:j That's NSD #1

Had a lovely afternoon. Had a family BBQ, little man slept through it. We did manage to keep an eye on the tennis though.

Hope everyone has had a good weekend.

Spendy day yesterday. Day out in York, so train fare (but took my own packed lunch:)). Very busy, the great weather helped obviously, but the city seems to be very popular for hen parties, and also as a venue for a pub crawl for large groups of Geordie lads - was asked several times "Where's the nearest Wetherspoons?", that's obviously the go-to pub for the dedicated and money-conscious drinker.

Spendy day today, too. Needed to get some DIY bits.

Finally, slighty off-topic, but still on the money-saving theme:

Just in case any of you haven't come across this already, a woman who lives on £10 a week for food. Lots of economic yet tasty recipe suggestions eg Brie & Bacon Risotto for 26 pence:)

Hope you all enjoyed the weekend.

Glad you're feeling better, Red, and the meal last night sounds delicious

Good Morning

The sun is shining :j but I have to go back to work today

Thanks for the update Sazzie :A


Wasn't Andy just amazing yesterday? Such determination and strength. His level of fitness is truly amazing. A brilliant win which was much deserved.

Thank you for all the 'good lucks' for my Race For Life. :A I got round it in 38 mins which was within my target. We could have been a bit faster but it was sooooooooooooooo hot. Proud I did it.



Have a fabby Monday everyone. Get out at lunchtime and sit in the sun for half an hour.
