    Hello everyone :)

    Hope everyone is well this balmy evening. I managed to keep my purse in my bag today and bagged myself NSD #8 :T

    Front pages are all up to date.



    I'm off to bed. A nice early night for me. I think I am still getting over this virusy thing I had but I'm not complaining - I love my bed :D

    Happy hump day tomorrow.

    Evening everyone :wave:

    I know freeby has already updated the front page but I’m programmed to do an update on Tuesdays (well, except when I forget, of course:o) so an update I will do.......:D


    Well done to:

    beanie - steaming ahead with NSD no 8. :j:j You’re doing brilliantly as always, keep it up!:T
    Hope you enjoyed listening to the Killers on Sunday?:)

    cardi - hopefully you’re the proud owner of NSD no 6 by now...:j:j I’m trusting your willpower to resist that tempting ice cream. Keep resisting, you can do it!:T

    ETO - NSD no 4 added to the pile now,:j:j you’re doing great, keep going now!:T
    Hope you and little’un are both OK?:A

    fedup - motoring along nicely with a brilliant NSD no 14,:j:j keep it going!:T

    getting there - NSD no 9 bites the dust, woohoo!:j:j Glad you’re enjoying the sunshine but it must be a relief that it’s a bit cooler this evening.. sleeping in the sort of heat we’ve had is difficult...:(

    Helyonnaise - declaring early is definitely the way to be sure of nabbing those NSDs and you’re doing brilliantly with NSD no 5.:j:j
    Great news that your spends have reduced this month, that’s the reason for trying to nab NSDs so it seems to be working well for you:T

    marmite - a fabby NSD no 12 and a brilliant 5 in a row, woohooo!!:j:j
    Hope you manage to hold out to Thursday on the grocery front and I’m keeping my fingers crossed that it cools down a bit for you soon:A

    Nargle - Chateau Nargle should be proud of all the NSDs it’s contributing this month,:T NSD no 8 being the most recent, woohoo!:j:j

    wildcherry - reporting in with a brilliant NSD no 9, woohooo!!:j:j
    Your break in Cambridge sounds fabby, hope you manage to recharge your batteries and get some you time:A


    And hello to:

    sazzie - hope your computer is behaving a bit better today... they can be so damn annoying sometimes:mad:

    lilian - yes of course you can do it... the NSDs are heading your way as I type:T

    IF - love today’s pic, thanks for the daily smiles:T


    And as for me...

    NSD no 14 nabbed today so I'm pleased with my progress so far this month :j
    Spendy day tomorrow :( but hopefully I'll be back on the NSD wagon again on Thursday

Gonna have my work cut out for me if I've any hope of getting to the double figures this month!!! :o

    But very well done everyone else!! :D

    Monday was NSD 12, not one yesterday and won't be one tomorrow. Fingers crossed today will be one.

    Spoon, about DH, all I'll say is, bed, chains, 2nd honeymoon. ;):o :rotfl:

    I still need to decide all my rules for this challenge - one I haven't decided on is parking costs. I had an appt yesterday which I need to pay to park and was still undecided when I found a ticket on the floor. :D So yesterday definitely counts.

    Today not so much. Food shopping and another trip to the vets which is why I have no money in the first place. :(
