    Evening :)

    Flying in to say the front page is up to date but if I have missed you I am sorry. My internet is driving me mad at the moment (this is my 3rd attempt to post :mad:)


    Beanie - You declared No 9 twice so I gave you No 10 :T



    Have a great weekend everyone :T


    If I have to type this again, the whole of Scotland will hear my scream.

    Friday was a spend day and tomorrow I'm going to a wedding so that will be too. Hoping for Sunday! Aiming to beat my first target (plus I'm running out of money!!)

    Ok I'm going out on a limb and declaring NSD10 even tho its only 10am. OH is back to work today after our week off and I'm spending today hibernating, cleaning and batch baking to allow for more lovely NSD's!!! Thank god we r havin our first cool day today or I doubt I cud consider putting the oven on.
    Fedupandskint- thanks for sharing with us ur "facing up" it's helping me face up more and slowly add some scary numbers to my sig. Gotta admit seeing others in the same boat makes the ride a little better :)

    Can I join at this late stage? I'd like to have 3 NSDs from now until the end of July.

    I am really struggling at the moment and seem to be haemorrhaging money - spent £40 yesterday and don't really have anything to show for it! :( Feel quite guilty about that.

    I was going to have today as a NSD but really I do need to pick up some juice and cola because I have nothing in and it looks like it's going to be a scorcher!

    Yesterday did turn out to be NSD 14. Today won't be as we're going to the theatre tonight. Our anniversary is tomorrow so I don't know if we'll be spending or not. Nothing really planned for the day.

  • Well I think that today could be NSD 4 for me. I am having dinner at my mums today and tomorrow so no need for shopping today and I have enough bits and bobs in for lunches etc.

    I am going to brave the heat and do some baking today - a wee fruit crumble to take up to my mums to say thanks for dinner. I am hoping to have NSD tomorrow and Mon, Tue and Wed too! OH is off on Tuesday and we are planning to make use of his birthday gift of Historic Scotland membership so no spend day out planned for Tue.
