    Got NSD 2 yesterday - the weather cooperated by giving me no incentive whatsoever to leave the house!

    Miss E ~ I remember it well.
    Just remember that things don't always plan out quite as we think but there is always another route.
    My DS is off to Stirling soon & I could not be prouder~ well maybe if he cleaned his room a bit :rotfl:

    Unexpected NSD # 3 captured today. DD left her handbag at my cousin's house where we stayed this weekend so we took the train down to theirs to collect it. I had lovey rail vouchers (courtesy of delayed train compensation) so it cost me nothing :D

    Definitely not one tomorrow...exam results day in Scotland and I have a DD to celebrate (!) with.....:j

    Best wishes for DD I can still remember my own results day and its ..ahem xx years ago :rotfl:

    Good luck to all exam results receivers this week, Beanies words are so apt, it may not work out how you think, but it will work out.

    Another NSD for me yesterday - so now 2 out of 10. Pleased with this as it's only my first month of trying to do this.

    Won't be another NSD today as I need to buy some fruit and sandwich fillings for DH's lunches - he used the last of the cheese yesterday and ham today!

    Thanks for the update Sazzie :D

    Someone asked ages ago what 'fifteens' were (I'm guessing it must be an Irish thing! ;)) They're absolutely yummy and easy-peasy to make. Googled and got a recipe here.

    Wanting a NSD but know there's stuff I gotta get/do today so not sure what way it'll go.... Back later to update!!

    Have a great day everybody :)

    EDIT:

    NSD #2 for me :D

    And I'm actually quids up!
    I bought a door poster frame from HMV last time I was in Belfast as our local HMV was one which closed. Made sure I picked one where the shrink wrap wall still intact. Got it home and seen that their shatterproof plexiglass was actually cracked in front of one of the wee clip holders for the back! Raging! Sent an email with photos off to HMV, they replied, I posted the receipt off to them, and they rang me today to refund the money back to my card :D
