IF: hope your leg is still intact
Jelly: your focaccia looks yummy! Very tasty! And you make it sound so simple too
Thrifty: all I can say is :eek: My last wash/cut/blowdry cost me £14!!!
Rising: get well soon!
Spoon: miss you!!
Spendy weekend but expected! Time to get the head screwed back on again now!!
Thanks everyone for the updates as always
EDIT:
Oops. Spendy dayWasn't meant to be either! Had great intentions...
...but had seen a pair of 3/4 trousers in DV8, originally £100, previously reduced to £50, now £30...
Haven't decided if I'm keeping them though. Taking them home to try with different tops/footwear before I decide...Wealth is what you're left with when all your money runs out0 -

I managed to spend £29 in the farm shop yesterday so way over budget but the fruit, veggies and salad looked so amazingly fresh and good quality that I couldn't resist. Extra large free range eggs were £1.49 for 6 (so I bought 12
) and their cheese was on special offer. I also have to confess that I bought a bottle of wine (not from the farm shop!!).
So £34 in total.
Now I have surpassed my July spending, the rest of the month will be damage limitation. No more food shopping for me until the middle of next week which looks doable at the moment. 8 for me today please.
Kerri, it really grates me when you wait in specially for a delivery or workmen and they don't turn up. I hope you get it sorted.NSD Challenge 2015: Jan 20 / 20 (2 x 5 in-a-row) / Feb 5 / 12 (4 in-a-row)
Lesson learnt from 2012: I cannot be trusted to credit card stooze!

Well its another NSD here after I went to uni to hand in my dissertation and now it's all completed.
Back to work on the hamster wheel tomorrow which will be a jolt back to reality after the last few weeks that's for certain.
