  • Hello all :wave:

    I'm back from my lovely holiday in the sun and even have some euros left over :T. I topped up my euros card before I went so counting 7 NSDs which takes me to my target of #15 :j

    I need to stock up now so not sure how many (if any) I'll get in before Monday. I'll attempt another 2 so will you increase my target to 17 please freeby

    The trouble with payday is all the loot immediately vacates your bank account, what with bills, petrol, food etc. And what's left behind has to be left there to cover monthly direct debits and planned spends. So you feel immensely rich for a few seconds...then reality kicks in! At least I now have fridge, freezer and cupboards stuffed with food and a car tank full of motion lotion. (Mind the puddles there, folks, that's from my eyes watering at all the spending I've done for the past couple of days.)

    Now tomorrow, being tucked up out of the way at work, I won't be able to get into mischief of the fiscal kind, so put the Cauldron of Doom on standby to receive another NSD!

    Ugh, tell me about it - you spend most of the month looking to the next pay day (or is that just me?:o) then the actual day itself is almost an anti-climax.
    :rotfl: I know what you mean! Our studio ran a Flex & Tone class every week, and have to say it honestly helped a heck of a lot! It was kinda a combination of tai chi, pilates, yoga and other stuff the instructor made up I think!

    Well done so far and hopefully you get something else sorted soon :)

    Unfortunately I don't have a gym membership and can't really afford another financial commitment (plus I'm not sure when I'd have time to use it) but a few of the teachers at the venues we're looking at to aerial yoga (what is it with me that exercise has to be done mid air? :rotfl:) so may inquire about that.

    Speaking of which, not a NSD yesterday but did go and see Limbo at Wonderground on the Southbank

    https://www.londonwonderground.co.uk/

    We saw Cantina there last year which I felt had more of a cohesive storyline but OMG, Limbo was awesome (there was also a floor to ceiling pole bit where I recognised some of the moves, and even a couple I can do! :D) i think I spent half of it with my tongue hanging out, it was flippin' amazing.

    Back on the NSD wagon today - OH going to watch the fitba, and I have some house things to do. :money: sweet and sour for dinner tonight - found a turkey breast in the freezer, plus had some pineapple in there too and have a tin of sweet and sour sauce from when A$da had loads of jars / tins of sauces RTC. :A
