Beanie - thanks for your good wishes (ditto to other NSD gang members). i am usually disgustingly fit and healthy so expect this to be a short-lived episode.

Kerri - I used to make wine years ago with husband number 1. You need a moderately warm place to store the fermenting must because if the room is too cold it won't be active. Perhaps try one of those winekits with everything you need in a tin, first, to see how you get on. If it is successful, you can start to use real ingredients. I remember orange wine being very potent and strawberry wine turning out quite disgusting for some reason. I think plum, blackcurrant, elderberry,deep red fruits like those, should turn out well.

Thanks Nargle, i was looking on Amaz0n and there seem to be some reasonable starter kits on there for about the cost of one of those wine gift kit things so I might give it a go. We do have spare room upstairs but I'm a little afraid about it going wrong and a gallon of red semi-wine leaking all over the beige carpet :eek: shame that bath panel is back on really

Good Evening Folks,

I had a very busy day today, as I was off, but went to the gym at 6.30am:eek: and then went to do some xmas shopping:). I must admit that I was quite amused that the Halloween stuff was in the shops and I was buying pressies for xmas:). I also spoiled myself with a new game for the games console:o. I am therefore stuck on 1NSD so far, but hope to start collecting them very soon.

number 3 for me today!!

Well I paid for bus fair- however the money came from change I withdrew and accounted for last week. So that doesnt count right?

For October, there are three paydays left for me. This is going to be my first challenge and Im going all in. What can I say, Im Aussie, and we tend to do things like a bull at a gate.

Put me down for 15 with 3 x 4 NSD in a row. :eek:.

Defo prefer Mr S - think their orange label range is good quality and value. I am lucky we have a medium sized one which restricts me from wanting to spend too much in there :rotfl:

I hit a couple of issues with the cat-sitting and not having my own cupboards to raid, so unfortunately I have missed out in NSD's Sat, Sun and Mon, but I'm home now and today was Nsd 4 which makes target look a little unacheivable. However I will still have a good try :eek:

Caught up with emails next job try to catch up with forum threads
Have a good rest of week

Wow, everyone's done so well with their NSDs!! So impressed, well done all of you. I'm on 3xNSDs so far. Today would have been one, but I had to pick up lightbulbs for my grandmother (I could have waited until a SD but she can't) and then a (humane) mousetrap And then I was gonna be charged postage for the mousetrap, so I thought I'd pick up a £7 Christmas present at the same time to get the free postage. Although I am feeling quite smug about it all the same because I consider all of those purchases either essential or smart...
