    Hello lovely people :wave: Hope you've all had a good, and NSD, Sunday :D

    Thanks for the welcome back messages Red, Kerri, Fedup, Sazzie, Nargle and anyone else I've missed :o I've missed you all too...

    Kerri, Yes I did notice the tartan graffiti on the tardis, I thought it added a certain something... not quite sure what the "something" is, mind :rotfl:

    spoony~It had made my Sunday to 'see' you :wave: :grin:

    Awww.... thanks Beanie :A Lovely to see you again as well. Hope everything's OK with you and DS?

    Flubberyz - sorry you're feeling a bit down in the dumps today, it's probably the affect effects of the accident. Take care hun :A
    AAAARRRRGGGHHH!!!! F word alert!

    Right, gang, this heinous crime cannot go unpunished. Suggestions, please, for an appropriate punishment fro uttering the F word on this thread.

    Something involving raspberry jam and feathers, maybe? Or a tin of creosote?

    A warning to all new peeps - we do not "fail" on here. Every NSD is worth celebrating, even if you don't quite achieve your target.

    Hmmmm..... I'm qjuite liking the idea of raspberry jam and feathers, Nargle, but how about a good old-fashioned custard pie in the face :D

    Oops, I'm sorry! I will make sure I remember :) If I am given a choice, I will choose raspberry jam and the custard pie over creosote!!! ;) To that end, declaring today as NSD 4. Have entered all costs into the spreadsheet and am reminding myself that nobody is perfect... thank you all!

    Nov 9th and 10th

    Evening everyone,

    beanie - hope you are well. Up to NSD # 6. :j:j Hope you enjoyed your yummy cake.
    Traveller - well done on achieving NSD # 7. :j:j can I just ask that you put the number of the NSD you have achieved, it just helps me to make sure I don't make a mistake. Thank you,
    Fedup - NSD # 7 & 8 . :j:j Well done. You're on a right roll. Keep going, double figures soon to be declared I sense. :D
    Strandedinaber - nooooo you didn't FAIL. Good job I haven't worked out piccies, or your fate may be worse than a custard pie. :rotfl: anyway you've had enough stick. At least it's helped you to look at your budget. No point being strict then feeling bad for spending, you have to be realistic and set an achievable, budget. And now you have nabbed NSD # 4 :j:j
    Knit Witch - NSD # 7 for you. Excellent achievement. :j:j. Well if you're going to spend money it might as well be at the pub. :rotfl: although I sense double figures for you too very soon.
    Positivelypurple - well done on NSD # 3. :j:j Mmmmm I love lamb from the slow cooker, we had chicken and veg casserole today done in the slow cooker. Delish. :D
    joedenise - NSD # 7 for you. Well done.:j:j Hope you had a good night at the dogs. :D
    MissE001 - well done on NSD # 2. :j:j Hope you enjoyed your evening with your friends.
    Suzitiger - well done on achieving NSD # 1 & 2. :j :j Every NSD is fab. Keep it up.
    Pinknfluffy - NSD # 5 for you. And 3-in-a-row. :j:j Fantastic stuff. That's a great achievement.
    Flubberyzing - wow NSD 6 & 7 achieved. Well done. :j:j Sorry you're not feeling so good at the moment. Give yourself some time to get over the accident. And the insurance people are buggas aren't they, just adding to the stress. :(
    Getting-there-slowly - well done on NSD 4. :j:j
    Kate_fixing_it - wowsers well done on NSD # 6 and 5-in-a-row. :j:j what an excellent achievement considering it's only the 10th. And don't put yourself down, I've never got more than 2-in-a-row.
    Nargle - congrats on achieving NSD # 4 & 5. :j:j Hope you're keeping them safe in the cauldron.
    Kayester - excellent declaring NSD # 6 & 7. :j:j. Fantastic achievement, keep it up.
    Bottleofred - well done on NSD # 4 & 5 :j:j Is there such a thing as too much red. :D
    Candlewick - NSD # 3 declared. Well done :j:j And good news on the electric payments.
    Spoon - hey stranger :wave: of course you're welcome back, nice to have you back. We're good thanks, can't believe little man is 6 months old, where does time go. Hope you are doing ok and things calm down for you. And well done on your 7 NSD's, fab start to the month.
    Saver-upper - well done on nabbing NSD # 4 :j:j

    And me

  • Hi ETO:),

    If you'd asked 10 years ago, when I was 5 stone heavier and obviously younger, I'd have said you can never have enough Red wine:)! However, I am a bit lighter and unfortunately older, so now I am sorry to admit that yes, sadly there are times when I have had far too much Red and now pay the penalty the next day:eek:! I still throw myself manfully into it though:o
    Thank you for the updates:T

    I rarely drink but if I do it's red wine, champagne and baileys. ( not all together :rotfl: ) they are pretty much the only drinks I enjoy. I'm sure that's an age thing too, and as a result of drinking far too much in my younger years. :D Just re read that and it makes me sound a little older than my 36 years. Hahahaha.

    But oooo well done on the weight loss.

    And of course you still have to give it a good go..... At least once in a while..... :D
