    Right,well that's put me out of my misery,then!OH has gone with the children to his parent's for the day while I was supposed to get on with housework:rotfl: ,paperwork:rotfl::rotfl:,and Christmas shopping planning:eek:.
    (In actual fact I have cleaned the kitchen,put on a load of washing-but not unloaded it:finished about 5 hours ago!-,and been on MSE the rest of the day.
    So,plans for a NSD have been thwarted.I resisted the call of the local garage for such a long time,but then it became so loud.I went out and bought mince pies,chocolate biscuits and chocolate bars :eek:.Yum yum!

    Will call that a non-NSD,then :o

    On a positive note,I have tomorrow off work to catch up on housework,paperwork,and Christmas shopping planning!!!
    Hooray!!

    Hello there!


    Just popping in to report


    NSD # 4 and # 5


    Didn't go out yesterday and today some friends came over for lunch, so haven't been out today either.


    This also means 4 in a row which I'm surprised about. I didn't target myself for any NSD's in a row, so I'm pleased to achieve these.

    my endeavours to find the perfect bird to accompany the festivities would this feed the 5000 or 107 ??


    I only hope one can find the correct proportion of stuffing and oven temperature settings :D

    #4 is in the bag!


    Didn't even leave the house today, as timed all my jobs like grocery shopping for yesterday, as I had to leave the house anyway for this Christmas Fayre at work. You'll be pleased to hear that the stall I was running, "Pin the hat on Santa" made a grand total of £3.40 for almost 3 hours work... Hell, I'd have GIVEN them £3.40 to NOT have to give up a Saturday afternoon! Utterly dismal, and sooooo boring! :o


    All being well, most of this coming week should be NSDs. Fingers crossed I can get to next Saturday without needing petrol... Might just make it... I'm still learning how much this new car can do between top-ups. I've had it since the 18th I think, and only needed to top it up the day I collected it.
    We shall see.
    Because it's fun to have money!
