At least you don't see "COLOR" and SIZE everywhere in the finished post. Still annoying, though.One life - your life - live it!0

Another NSD for me today...resisted the urge to stop for pizza on my drive home tonight...a particularly bad day at work and was feeling a bit sorry for myself as not sleeping too well either! Anyway, I argued with myself and resisted and now i am on NSD #3 and that's 3 in a row too! I seem to recall becoming unhinged by pizza a few weeks ago... must make that dough this weekend and feed this craving. Other than that I have been most healthy and creative with my cooking and homemade meals for work lunch everyday too:A..my work colleagues are most intrigued by my creations...:D!
I have been using the jamie oliver recipes for pizza dough, getting better each time, last time I was about 50g short of flour (needed 500g) so used 50g of polenta and a little but of plain flour. Really good.
Also adapted one of his recipes for basic sauce, pasatta, basil, garlic and a dash of Worcester sauce. Gently cook the crushed / finely chopped garlic in olive oil until it starts to colour, add the pasatta basil (finely chopped) and a dash of Worcester sauce, reduce to desired thickness. Fab for pizza sauce or a pasta sauce base.Declaring NSD no. 2 today. Going home to cook, have amaretto in if I fancy a wee swig and mini choc mousses in if I want something sweet to eat.

Sorry,emoticons still don't work on kid's laptop,but this is my first NSD for the month (enter shock emoticon here).
Nothing very interesting to report here.
Aren't there lots of fantastic results around for this month?
Bit jealous......
Plenty more time in the month, fret not.
Well good job there is too, no NSD today (needed bread, toothpaste and a couple of bits) and won't be one tomorrow as I have a meal to attend in the evening....if I can walk that is. Had boot camp this morning as it was cancelled yesterday due to the weather, became rather good friends with a 5kg kettle bell....then topped it off with pole tonight, lots of handstands :eek:Feb 2015 NSD Challenge 8/12JAN NSD 11/16

Hi saver upper, one is good too, if you know what I mean. Anyone still having emoticon trouble, try google chrome instead of internet explorer. I only really use if for the forums as other functions don't work so well for me, but it does mean I get emoticons.
Also realised there are only 28 days in Feb, which means I have used 4 of my 6 NSD already...this is not going to be easy:eek:

I have reached the dizzy height of 4 nsds thus far, due in the main to being a right old misery with an added side of :mad: No idea why but still warning everypeeps to stay well clear

managed NSD #3 yesterday
Checked my bank account early this morning, and the D/Debit for my landline and broadband went out today - so I've been out shopping. Hoping that means the weekend will bring me 2 more NSDs (will want some fresh veg tomorrow, but that's a permitted spend).Cheryl0 -
Good week so far for me and I'm happy to report NSD 4 and 3 in a row for me.
Was well pleased yesterday when I managed to go to Tesco for goodies for a Work's team meeting and only spent Works money and today I've resisted the temptation to go to the pub lunch time so that's another load of dosh saved.
Spend day tomorrow as need to do the weekly shop but hopefully I'll be able to keep that under control. :jCredit Card £[STRIKE]2332.04[/STRIKE] at 1st Jan 14 now £2089 :mad:
