    I know what you mean.Doing the nsd challenge is a real eye-opener.I've found that getting an nsd is as addictive as spending money used to be.


    Thanks ETO for the mega update.

    Hey Guys.. bit a of bleurgh time just lately but, without the fog we wouldn't appreciate the view when we had it eh?

    Up to No 16 although yesterday was a close call :o Found some books I fancy while mooching around an author I'd seen chatting on TV, but I couldn't be bothered to think of yet another password to open an account.. my brain was hurting too much by then :rotfl:

    I needed some bread today, which isn't an allowable spend
    checked my bank account after I got up, and nothing had gone out
    so I put my bread maker on and retained my NSD ;)

    Now on NSD #11

    thats the way to do it cw18 i love my bread maker and havent bought "commercial" bread for over 5 years
    now that my mini dodgers have gone to uiversity thats ONE thing they miss most and look foreward to "proper" bread when they pop home
    i make everything from fancy flavoured breads/tear n share/naans/rolls and buy my flour in bulk from Mr Amozan it comes from luxeburgh and works out cheaper thn buying by the kg
    even though theres just mtself largely at home i tend to make smaller loaf or rolls and freeze to take to work


    well Weds was a NSD a spendy one yesterday bought DD a load of pic n mix to put in a fancy tin i had, to send to go for birthday sharing (never too old for pic n mix) :D
    had ordered her prezzy to be delivered to her so wasnt paying postage twice

    though early i predict a NSD today so my total will be #17NSD

    THere...Ive declared ....so no going back today ...purse to stay in drawer and theres no shops onmy dog walk im planning later

    have a great day
    JD xx
