    Luckily Hubert was around,so Igor leapt on his back,and showed some fine donkeymanship with some heartstopping moments.It's just a shame that Hubert has no sense of direction,and ended up in the carrot patch,munching away to his heart's content...Igor is still cursing,and has decided to go by tandem...He hasn't realised that it takes two...Anyone up for it?


    After some ferocious spendy days,along with a few 'want/not need' buys,I can safely say that today is #13.

    Reporting in with NSD #12 and 5 in a row! It's becoming a habit now. I've stopped browsing in shops and if I want to buy something I'm waiting a day to see if I really need it...9 times out of 10 I don't. I've been writing in my spare time and getting a lot of satisfaction from that and it takes up the time I'd be surfing the net spending money on eBay or Amazon. Yay - bring it on!

    I refrained from spending yesterday (other than on milk for DS1 which is an allowed spend), and haven't spent a penny on anything today - so that puts me on NSD #17 (12 of them pure NSDs) and 10 in a row

    Still another 5 days until my next scheduled spend, although Saturday may stop my run. OH and I are off to participate in a chocolate making class (courtesy of W0wcher), and I'm sure they'll have bits and pieces for sale to enable us to try and replicate at home. I'm hoping the fact I've gone off chocolate (and that the eating of sugary foods gives me headaches) will allow me to keep my purse firmly closed. Still leaves the possible issue of car parking fees though....

    Igor! Stop poncing around with that donkey! Thanks to your antics the NSD slipped from my grasp and I found myself in Sainsbugs getting one or six little bits and pieces.....oh well, there's always tomorrow.....

    Errr, think I'll pass on the tandem offer thanks :p

    Not had one of my dilemmas for a while so....

    Yesterday I wanted to get some washing up liquid in tacto, large size on offer with a coupon. However our useless tacto metro didn't have the most economical size in the offer. :mad: so today, I went done to Waiteys and got what I wanted yesterday (same size, same offer) and that was the only spend. I couldn't do that yesterday as it's the other end of town and I didn't have time at lunch.

    SO. Do I get to count today as a NSD given I tried to make the spend yesterday, and bought nothing else today....???

    Ah,disaster....sorry about that...yes the dynamic duo of Igor Cassidy and the Sundance Donkey have seen better days.Igor has gone off muttering about something.He says he's 'on it',whatever that means.


    Better luck tomorrow!
