    marmite the yoghourty bidet is starting to look grimey, think I might give it another coat, as it still looks like a white porcelain bidet, just with mucky bits. When the warmer weather arrives I will plant it up with flowers and herbs.

    Well, unexpected outlay on DS summer course mean chances of NSD totally screwed. But as I have a working weekend, no money will escape so should have a couple more NSDs for the Cauldron of Doom.

    Hurrah - NSD #13 and 6 in a row! Spent time on my writing today and went for a nice long walk. No spending for me. I'm having grocery shopping delivered on Monday so that's a spendy day. Hoping to get through Saturday and Sunday with no spends though. Bring it on!
