    Car MOT and food bits means spending day today, but I spy another NSD on the horizon......Igor! Get the hunting nets and unleash the Narglehounds......

    Funny the things we do to save money.....
    OH installed a bidet in our ensuite shower a few years ago, but it hasn't been used much because the water took ages to heat up (and cold water on your unmentionables is not nice). So he took it out yesterday and I, being in MSE mode, suggested we use it as a plant container on the patio. He suggested giving it a weathered look by painting it with yoghurt. I had heard of this being done with terracotta pots, but not with glazed porcelain, so I thought I'd have a go.


    So you see, m'Lud, at the time of the murder, I had the perfect alibi...

    I was on the patio rubbing yoghurt into my bidet...

    NSD 3 and my first 3 in-a-row

    I was having a really good day and feeling really positive and proud of myself and then erm... excrement happened :( That's a whine for another post though, can't change it just have to find a way around it...and find a way to increase NSDs further next month. I have the will, I just need to find a way.

    NSD for me today.

    Number 3 for me.

    I purposely didn't take my purse to work with me so I couldn't spend anything.

    Bad news is - tomorrow's a spend day =(
    Got to buy mum's birthday present tomorrow, may even buy her mother's day present whilst I am it, and most importantly, I have to buy new work shoes. I've worn them so much that they're starting to talk =( Bad times.

    But still, 3 NSDs out of 4 days so far isn't bad - 75% (60% tomorrow)
    Debts (as of 28/10/15)
    Mum: Start £3426.00 Now £2655.00 22.5% Car (on finance): Start 13823.60 Now £8728.59 36.85%
    Current Debt Free Day: 12/1/2019

    Goals:
    £2000 emergency fund £800/£2000 40%
    £5000 House Deposit £62.09/£5000 1.24%
    Car Finance Settlement Fee As of 28/10/15 £0.00/£7152.18 0%

    Right, what horrible person has nicked my Thanks button? Computers, eh?

    marmite when I joined MSE I thought about a user name....I wanted something off the wall but epic as well. In the end something sounding Lord of the Rings-ish ...then the infamous Pan Galactic Gargleblaster popped into my head (Hitch Hikers Guide to the Galaxy) and voila! Nargleblast was born.
