    NSD #5 gained today :-) Yesterday nearly was one but then I downloaded a resource I had to pay for for school. It was worth it though as the children enjoyed the story. I've just cleared out my purse - usually a sunday night job and added £9 to my £1 coin jar, 60p to my 20p jar and £11.10 to my New Home Fund. Feeling quite pleased with my lack of spending last week :) and so far this week I still have all the money I drew out :)

    OH spent - can't decide whether that's a spendy day or NSD now!

    Did have an argument about it :(

    Hmph...decided it would be cheating to call it a NSD when it's spending on what I consider to be non-essential items. So I will reimburse OH from the food budget (about £7) and have to achieve my 4 in a row another time. Gutted stuck on 5

    Okay, here goes.....Wheeeeeeeeeeeee-kersplosh! Wheeeeeeeee-kersplosh! That's the sound of numbers 2 and 3 NSDs landing in the Cauldron of Doom!

    (Right, Igor, :grouphug: for marmite for all the sterling work she puts in to this thread, it is so easy to just pop on here and post the latest totals and dash off again without thinking to say :beer: to the person doing all the donkey work. No, Hubert, I was not talking to you. Yes, Igor, a cake in marmite's honour sounds a splendid idea. Chocolate cake? Excellent choice Igor, but I would lose the marmite-flavoured buttercream icing.)

    And, talking of celebrations and thank-yous, let's have some ideas for our Midsummer Solstice party. Do we go to Stonehenge again (surely our faces will have disappeared from the police "wanted" notices by now, and the poor constable who got kidnapped and held in pink fluffy handcuffs a couple of years back should have finished his course of psychotherapy ages ago...) or do we play safe and have a little do at Ennessdee Towers?

    Or, (drum roll, please, I have had the most fabulous idea..) how about, in honour of the title of this thread, a friendly hockey match? In fancy dress? And a little strawberry cream and Pimms tea afterwards?

    Ideas, please, folks, only about 11 days to go before the solstice, and whatever we decide in the end it usually ends up being a good night.

    How about the Rings of Brodgar for the picnic? and I am sure that somewhere near there we can play fancy dress hockey!
    Must use my stash up!

    NSD 5 today

    I should have 5 days including today not 3. I had 1 day when I joined, 3 days last week and 1 today;
    Sorry to be picky but thought I should clear it up :)
    It just made it a bit difficult to actually track my days...
    Thanks xx.
