I've seen that 'shut your eyes' thing about on t'interweb a few times, but always makes me chuckle at the truth of it!

Yes,it definitely happens like that,I agree!

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

Did have an argument about it

I'm sorry but I don't understand why you include OH's spending?I mean,he could spend money every day....even if you do have a shared budget?

I wouldn't usually count his spending as he has his own budget. He can spend that whenever he likes, as far as I'm concerned it is the equivalent of a direct debit as it's accounted for

BUT today this was food. It needs to come out of the food budget so I can see actually how much we spend on food. I don't think it was necessary given we have a freezer FULL TO OVERFLOWING of food, hence the argument (!) but it was still food. Plus I know he won't have much of his monthly spending money left now and I don't want to deal with him at the end of the month asking for more that I have budgeted because he's gone into his overdraft or used his credit card - especially if it's food spending as he'll say it's for us both - not worth the hassle and what would probably be another argument for the same thing!! So I reimbursed him from the food fund and will not count today as a NSD.

Do not fear, I WILL make my 20 NSD target and I WILL achieve 4 in a row, just not this time!!

As long as it works for you is the main thing (nsds).;)

Wait til you see Igor bearing down on you with his trusty hockey stick in a fetching tartan pinafore :eek:....Did they mention that he's also in charge of the catering...And then there's poor Hubert,who is very keen,but a bit slow.He's the goalie,but doesn't really know what he's supposed to do,and anyway,prefers to play tiddlywinks.

We are an impressive 28 nsders and have gathered together a super 91 nsds!:beer:

I made a lovely cake yesterday,a vanilla cake in a loaf tin.Very plain but just lovely.
I prefer cakes that are not too fancy,and if it has vanilla,lemon or almonds in,then I'm happy.:)

beanielou

One of my friends is a fab baker & makes amazing cakes including awesome sponges with vanilla icing. :drool:
