Boooooo, evil. Where I grew up was in a valley, so the air was always very still, surrounded by fields of yellow. Was awful for hayfever and asthma sufferers.
We could play our hockey game in said fields of evil and use our sticks as scythes to chop it all down (with you in gas mask of course)?Debt 2008 - Approx £20k | April 2014 £6526 | 30 October 2015 DEBT FREE

Calling it - NSD #8 for me
Might have borrowed a cup of milk from, let's say, a neighbour (!) to save buying any!
But grr:mad: petrol is on red...again! And my £80 petrol budget for the month is all spent! Hopefully the 40 odd miles left will last a few days yet & I'll have to raid the food fund to feed the car!!

And another couple of NSDs squeezed into the cauldron of Doom makes my tally so far 6 out of 15. Not to good so far this month, but still time for a few more.
Sitrep, please, Igor! How did the hockey practice go?
cw did WHAT to Hubert????
And you say ShirePiskie, t2rry and marmite were away with the fairies? Oh, you mean fairy in the singular - no, that would have been beanie in her Tinkerbell frock.....oh, you mean they were all off down the pub at half time? Instead of accepting your gracious offer of a rapeseed and lemonade cocktail...the rotters!
And where was Knitwitch and the others? Oh, she's got them all busy knitting NSD gang supporters scarves for everyone - I hope they realise the match is this coming Saturday, do you think they will be finished in time?
What news of the other team? Did you and Hubert do covert ops like I said, and spy on them? Oh, you think they will be easy to beat? After a dose of your Brussels sprout curry...of course!
Well, it sounds as if it is going to be a very interesting match - hope the food and entertainment afterwards will be up to our usual high standards. No flashing blue lights and sirens this time, please!One life - your life - live it!0 -

Intriguing-are you going to have a link to your blog?
It's empty right now but at 11:00am I scheduled an introduction post to start the ball off.
My blog will be about how to maintain the alternative style with a cutesy touch without spending a fortune on the clothes, accessories and other bits and bobs whilst still being affordable. Also my blog will be about my everyday life, what I got up to, how to’s and tips for my readers as well as entertainment to everything between.

Very impressive 'calling' it so early. Hoping for a NSD as well myself, so I can catch up that pesky Knit Witch. Am sure I read somewhere that this wasn't a competition, but I just can't help myself.
